Chronicle Tribune Globe Inquirer The Globe for sure!! 9 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THE GOLBE Answer: The Boston Globe is the oldest and largest daily newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts. The newspaper has won a total of 26 Pulitzer Prizes, and is the 25th most read newspaper in the United States. After being privately held until 1973, it was sold to The New York Times in 1993 for $1.1 billion, making it one of the most expensive print purchases in U.S. history. Historically, the newspaper has been noted as "one of the nation’s most prestigious papers," and was purchased in 2013 by Boston Red Sox owner John W. Henry for $70 million.

"Little Orphan Annie" is catchy and easy to say, but that's not how the character ended up with the name. The musical "Annie" was based on the comic strip "Little Orphan Annie," which itself was based on a poem called "The Elf Child." When the poem underwent a third printing, the man who wrote it changed its name to "Little Orphant Allie," as a tribute to Mary Alice "Allie" Smith, who was the inspiration for the poem; she was a neighbor girl who was orphaned during the Civil War and who used to tell the poet and his siblings stories. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: How Did the Creators Deal With "Annie" and Her Friends Constantly Growing Up? One of the problems that the musical's creators had to deal with was the unstoppable growth of their stars. The actresses who played Annie and the other girls had to be replaced every few years because of unpredictable appearance changes; for example, when Sarah Jessica Parker played Annie in 1979 and 1980, she had to leave after growing six inches. The answer was to constantly hold auditions each year—about six rounds—to ensure a steady supply of age- and height-appropriate Annies and orphans. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Composer Charles Strouse Wrote What Annie Song As a Way to Kill Time During a Set Change? Perhaps the most famous song in Annie is "Tomorrow." But the guy who wrote it, composer Charles Strause, had no idea it was going to be a hit. In fact, at first, it wasn't even part of the show. But the production had a big set change and they needed to buy some time to actually make the transition. So Strause wrote a little number to kill a few minutes. "I well remember the first night 'Tomorrow' was in the show," said Strouse. "It got all this applause. I thought everybody was clapping for the set change." 19 hours ago, phkrause said: What Event Caused the 2014 Version of Annie to Be Leaked Online Before It Hit Theaters? In time for Christmas 2014, Hollywood came out with another telling of the Annie story, this time focused around Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Quvenzhané Wallis. But actually, the movie came out a few weeks earlier as it was one of the films illegally uploaded to the internet after the famed Sony hacks connected to James Franco's and Seth Rogen's film The Interview. However, most argue that the hacks didn't do a ton to damage the film's earning potential. After all, the demographic of people who watch pirated movies isn't exactly the demographic of people who watch Annie.

If our sun suddenly shut down, we would not know about it for approximately eight minutes. The sun we look at is actually the sun as it was some eight minutes ago. This is because the light shining from the sun, traveling at about 186,000 miles a second, takes 500 seconds to travel across the millions of miles of space that separate us from the sun. The sunlight will sweep past Mercury in 3.22 minutes, Venus in 6.01 minutes, and reach Earth 8.32 minutes later. Neptune, the most distant planet, takes 4.16 hours for light to reach.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Recycle, Return, and Relocate Refuse, Refrain, and Redeem Remix, Reinvent, and Redistribute 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: "REDUCE,REUSE,RECYCLE' Answer: The three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away. The concept of reducing what is produced and what is consumed is essential to the waste hierarchy. Learning to reuse items, or re-purpose them for a use different then what they are intended for is essential in waste hierarchy. The last stage of the waste hierarchy is to recycle. To recycle something means that it will be transformed again into a raw material that can be shaped into a new item. The goal of the three R’s is to prevent waste and conserve natural resources.

Avon L'Oréal Maybelline Revlon Avon?? 22 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: AVON Answer: William Shakespeare, also known as the "Bard of Avon," is considered the greatest dramatist of all time. Though no birth records exist, it is believed that William Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. During a visit to England, David McConnell, a 28 year old door-to-door bookseller was struck by the beauty of the countryside surrounding Stratford-on-Avon, and introduced a product line called Avon comprising a toothbrush, talcum powder, and vanity set. In 1939, the company’s name was changed to Avon Products Inc. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Plano San Antonio Amarillo El Paso 22 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: AMARILLO Answer: Amarillo is the 14th-most populous city in the state of Texas, in the United States. It is also the largest city in the Texas Panhandle. The town was first named "Oneida,” but soon changed to Amarillo, meaning "yellow” in Spanish for the color of the soil on the nearby banks of Amarillo Creek and the abundant yellow wildflowers during the spring and the summer. Most of the town's first houses were painted yellow in commemoration of the name change. The city is also known as "The Yellow Rose of Texas".
