Virgil Tibbs

November 21st, 2008

Virgil Tibbs is a fictional character who is one of the two leading male characters in John Ball’s 1965 novel In the Heat of the Night. He is also the protagonist in six sequels to that novel, the Oscar-winning 1967 film of the same name based on the original novel, the sequel films They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970) and The Organization (1971), and the subsequent 1988 television series derived from the film.

Virgil Tibbs is an African American police detective who is detained on suspicion of murder solely on the basis of his skin color while passing through the small town of Wells, somewhere in the Carolinas (Sparta, Mississippi in the film). When Tibbs’ innocence and status as a homicide investigator is confirmed, political pressure in the town leads to his temporary assignment to aid the Wells(Sparta) police on the case - despite the reluctance of the town’s racist chief of police, Bill Gillespie. Tibbs is a diligent, hard working detective who does not accept the racism of his new surroundings. When his erstwhile supervisor, Chief Gillespie, remarks that “Virgil is a pretty fancy name for a black boy like you”, and asks what people call him at home, Tibbs is quick to respond, “They call me Mister Tibbs.”

The Tibbs character and his famous quote were both ranked in the AFI 100 Years… series. The Tibbs character was ranked as the 19th greatest hero in the history of American cinema whilst his famous quote was ranked as the 16th greatest quote.

In the novels, Tibbs works for the police force of Pasadena, California. In the films, portrayed by Sidney Poitier, he first works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but in later sequels, he is shown to be working for the San Francisco Police. In an unusual step, the Tibbs films are themselves mentioned in the sequel novels: when asked about the movies, Tibbs emphasizes that he’s from Pasadena, not Philadelphia. He also comments positively on Poitier’s looks and acting ability.

In the novels, Tibbs returns to Pasadena as a police officer. In the films, Tibbs also returns to his law enforcement career, in Philadelphia and subsequently in San Francisco. In the television series, set a few years after the first film, Tibbs returns to Sparta where he becomes the Chief of Detectives under Gillespie.

Tibbs has a black belt in karate, is highly observant, and like many fictional detectives is something of a polymath: he has an extensive depth and breadth of knowledge in many fields of the arts, sciences, and modern culture. His general demeanor is somewhat cold, and highly intellectual. He is tolerant of non-criminal behaviors outside of the social mainstream, such as nudism.

Tibbs is uninterested in glory or media attention. He is a perfectionist, and his sole motivation is duty and justice. In the films, Tibbs displays a considerably larger degree of anger over issues of race than in the books. For example, in the novel They Call Me Mr. Tibbs it is a statement ending in a period, while in the movie, it’s an angry exclamation.

Physically, Tibbs is slender, quick, strong, and handsome. His nose is relatively narrow, and his mouth is “straight and determined”. His skin tone is neither exceptionally light nor dark.

Tibbs has several romantic liaisons in the novels. In the first film, Tibbs is not married, although the second and third films he was depicted as having a wife (played by Barbara McNair) and two children. In the television series, he is married, and eventually he and his wife had twins.

His famous line is spoofed in The Lion King by the warthog Pumba. When he is called a pig, he responds “They call me Mr. Pig!”

A presidential election was held in Cyprus on 17 February 2008, with the second round held on 24 February 2008. The second-round winner, and thus the President of Cyprus for the next term, is Dimitris Christofias.

The first round, held on February 17, saw a close result between three leading candidates, Dimitris Christofias of AKEL, Ioannis Kasoulidis of DISY, and the incumbent Tassos Papadopoulos. Results showed Kasoulidis in first place with about 33.51%, Christofias in second with 33.29%, and Papadopoulos in third with 31.79%. Christophias and Kasoulidis therefore participated in a second round on February 24. The elimination of Papadopoulos in the first round was viewed as surprising.

In the second round, Christofias won with 53.37% against 46.63% for Kasoulides. He was sworn in as President on February 28.

According to the exit-polls, Papadopoulos was voted by 40% of “No” voters in the Annan referendum and 5% of the “Yes”. Christofias by 35% of the “No” and 34% of the “Yes” voters and Kasoulidis by the 24% of the “No” and 62% of the “Yes” voters.

Announcement of candidates and first round supports

Papadopoulos (DIKO) announced in late July that he would run for re-election. In early July 2007, the ruling coalition (consisting of DIKO, AKEL and EDEK) fell apart due to a lack of consensus on a common candidate for the presidential elections; AKEL general secretary Dimitris Christofias was proposed as a common candidate by AKEL, but rejected by DIKO and EDEK (who both will support Papadopoulos’ bid for reelection), which AKEL took as a reason to leave the ruling coalition. Thus both Papadopoulos and Christophias contested the election.

Furthermore, the Democratic Rally support MEP Ioannis Kasoulidis, a former foreign minister, and Kostas Themistokleous, a former minister of agriculture and environment, also contested the election.

Controversial MEP Marios Matsakis announced on 29 December 2007 that he would contest the election. Marios Matsakis was elected two times as a member of the Cypriot parliament and once as member of the ?uropean Parliament with the support of DIKO.

The Secretariat of the Movement of the United Democrats initially considered to support Themistokleous but at the end they supported Christophias to minimize the possibility of Papadopoulos’ re-election..

The Ecological and Environmental Movement (KOP) decided on November 18, 2007 to support Papadopoulos. The movement supported him in 2003 as well.

Second round supports

After the first round of the election and the elimination of Papadopoulos, the latter’s party, DIKO, announced its support for Christofias although Papadopoulos himself stayed neutral. Christofias had offered three ministerial positions to DIKO, including that of Minister of Foreign Affairs, in addition to the post of President of the House of Representatives, while Kasoulides had offered five ministerial positions in exchange for DIKO’s support. EDEK also backed Christofias, on the proposal of its Political Bureau, with 109 members of its Central Committee voting in favor of supporting Christofias, five voting against, and two abstaining. The Cypriot Orthodox Church leader Archbishop Chrysostomos II backed Kasoulidis.

Ecological and Environmental Movement on 21 February 2008 decided to support Dimitris Christofias.

Evroko, ADIK and Marios Matsakis announced that they will support neither of the two candidates.

Kostas Themistokleous backed Ioannis Kasoulidis.

Candidates

Nine candidates were approved to participate in the elections. Each candidate had to be recommended by one Cypriot citizen and supported by eight more.

The names of the candidates announced on 18 January 2008 were:

  • Tassos Papadopoulos, supported by DIKO, EDEK, Evroko, ADIK, KOP
  • Dimitris Christofias, supported by AKEL, United Democrats
  • Ioannis Kasoulidis, supported by DISY, Kinima Eleftheron Politon, Evropaiki Dimokratia, Laiko Sosialistiko Kinima
  • Kostas Themistokleous
  • Marios Matsakis
  • Andreas Efstratiou
  • Anastasis Michael
  • Christodoulos Neophytou
  • Kostas Kyriacou (Outopos)

Debates

On 26 January 2008 the three main candidates, Papadopoulos, Christofias, and Kasoulidis, debated on television. The debate was transmitted by all Cypriot TV stations. The three candidates were questioned by journalists from RIK, MEGA, ANT1, Sigma TV and CNC Plus TV. The debate started at 9.45PM local time and lasted 1 hour and 50 minutes. Each candidate had three minutes to answer each question and 1.5 minute for every follow-up question. The procedure was divided in 6 sections and, at the end of each section, each candidate had 3 minutes to give a short speech and 1.5 minute for a short comment.

On 14 February, a second debate was held. The subject of discussion was the Cyprus dispute.

Moonshine Kate

November 21st, 2008

Moonshine Kate (b. Rosa Lee Carson, Oct. 10, 1909 - d. 1992, Bainbridge, Georgia) was an American country banjoist, guitarist and singer. She was one of the earliest women to record country music, first appearing on record in the 1920s with her father Fiddlin’ John Carson.

Kate was the ninth and last child born to Jenny Nora Scroggins and John Carson. She began appearing with her father at dances and political gatherings at the age of five, and could play guitar and banjo by fourteen. She toured with her father’s band, the Virginia Reelers, in the Southeast United States, and performed on Atlanta radio station WSB.

Her first record was cut in 1925 at age fifteen, accompanying her father on two Okeh Records releases. She also recorded two solo songs, “The Lone Child” and “Little Mary Phagan”, the last written by her father about Leo Frank. She played and recorded with the Virginia Reelers until 1934, adopting the stage name Moonshine Kate in 1928 at the suggestion of Okeh Records man Polk Brockman. Many of Kate’s recordings for Okeh play up her name, consisting of short musical passages interspersed with quick-witted dialogues revolving around the moonshine trade.

The Great Depression ended the Carsons’ recording days, and she continued to perform intermittently, also working with Eugene Talmadge on his 1932 bid for Governor of Georgia and for the Atlanta Department of Recreation. She married in 1944 and retired in Georgia. In 1983, both she and her father were inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame.

Pecsaetan

November 20th, 2008


Anglo-Saxon king with his witan (11th century)

The Pecsaetan, peaklanders or peakrills were an Anglo Saxon tribe who inhabited the central and northern parts of the Peak District area in England. It is very likely that they were descended from a southern clan of the Brigantes, a Celtic tribe. They probably evolved into the Pecsaetan Anglo-Saxon tribe, through contact with English speaking settlers from further east. The very early Derbyshire settlements, in what is now known as the Peak District, were those of the West Angles. This tribe advanced up the valleys of the rivers Derwent and Dove during their northern conquests in the 6th century. They became known locally as the Pecsaetan . Later their territory formed the northern division of Mercia, and in 848 the Mercian Witenagemot assembled at Repton .

Nomenclature

Though the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article refers to the Pecsaetan, the more widely accepted terminology seems to be Pecsætna, as referred to in the British Library, MS Harley 3271, f. 6v document of the 7th century Tribal Hidage .

Henry Spelman’s Archæologus in modum Glosarii ad rem antiquam posteriorem, which was published in London in 1626 cites the Pec-setna.
