Shakespeare Weekend

The Pictorial Edition of the Works of Shakspere edited and published by Charles Knight (1797-1873) out of London in 1839 was originally issued in fifty-six monthly parts before being bound in an eight-volume set. Like earlier Shakespeare editors, Knight felt all previous editions of Shakespeare collections had been compiled by men who “had corrupted his text, and had never rightly appreciated his consummate art.” As an experienced publisher of encyclopedias and miscellanies, he set out to “humbly” correct their errors with an ambitiously illustrated collection.  

The wood engravings place Shakespeare’s characters and events within a historical context opposed to a theatrical one and are elucidated in subsidiary segments interspersed throughout the plays’ acts. Volume One of Knight’s collection includes Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Comedy of Errors, Taming of the Shrew, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Most illustrations within the collection are unsigned, but British wood engravers John Jackson (1801-1848) and William Harvey (1796-1866) along with British painter G.F. Sargent are featured prominently among the titlepage and larger illustrations.

Patriot Day

Honor those who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks, as well as those who risked their lives to save others, on the ground in New York and on United 93.

Patriot Day falls on 11th September (also commonly known as ‘Nine-Eleven’) and is remembered globally as the anniversary of the catastrophic terrorist attacks on the USA of 11th September 2001.

Learn about Patriot Day

Embedded in the memories of everyone who lived through it, this was the day four jet planes were hijacked and crashed into the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, causing the deaths of 2,977 people. The fourth plane (United Airlines Flight 93) was directed at Washington DC, but its passengers bravely attempted to take back control and it crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The large majority of those lost after the attacks on the Twin Towers were working at or above the points of collision; thousands of people who had gone to work that morning like every other day, found themselves suddenly stranded at the top of a burning skyscraper. A number made the choice to jump from the flaming buildings rather than wait to be caught by the flames or for the building to collapse. No one could forget the terrifying and heartbreaking stories and images captured by the news footage of the day.

In the wake of the World Trade Center collisions, many brave men and women from the emergency services risked their lives to try to help rescue victims of the attacks, and of them 411 lost their own lives attempting to fight fires and rescue people.

History of Patriot Day

Patriot Day is recognized by US law as the official day of remembrance for these tragic events, and has been observed every year since. Each year on this day, American flags are flown at half-staff to honour and commemorate those lives lost. The US President asks fellow Americans to observe a moment of silence at 8.46am (Eastern Daylight Time), the time of the first plane collision into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

While the events took place within the USA, the shock and grief experienced in response to the attacks was shared across the globe, and for this reason Patriot Day will be observed not only in America, but all over the world.

How to observe Patriot Day

There are a number of ways that you can observe Patriot Day. One way is by paying honor to those who were on the ground on September 11th, as well as those that lost their lives. There are a number of different ways that you can do this. Thanks to the Internet, we are able to reach out to people that we never would have been able to, and so you can always post a message on social media.

If you don’t know much about the attacks because you were too young at the time, it is a good idea to spend some time doing a bit of research about the occasion. On this date, four airliners carrying passengers, which were bound for California from northeastern airports in the United States, were hijacked by terrorists of al-Qaeda (19 in total).

Two of the planes crashed into the North and South twin towers of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. This was United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11. Both of the 110 story towers collapsed within an hour and 42 minutes. All of the other buildings in the World Trade Center complex collapsed either partially or completely because of the resulting fires and debris.

The third plane crashed into the Pentagon. This was American Airlines Flight 77. This resulted in the west side of the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense collapsing partially. The fourth plane was flown in the direction of Washington D.C. This was United Airlines Flight 93. However, passengers thwarted the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, potentially saving many lives. 

There is a great film that focuses on the fourth flight – United Airlines Flight 93. The film is called United 93, and it was released in 2006. The film aims to take you through the events of what happened on the plane, focusing on the passengers responding to the hijackers in order to direct the plane away from Washington D.C. The film received critical acclaim, winning a number of awards.

The film is a great watch. It shows how the passengers came together to revolt against the hijackers, despite knowing that their lives were at very high risk. While they ultimately lost their lives in the end, they stopped the terrorists from reaching their intended target, saving many more lives in the process. 

It is also a good idea to use this day to pay honor to the people who died on the 11th of September. This not only includes those on board the aircrafts, but those who died as a consequence of the collapsing buildings and the brave men and women who risked their lives to try and help those in danger. In total, 2,977 victims died on this day, with there being more than 6,000 injuries. Most of the people who died were civilians. However, there were also 71 law enforcement officers who died and 343 firefighters. Why not spend some time reading up on them to show that we will never forget!

TMNT: Mutant Mayhem by John Jackson

John Jackson - Portrait of the Artist

[tastethebloodofmeatthawsmoth]

Liner notes from one of John Jackson's Arhoolie albums. Jackson was a Black musician from Virginia who played blues and gospel, but also what most of us would today think of as country music.

His name was Morris Slater, but he was better known as “Railroad Bill.” That’s the kind of name about which they write ballads, the kind of name that starts incredible stories: “Did you hear about Railroad Bill?” That was true for Slater, too. But his legacy as “an outlaw,” that infamous figure who ran up and down the American timeline, is a complex one. Railroad Bill differed from other outlaws because he was Black, and his race—and perceptions of it—intersected with a volatile time in US history. As historian Burgin Mathews explains, Railroad Bill represented a “powerful individual threat to white authority.”

But let’s go back. The legend started somewhere, and for Railroad Bill it began in Alabama around 1893. Slater, as he was still known, was a turpentine still worker. As the story goes, one day he strolled into town with a rifle. He was approached by a policeman and asked to turn over his gun. The request, according to some versions of the story, came because Slater had refused to pay taxes on the gun. There was a struggle. Bullets flew. Slater shot the officer, then fled, escaping either to the swamps or by hopping on a passing freight train. From that day on, he’d be known as Railroad Bill.

As folklorist John W. Roberts explains, the legend of Railroad Bill had all the hallmarks of a classic outlaw/folk hero. The American outlaw is, “seen as a man of the people,” Roberts writes. “Much of his reputation is based on the perception of the outlaw as one who rights wrongs.”

When Bill hopped onto that train and into the folk imagination, Black folklore often portrayed him in such a light. He robbed trains throughout the state, having shootouts and evading capture, and not only did he sell the stolen goods to poor Black people at prices lower than company stores, his acts, though not condoned, were seen as “defiance against the white system and celebration of his ‘badness,’” Roberts writes.

Bill always stayed one step ahead of the police, and these weren’t the times for a Black person to outwit white authority. This was during Reconstruction, and Alabama, like all of the South, “struggled to adjust to a new racial as well as economic order,” according to Mathews. Bill’s crimes only deepened the belief that newly-emancipated Black Americans needed to be controlled. Because of this, the hunt for Railroad Bill extended far past the outlaw himself.

[for more about the ballad “Railroad Bill”, see here]

Newspapers of the time peppered stories of his exploits with slurs and other dehumanizing language, “his color merging with an almost inhuman evil,” Mathews explains. Some reports went as far as to suggest that Bill could change into an animal, and that’s why he was so difficult to catch. This would only intensify on July 3, 1895, when Bill killed a sheriff in a shootout. He, once again, escaped capture. From this point, Mathews asserts, “the legend of Railroad Bill became a stage on which the white South enacted its bloody drama of race, identity, and power.”

With an ever-increasing award for his capture, no Black person was safe. Men and women across southern Alabama and Florida were arrested: because they were suspected of being Bill or of harboring him, or because someone believed that they had information about him. One man was arrested several times on suspicion of being Bill, and several others were shot because they supposedly matched Bill’s description. As one newspaper reported, “The number of negroes who were killed under the impression that they were Slater will never be known.”

One of the few actors I've seen go out of their way to credit their stunt actors by name in an interview is Keanu Reeves, who makes sure that Jackson Spidell gets his stars whenever he does press.

Thing is, Keanu does all his own action. But Chad does all his stunts. And when Keanu was asked to explain the difference, he was like, "oh, I'll fight ten guys and pretend to shoot a gun and run around and do some acting... And then Jack will get by a car. And then I'll stand up, and do some running and shooting, and then Jack will jump off of a building. And then I'll get up and do some more running."

Funniest way to break down action and stunts, and also really cool to actually credit his stuntman that's been bringing the character to life alongside him.
