An EDP collaborator in Vietnam releasing adult Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into the wild.
Dengue has reared its ugly head again in Malaysia, affecting a whooping 76,616 people this year, an increase of 239% over the 22,602 cases reported last year. With 146 deaths as of September 27 and counting, it would seem that fogging and repeated warnings of environmental cleanliness are of no avail. Are there other solutions?
Prof Scott O'Neill, Monash University Dean of Science and the program leader of the Eliminate Dengue Program (EDP), stumbled upon the the Wolbachia's inhibiting function on dengue viruses by accident. Wolbachia is a bacteria found in up to 60% of the world's insects. When injected into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the bacteria greatly reduces the transmission of dengue viruses.
At the Sir John Monash Distinguished Public Lecture in Monash University Malaysia on 30 September, Prof O'Neill explained that his EDP researchers in Vietnam found that when these Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes were fed the blood of patients with all four strains of dengue, the samples taken from the mosquitoes' saliva and abdomen a few days later showed that the virus had been blocked.
As it turns out, infected mosquitoes could easily spread the bacteria to non-infected ones, and over a span of three months, a whole mosquito population would have Wolbachia. The presence and effect of the bacteria were not diminished after many years, as found by researchers who caught the mosquitoes four years after initial release in the same area. Better still, the bacteria has no known effects on humans.
So convincing is the research and results that EDP is funded and supported by the likes of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Australian government and the Brazilian government among others.
Currently, the EDP team has released adult mosquitoes injected with Wolbachia in communities in Australia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Prof O'Neill giving his talk at the Sir John Monash Distinguished Public Lecture.
Prof O'Neill believes that his method could work hand-in-hand with vaccines to eradicate dengue completely. "Using a predicted epidemiological impact model done by academics at Imperial College, vaccines would reduce the number of cases but not stop a dengue outbreak because not all the population would be vaccinated. With the Wolbachia method, it would eliminate the disease for about 40 years, but it will come back when our future generations have no immunity to dengue. However, with the Wolbachia method and vaccines, we could eliminate it completely," he said.
Using mosquitoes in tackling dengue is not a new phenomenon, Oxitec has done it before with transgenic male mosquitoes that carry a dominant lethal gene which, upon mating, would render female mosquitoes (the ones responsible for spreading dengue viruses) flightless.
However, Prof O'Neill revealed that when these genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes were released in Malaysia in 2011, there was a huge public backlash. "There are groups out there that target GM research, which is a shame because doing something like this is a much greener approach than spraying toxins in the air," he said.
Knowing that public receptivity is crucial to his program's effectiveness, the EDP team engages in active community engagement through advertising, media events, town hall meetings, social media and such.
"Most messages around the world about dengue are 'kill the mosquitoes, don't let them bite you' but here we are releasing mosquitoes that are going to bite you and your children," he joked. Hence, half the battle is convincing communities. Surprisingly, the communities that live in the areas of the EDP mosquito releases, has responded positively.
Part of the method's appeal is cost efficiency; given time, the mosquitoes would breed and spread Wolbachia on their own compared to consistent fogging or spraying of insecticides.
Prof O'Neill and Dr P. Johnson inspecting the mosquitoes.
Currently, Prof O'Neill's concern is how to "scale-up" on an international level, seeing that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are not the free-roaming types to fly out of their homeground. This has meant that scientists needed to seed mosquitoes vigorously over a span of 2 to 3 months to cover a specific area. These days, they aim to get schools involved instead.
"We partner with schools so that the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes would be released by the community itself instead of scientists," he said, adding that eggs would be given to school children to be hatched and released as part of their science curriculum.
Prof O'Neill admitted that it would take years before a global program would become a reality, but he could see light at the end of the tunnel. "I think the issue of dengue will get worse before it gets better, but there is cause for optimism in the future," he said.

Een kunsthars is een synthetische stof die dezelfde kenmerken heeft als een natuurlijke hars: het is gietbaar, zacht maar goed hechtend. Kunstharsen zijn vaak thermoplastisch, licht vervormbaar en meestal goed isolerend. Ze worden gebruikt als isolatiemateriaal, en, sinds de productie van kunstharsen flink gestegen is, ook als bouwstof. De eerste en bekendste kunsthars was bakeliet, een fenolhars. Andere kunstharssoorten zijn alkydhars, polyurethaanhars en epoxyhars.

Natuurlijke harsen komen met name voor in bomen, en hebben als functie het dichten van beschadigingen van de bast. Natuurlijke harsen worden onder invloed van zuurstof hard, bij de kunstharsen bepaalt de temperatuur vaak de fase van de stof.

All the hoopla about the tax law signed by President Trump can obscure a sneaky little secret: The rules pertaining to the 2017 tax return you're working on now are almost exactly the same as they were before Congress gave us the biggest tax overhaul in more than 30 years. Although 41% of respondents to a recent poll thought otherwise, almost all of the changes, including reduced tax rates, will apply for the first time to the return you file next spring.
On the bright side, that means the 2016 tax forms you filed last year can be a great guide for this year's journey. Study them carefully. Yes, the new tax law will allow 30 million or more taxpayers who have regularly itemized deductions to switch to the standard deduction next year. But, if you itemized in the past, you'll probably do so on your 2017 tax return, too.
One of the most valuable deductions for itemizers is the write-off for state and local taxes (SALT). And, one of the most controversial changes for 2018 is the $10,000 annual cap on SALT deductions. (The same dollar limit applies to both single and joint returns.) But, for your 2017 return, there is no limit. You can deduct all the state and local income tax you paid or, if it gives you a bigger break, your state and local sales taxes. You can also write off all the local property taxes you paid on any number of homes you own.
Congress specifically banned taxpayers from making an end run around the crackdown by prepaying 2018 state income taxes ahead of the January 1 change in the rules. But the lawmakers were silent about prepaying property taxes, sparking a rush in many high-tax jurisdictions to do just that. What if you are among the rush of homeowners who wrote checks in hopes of beating the deadline?
Maybe you win. Maybe you lose. The IRS announced in late December that such prepayments would be deductible on 2017 returns only if the 2018 taxes had been assessed. Taxpayers couldn't just estimate what they'd owe and write a check to the county treasury. Because jurisdictions handle assessments and billings differently, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to whether prepaid property taxes are deductible. If you prepaid, check with local authorities.
The seemingly savvy move of prepaying taxes to grab the deduction could backfire for some taxpayers if the extra write-off triggers the alternative minimum tax. The AMT bans the deduction of state and local taxes. And, note this: Although the new law specifically prohibits prepaying state income tax, that doesn't affect your right to deduct a fourth-quarter estimated state tax payment due in January. If you paid such a bill by December 31, write it off on your 2017 return.
At one point last fall, the House of Representatives voted to abolish the deduction for medical expenses. In the end, though, the new law actually sweetens this break, and does so retroactively. For 2017 and 2018, you can write off medical expenses to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. But note, the previous 10% threshold returns in 2019.
The cost of medical insurance, including Medicare premiums, counts toward this itemized deduction. If you're self-employed, as a consultant in your semi-retirement, for example, you may have a shot at an even better deal. As long as you are not eligible for medical coverage through a job–either your own or a spouse's–you can deduct the cost of medical insurance on the face of the Form 1040 even if you don't itemize. If you qualify, the full cost is deductible, with no 7.5%-of-AGI reduction.
Whether as an itemized deduction subject to the threshold or a self-employed write-off that's not, qualifying medical costs include part of what you paid for long-term-care insurance. The limits for deducting those premiums in 2017 are age 40 or younger, $410; age 41 to 50, $770; age 51 to 60, $1,530; age 61 to 70, $4,090; and age 71 and older, $5,110.
You may have heard that the new law scraps the deduction for alimony paid to a former spouse. That's true, but only for divorce decrees signed after the end of 2018. If you paid alimony in 2017, it's still deductible whether you itemize or not. And, the old rule that requires recipients to report alimony as taxable income is still on the books, too. Don't try to get a head start on this change by failing to report alimony on your 2017 return. Your ex still has to report your Social Security number on his or her Form 1040 so the IRS knows to look for a corresponding income amount on your return.
When Congress talks about abolishing the federal estate tax–and there was a lot of talk about that in 2017–a lot of people worry about what that would mean for a tax break tightly tied to death: the step-up in basis for inherited assets. Although the federal estate tax applies to the estates of only a tiny percentage of those who die each year, the step-up rule helps out everyone who inherits stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate or other assets.
Rather than abolish the estate tax, the new law basically doubles the estate-tax exemption, so even fewer estates will have to pay it. For those who die in 2018, just over $11 million can be passed to heirs tax-free ($22 million for couples). And, the lawmakers left the step-up rule unchanged.
Looking back to 2017, if you sold assets you had inherited, remember that the basis for figuring your gain or loss is the asset's value at the time your benefactor died. The tax on any appreciation up to that time is forgiven. Congress estimates that this break will save taxpayers about $35.6 billion this year. It's nice to know it will be around in the future, too.
The new tax law eliminates the safety net that used to let folks who converted traditional IRAs to Roth accounts change their mind. When you convert, you must pay tax on funds shifted to a Roth. (That's the price you pay so that Roth payouts will be tax-free.) But, if the account lost money, say, or you fell into a lower tax bracket, you had until October 15 of the following year to "recharacterize" the account by moving the money back to a traditional IRA. Doing so erased the tax bill on the conversion. You could then reconvert the funds later at a lower tax cost. Going forward, though, Roth conversions are irreversible. Although it was unclear at first, the IRS says folks who converted accounts in 2017 have one last chance to recharacterize.
If a do-over would be a profitable move, you have until October 15 to reverse the conversion. If you recharacterize before you file your 2017 return, you avoid the need to pay tax on the converted amount and retrieve it later with an amended return.
If your long-term capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at 0%, don't assume that means you don't have to report them to the IRS. For 2017, that glorious rate applies to qualifying investment income of taxpayers who find themselves in the 10% or 15% tax bracket, with taxable income up to $37,950 on single returns and $75,900 on joint returns. But you have to report the income on your tax return and it's included in the taxable income figure that determines if you qualify for this break. Report gains and dividends on the face of the Form 1040 and use the Schedule D worksheet to apply the 0% rate.
10% Tax Rate: Individual, $0 to $9,325; joint, $0 to $18,650.
15% Tax Rate: Individual, $9,326 to $37,950; joint, $18,651 to $75,900.

28% Tax Rate: Individual, $91,901 to the $191,650; joint, $153,101 to $233,350.
33% Tax Rate: Individual, $191,651 to $416,700; joint, $233,351 to $416,700.
35% Tax Rate: Individual, $416,701 to $418,400; joint, $416,701 to $470,700.

English National Ballet dazzles in beloved classics
Kevin Ng February 03, 2017 17:31
In mid-January, at the end of its winter season at the London Coliseum, the English National Ballet gave 15 performances of one of the jewels in its repertory – the 1971 production of the Romantic classic Giselle by Mary Skeaping.
This is an excellent textbook production with traditional choreography. It has restored Adolphe Adam's musical score to its original length at the ballet's 1841 premiere.
Particularly pleasing is an additional duet for the two leads at the end of Act 1. David Walker's designs are lavish.
This classic is about an innocent peasant girl, Giselle, who loves dancing. Albrecht is a noble prince who disguises himself as a villager to seduce her.
After learning that Albrecht is betrothed to another, Giselle becomes mad and dies.
However, as a spirit, she protects him from the Wilis, supernatural beings who would have driven him to death.
The company fielded five casts, a sumptuous treat for London balletomanes.
I saw three casts. The best in the title role was undoubtedly Alina Cojocaru, a former top star of London's Royal Ballet who unexpectedly joined this company in 2013.
Her performance was rich in detail. As the innocent Giselle, she was most convincing in conveying the frailty of the peasant girl.
As the wili, she was spiritually pure. She was dazzling in her solo of tiny beats.
Her partner, Isaac Hernández, made less impact as Albrecht.
Another cast saw an exciting debut as Albrecht by Cesar Corrales, a hugely talented Cuban soloist of the company who is just over 20.
His technique was sensational. His acting was pretty good too for a debut.
In another cast the ballerina role was quite impressively danced by Laurretta Summerscales, a newly promoted principal of the company.
She was partnered by Xander Parish, an English soloist of Russia's Mariinsky Ballet. Parish's acting was more impressive than his technical virtuosity.
Among the supporting performances, Summerscales was dazzling as Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis. The corps de ballet was strong, though slightly lacking in uniformity.
During the Christmas season, many ballet companies worldwide performed The Nutcracker, and the English National Ballet was no exception.
Its current production of this classic is by its former artistic director Wayne Eagling.
In this 2010 version, Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy are danced by the same ballerina, making the ballerina role more rewarding.
Act 2 is turned into a puppet theater, instead of the usual Kingdom of the Sweets.
The main innovation is that Clara dreams of herself not only in the battle between the rats and the Nutcracker, but also of becoming a princess in Act 2.
In Act 1 she is in love with the Nutcracker, and in Act 2 she falls in love with a prince.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy for children to follow the complicated scenario.
Peter Farmer's designs, set in Edwardian London, are beautiful. There are nice touches like skating on ice.
Crystal Costa, a former principal of the Hong Kong Ballet, performed the ballerina role in Nutcracker.
The English National Ballet has become more prominent since Tamara Rojo, another former Royal Ballet star, became the artistic director in 2012.
The programmes have become more diverse, raising the company's profile in the ballet world.

MBARI (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) has recently selected a MacArtney MERMAC SC mooring winch solution to empower the deployment and recovery of scientific moorings onboard MBARI vessels R/V Western Flyer and the R/V Rachel Carson.
The new mooring winch represents the second MacArtney winch system in operation with MBARI, adding to a MacArtney ROV and AUV tether management winch system in operation on R/V Rachel Carson.
MBARI was founded in 1987 by David Packard and is located in Moss Landing, California, where its research ships and remotely operated vehicles are berthed with immediate access to Monterey Bay.
As a private, non-profit research center, MBARI is funded by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation and employs approximately 220 scientists, engineers, operations and administrative staff. MBARI ocean scientists propose and execute innovative studies, both experimental and theoretical - while engineers and operations staff develop and adapt supporting technology.
Monterey Bay is one of the most biologically diverse bodies of waters in the world, and the underlying submarine canyon is one of the deepest along the continental United States. This environment allows scientists to perform a multitude of studies which are relevant to the bulk of theworlds marine environments.
The new MacArtney MERMAC Mooring Winch is designed as a powerful self contained steel construction with protection frame, replaceable drum, level wind, gear box, electric motor and remote control.
Installed onboard MBARI scientific vessels, the winch will be used to effectively deploy and recover scientific moorings - offering a significant upgrade in terms of speed and performance when compared to the current system.

Gift Guides, Day 12: For the Future Iron Chef Contestant
There are those of us who learned to cook in quarantine, and then there are those who took quarantine as an excuse to tackle multi-step, technically difficult, beautifully plated three-course meals every night. Whichever camp your giftee falls into, a sharp new set of knives will help make even the most mundane mise-en-place feel like an episode of Iron Chef America: Pandemic.
Photography by Ryan Barayuga
For the Home Chef: Wüsthof Classic Six-Piece Knife Set
What it is: The Wüsthof Classic Six-Piece Knife Set is an upgrade to whatever your gift recipient had before, without feeling like the knives are too fancy for everyday use. Your gift includes a 3 ½" paring knife, a 8" bread knife, and 8" cook's knife. And while the knives are the highlight of the set, the gift also includes honing steel (to keep those knives sharp), come-apart kitchen shears (which come in handy way more often than you might think), and countertop-worthy knife block to store them all in.
Why we love it for gifting: There's a reason knife sets are a staple on every wedding registry ever: they're a complete necessity for any kitchen. We love that the Six-Piece Knife Set has the basics that any home chef needs—paring, bread, and cook's knives. And while Wüsthof has several lines of knives, each with different features, the Classic line is one of their best-selling series as well as being their oldest. It's got the widest range of products, offering over 70 different blade shapes. Think of this six-piece set as a starter kit, with room to grow to fill the rest of the 15 knife block slots over time, based on whatever your recipient finds their kitchen needs the most.
Wüsthof also has a reputation as being true experts in the kitchen knife field. We did a little research on the brand as we were building this gift guide, and we love that they're over 200 years old and still family-owned and operated. To us, that speaks to the quality of the blades and the passion behind the brand. Plus, their knives are made in Solingen, Germany, which is apparently known globally as the City of Blades—doesn't get much more hardcore than that. Suffice to say, these blades aren't going to snap in half at the hand of a particularly tough spaghetti squash.
Finally, we have a hunch that we're going to be cooking more than ever this winter, and a good set of knives is going to make any kitchen task much more manageable, no matter the chef's skill level. Not only are these knives a chef-quality kitchen tool, but they're also going to bring us together to bond over cooking, eating, and community—a shared household activity that'll spark a little joy over the holidays and beyond.
Who we're giving this to: The couple who's had to postpone their wedding and who maaaay be arguing over kitchen duties a little bit more than usual. With this Six-Piece Classic Knife Set from Wüsthof, we predict some good-natured domestic spats over who gets to use the fancy knives to do all the recipe prep—and who's stuck with clean-up afterwards.

Baxter, Lucy (2001) Manufacturing consent or playing the game : an analysis of gender power relations in two sport related organisations. Doctoral thesis, Northumbria University.
The goal of this study is to examine the dynamics under-pinning the reproduction or transformation of gender power relations within two sport organisations. Across society we have images of women making ground and experiencing far greater prospects than ever before. Yet, on the other hand, this is bound up with continuous examples of little progress in work. For instance, while there are more opportunities for women across work than at any other point in the 20th Century, they continue to be segregated from men in a large number of jobs. Similar gendered patterns of progress are reflected in sport. There are now far more female participants in sport, however they remain concentrated in 'appropriate' sports which reflect historical images of femininity. Broadly, sport and work also dictate stereotypical images for male participants. While broad levels of change are occurring across society, central to this thesis is whether dominant patterns of gender relations are transformed or reproduced at the micro level of sport- related work. Critically sport organisations are selected because sport's history continues to demonstrate patterns of male dominance. Secondly, the growth of sport provision has occurred in a service area, an arena traditionally dominated by women workers. Finally, sport is one of the few sectors which traverses both the public and private industries, providing the basis for a comparative study. Therefore, employment within sport provides an opportunity to examine the ways in which gender power relations are challenged or reproduced when two diverse sets of relations meet. The theoretical framework draws heavily from feminist theory, particularly radical, socialist feminist and post-structuralism. A qualitative research strategy provides the framework for a comparative case study methodology. Seventy-five interviews were conducted across the two case study organisations, which are located in the North. Past Times is a contracted out leisure centre and Sporting Goods a privately owned sports clothing and equipment firm. Both companies are in the service industry but come from two diverse backgrounds. Sporting Goods developed from a manufacturing heritage and Past Times is breaking away from direct local authority control as a result of CCT. At the time of the research both establishments were experiencing high levels of organisational change. While Past Times breaks with tradition in having a female manager and Sporting Goods contrasts with a traditional management structure, hegemonic masculinity dominated across both organisations. Overall gender power relations were reproduced through day-to-day practices that appeal to, and perpetuate, common sense understandings of men and women's roles at work. The sport environment provided a critical site for the strengthening of homosocial relationships among men and enabled the identification of three interacting components of gender: bodies, identities and sexualities. These components together contribute to the ongoing construction of a logic of difference which is more highly defined in the sport environment.


I fear, it still wasn't as understandable as was needed.
If more replacements or deletions are needed, put more parenthesised groups to the pattern (and to the replacement as well $3 etc.).

Taking their name from a character in a John Milton masque, Comus is a folk rock band from Beckenham, UK that mixes elements of progressive rock with the influences of The Pentangle, Fairport Convention and other more traditional folk outfits. The band broke up shortly after releasing their first album, 'First Utterance' (1971), due to its failure commercially. Some of the original members later re-convened for their second album, 'To Keep From Crying' (1974). Once again commercial success eluded the group, and they disbanded.

It's important to reduce weight on a flat roof. If the weight continues to increase, it's going to cause the roof to cave in. There are many ways to reduce the weight and therefore you need to know about them.
Applying a self-leveling compound is a great solution when it comes to fixing a commercial flat roof. It will ensure that ponding water doesn't continue to occur. However, you have to be cautious not to add additional weight to the roof when you apply the compound. Following a few basic tips will help you to avoid issue.
Every time it rains, there will be added weight on the roof. This means that you need to address the drainage, otherwise the problem is going to happen time and again. Unfortunately, with a commercial flat roof, it is prone to ponding water. This is because the roof will continue to develop divots where water will collect.
You might want to use solar water pumps on the roof, at least temporarily, until you level out the roof. Using a leveling compound is going to be the more affordable option in comparison to changing the entire slope of the roof. This would require extensive construction, and it is likely not within your budget.
A common DIY approach to deal with the divots and low points within a flat roof is to use concrete. This will certainly level out the roof, but it's going to add a significant amount of weight. This is exactly what you want to avoid.
A good solution is to use a leveling compound that contains EPS as a filler. EPS is what's known as expanded polystyrene. It is a rigid, lightweight foam that is durable. There are many benefits to this, though perhaps the most important is that it reduces the weight that's added to the roof when a self-leveling compound is used.
EPS will allow you to level out the imperfections was in the roof, thus improving drainage. It will prevent ponding from occurring because there will be no place for the water to sit. You will also be able to use plenty of it throughout the square footage of the roof without having to worry about adding too much weight.
The goal is to minimize the amount of weight that you add to a flat roof. Water and other elements are going to add weight over time. This is why it's critical to use a self-leveling compound. However, you need to be sure that you don't add to the problem by using too much of the product.
Professional installation of the self-leveling compound will ensure that the issue is taken care of without adding any more weight to the commercial roof than absolutely necessary. Installers will know how to use the product. The added benefit is that it will reduce cost when there is no waste. This is always a good thing because you don't want to endure expensive repairs.
Commercial flat roofs are popular because of their cost. Although it's what's commonly used, it's up to you to do your due diligence regarding the condition of the roof over time. Too much weight is going to cause the roof to come crashing down at one point or another. A self-leveling compound is a good solution to fix the problem so you don't experience ponding water. By following recommendations on reducing the weight when installing the compound, you overcome problems that might otherwise occur.
Learn more about how to improve a flat commercial roof by contacting RoofSlope today. It will allow you to learn more about your options to fix your roof and reduce the likelihood of roof damage.

Stanley Hotel - Estes Park, CO (The Birth of Redrum)
333 E Wonderview Ave.
www.stanleyhotel.com
I have always had an immense love for horror movies. This love has fortunately been passed down to my daughter, who is equally an aficionado for the sinister cinema. My son, on the other hand, wants no part of anything remotely spooky! Sadly, most of the horror movies of today are not very good and if there happens to be a decent one, it is likely a remake of a classic. Personally, there are no better horror movies than those produced in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Sure, the special effects may not have always been the most realistic but I think that is what makes them so good. Nothing like the neon red blood used in George Romero's Dawn of the Dead or Dario Argento's Suspiria!
What many people may not realize is that there are quite a few fictitious horror movies that are not quite as fictitious as you might think. Many of the classics were at least inspired by some sort of real life events. For instance, Silence of the Lambs was inspired by the true life terror reigned by the Plainfield, Wisconsin serial killer and necrophiliac, Ed Gein. Additionally, while Tobe Hooper's classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was also loosely based on Gein, the whole premise of the character Leatherface is rather comical. During a busy holiday season, Hooper was standing in what seemed like an endless line of shoppers at a department store. As most of us in such a similar situation, Hooper became so aggravated with the crowds, he glanced over to the hardware department and noticed several chainsaws on display. In a moment of hidden rage, Hooper thought, "I bet I could really reduce these crowds with one of those chainsaws!" The rest is history and an instant classic was born for years to come and would ultimately be one of my all time favorites! However, nothing can top my all time favorite movie, the Stanley Kubrick's classic, The Shining.
As incredible as the 1980 film is, it is based on the 1977 novel written by none other than Stephen King. The story begins with a businessman by the name of Jack Torrance. Jack decides to take over
A true horror classic!
the caretaker duties of the Overlook Hotel during the winter months, which is set deep in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. He is soon told that the hotel was home to a horrible murder/suicide. Although briefly unnerved by the stories, he blows them off and brings in his wife, Wendy, and clairvoyant son, Danny. As Danny begins to get visions of the horrendous events that took place over the years, Jack literally takes on the persona of the hotel as well as the decades of murder and violence, ultimately going mad. Without spoiling any more of the book/film, in case you have lived under a rock for the last few decades and have never seen the film or read the book, I highly recommend doing both.
For the vast majority who are familiar with The Shining, a good bit of people are not aware that true events inspired Stephen King to write such a terrifying piece of paranormal prose. (say that five times fast!) After writing his previous classics Carrie and Salem's Lot, King was looking for a change of scenery to stir up his creative juices for another story. He would literally open up an atlas at his kitchen table and blindly point to a spot on the map. Whether it be by fate or pure chance, his finger landed on Boulder, Colorado. As he and his wife, Tabitha, visited the area, they soon ended up in the small town of Estes Park, about thirty minutes northwest of Boulder. Here, they would find a beautiful hotel known as The Stanley.
The history of The Stanley Hotel begins with the life of the man whom the hotel is named after. Freelan Oscar Stanley, along with his brother Francis Edgar, were owners of the Stanley Motor Carriage Company. The company was extremely successful and the two became quite wealthy from their creation. Bad luck would not spare the fortunate, as F.O. Stanley would contract the ever-so-common disease for the time, tuberculosis. As we have just learned with Waverly Hills Sanatorium, experimental treatments for the ravenous disease ranged from the mild to the deadly. However, good old fashion sunlight and fresh air proved to work wonders for TB. After some research, Stanley would discover that the small town of Estes Park had plenty of both. In June of 1903, he and his wife, Flora, would stay several months in Estes Park. For the next several years, Stanley would fluctuate residency between Estes Park and his hometown of Newton, Massachusetts. Mother Nature's prescription proved to be advantageous, as Stanley would miraculously recover from TB by 1907. Although cured, Stanley had fallen in love with the small town and would permanently move there.
Breathtaking view from the front porch.
Once settled in, Stanley and his wife decided to build a grand hotel to accommodate local and out of town socialites, especially those from Newton. He would purchase 160 acres of land from Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, the Earl of Dunraven. Here, Stanley would build the original 48-room hotel, which was completed in 1909. The hotel was quite lavished for the time as it featured a hydraulic elevator, dual electric and gas lighting, running water, a telephone in every guest room and a fleet of specially-designed Stanley "Model Z" Mountain Wagons to bring guests from the train depot twenty miles away!
Today, The Stanley has grown in size but is still known as one of the finest hotels in the country. Celebrities and other notable figures continue to stay at The Stanley, primarily in suite 217. Individuals such as Theodore Roosevelt, Titanic surviver Molly "Unsinkable" Brown and Jim Carey all stayed in Room 217. Carey stayed here during the filming of Dumb and Dumber and the hotel is featured several times throughout the film. Other celebrities that have rested their heads at The
View of Room 217.
Stanley are Johnny Cash, Wayne Newton, Tony Bennett, Rebecca DeMornay and Billy Graham. It is home to a wonderful restaurant and one of the largest whiskey bars in the United States. Just thought I had to throw that in there for you guys!
I have had the privilege to visit Estes Park several times and personally, it is one of the most beautiful towns I have ever been to. The peak season in the town is normally the spring, when large elk, mule deer and other wildlife roam the streets and the flora is in full bloom. Only about four to five miles from the entrance gate to the Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park brings in thousands of tourists during this peak season. Personally, I prefer the winter months here, as the crowds die down to a slow trickle and the winter is beautiful. Unfortunately, the elevation which is well over 8,000 ft above sea level is torturous for an old cajun like me who is used to altitudes of about 100 feet! I swear, when visiting, I get winded dialing long distance on a rotary phone! However, King and his wife thought along the same lines as myself, as they would visit Estes Park and The Stanley on October 30, 1974.

The off season proved to be just what the doctor ordered for King, as he and his wife were the only two occupants in the hotel. Other than a few staff, the Kings had the place to themselves. King would opt to stay in suite 217, yet would regularly roam the empty hallways and dine in the abandoned restaurant. As with many great novelists, King would often incorporate many of his own personal issues into his stories. While battling the onsets of alcoholism and the pent up anger of raising young children, King would also face his inner demons during his hotel stay. He would approach the empty bar and order a drink from the lone bartender, Grady (sound familiar?). As he slowly sipped his drink (perhaps, Bourbon on the rocks, as in the movie), he thought of ways to incorporate these issues into his new novel. As cabin fever began to set in, King would have a nightmare involving his young son who was attacked by the hotel itself, which had literally come to life. As he woke up shaking and in a cold sweat, King knew he had the starting point for one hell of a story!
The rest is history and the iconic Shining was created. For fanatics of the classic film, I regret to inform you that none of it was filmed at The Stanley. Exterior shots of the hotel were actually of the

Timberline Lodge, located at the base of Mount Hood in Oregon. The interior shots were filmed on a completely fabricated set built on a soundstage in Borhamwood, Hertfordshire, Britain. However, the layout was mimicked after the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. Still, in 1997, a miniseries titled The Shining featuring Rebecca DeMornay and Steven Weber was filmed at The Stanley.
Today, The Stanley is still a luxurious hotel and now brings in tons of paranormal enthusiasts. Not only for those enamored with the movie and novel, but for the years of haunted stories and experiences that have come out the grand hotel. According to The Stanley Hotel's website, there are several spirits that reside there:
-Lord Dunraven is said to resides in room 401.
-Spirits of young children play along the 4th floor hallways.
-Mr. Stanley appears in the bar and in the main lobby.
-Mrs. Stanley has been seen playing the piano in the Music Room.
-Maid Elizabeth Wilson has been seen cleaning Room 217.
-Homeless woman haunts the Concert Hall keeping guard.
In March of 2009, I was fortunate enough to spend the night at The Stanley. Although it was considered the off season, I wasn't lucky enough to have the hotel completely to myself. Still, it was empty enough where I was able to request a room on the fourth floor, which is said to be the most active. For the life of me, I cannot remember the exact room I was in but apparently it was considered to be one of the most active rooms because throughout the evening, I heard several haunted tours walk and stop in front of my room as they talked about the haunted tales. A very nice, yet unsettling, touch is that on one of the in-house television channels, The Shining is played in a continuous loop. Who needs twenty-four hours of A Christmas Story when you have The Shining 24/7/365! Unless spiders are involved, I am not one to be easily spooked but I must admit, there was something eerie about being alone for the night in a haunted hotel room with The Shining constantly playing. To make matters worse, the bathroom strongly resembled the one in Room 237 from the film. All I could picture throughout the night was that creepy naked old woman sitting in the tub! If you do not know what I am referring to, for the last time, please watch the film!
