American film star Bette Davis (1908-1989) was one of the greatest actors in world cinema history. She dared to play unsympathetic, sardonic characters and was reputed for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies. Her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.
After appearing in Broadway plays, Davis moved to Hollywood in 1930. Her early films for Universal were unsuccessful or she only had a small role, such as in James Whale's Waterloo Bridge (1931). Davis was preparing to return to New York when actor George Arliss chose Davis for the female lead in the Warner Brothers picture The Man Who Played God (John G. Adolfi, 1932), which would be her 'break' in Hollywood. Warner Bros. signed her a five-year contract. The role of the vicious and slatternly Mildred Rogers inOf Human Bondage (John Cromwell, 1934) earned Davis her first major critical acclaim. She established her career with several other critically acclaimed performances. For her role as a troubled actress in Dangerous (Alfred E. Green, 1935), she won her first Oscar. In 1937, she attempted to free herself from her contract and although she lost a well-publicized legal case, it marked the beginning of the most successful period of her career. In Marked Woman (Lloyd Bacon, 1937), she played a prostitute in a contemporary gangster drama inspired by the case of Lucky Luciano. For her role she was awarded the Volpi Cup at the 1937 Venice Film Festival. Her next picture was Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938), and during production Davis entered a relationship with director William Wyler. The film was a success, and Davis' performance as a spoiled Southern belle earned her a second Academy Award. Dark Victory (Edmund Goulding, 1939) became one of the highest grossing films of the year, and the role of Judith Traherne brought her an Academy Award nomination. The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (Michael Curtiz, 1939) with Errol Flynn, was her first colour film. To play the elderly Elizabeth I of England, Davis shaved her hairline and eyebrows. Davis was now Warner Bros.' most profitable star, and she was given the most important of their female leading roles. Her image was considered with care; she was often filmed in close-ups that emphasized her distinctive eyes.
Until the late 1940s, Bette Davis was one of American cinema's most celebrated leading ladies, known for her forceful and intense style. Davis gained a reputation as a perfectionist who could be highly combative, and confrontations with studio executives, film directors and co-stars were often reported. After The Letter (William Wyler, 1940), William Wyler directed Davis for the third time in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes (1941), but they clashed over the character of Regina Giddens. Taking a role originally played on stage by Tallulah Bankhead, Davis felt Bankhead's original interpretation was appropriate and followed Hellman's intent, but Wyler wanted her to soften the character. Davis refused to compromise. Her forthright manner, clipped vocal style and ubiquitous cigarette contributed to a public persona which has often been imitated and satirized. In 1941, she became the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a year later, she was the co-founder of the Hollywood Canteen. Her best films include the women's picture Now Voyager (Irving Rapper, 1942) and Watch on the Rhine (Herman Shumlin, 1943). In 1947, at the age of 39, Davis gave birth to a daughter, Barbara Davis Sherry (known as B.D.) At the end of the 1940s, her box office appeal had noticeably dropped and she was labelled 'Box Office Poison'. Then producer Darryl F. Zanuck offered her the role of the aging theatrical actress Margo Channing in All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950). During production, she had a romantic relationship with her leading man, Gary Merrill, which led to marriage. Her career went through several of such periods of eclipse, and she admitted that her success had often been at the expense of her personal relationships. Married four times, she was once widowed and thrice divorced, and raised her children as a single parent. Later successes include the Grand Guignol horror film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (Robert Aldrich, 1962) with Joan Crawford, and the follow-up Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (Robert Aldrich, 1964) with Olivia de Havilland. Her final years were marred by a long period of ill health, but she continued acting until shortly before her death from breast cancer, with more than 100 films, television and theatre roles to her credit. She was the first person to accrue 10 Academy Award nominations for acting, and in 1977, she was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. One of her last films was Lindsay Anderson's film The Whales of August (1987), in which she played the blind sister of Lillian Gish.

The Jefferson Davis Hotel is a historic commercial inn in Montgomery, Alabama. It was built in 1927 and served as a hotel for the longest time until it was recently turned into an apartment building for the elderly.
The Jefferson Davis Hotel is also noted for its participation in the local events in the city. In the 1940s, it became a part of the Dinkler Hotel Chain. It also housed the WSFA radio studio in the 1930s where African American preachers like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Ralph David Abernathy broadcasted Sunday morning sermons. However, the building was mainly an exclusively white structure until the desegregation in the late 1960s
Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

So a little research into the life of Ann Davis, patriot, led me to the discovery that this cemetery is (likely) named for she and her husband, John, also a patriot. These Revolutionary War veterans—Ann was HAND-PICKED by General Washington to serve as a messenger!—migrated to what was at the time the wild west of Ohio, where they lived and died. I am going to do more digging and hope to have a blog post at some point.

This busker was part of a foursome, I think called Wascana performing on Grafton Street in Dublin today. He did a great cover of Bob Dylans Hurricane.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.
Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.
All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.
Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Davis Bay is a small community located just south of Sechelt on BC’s Sunshine Coast. Its most notable feature is the long pebbled beach with a paved walking path lined with viewing benches and a pier jutting out from the shoreline. Often the pier is occupied by fishermen. At low tide sand bars and tidal pools appear. On a clear day Vancouver Island can be seen across the Georgia Strait.

American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis (1926-1991) was one of the most important and influential jazz musicians in history. Davis played various styles, including bop, cool jazz, modal jazz and jazz-rock fusion. His style is recognisable and original, and continues to influence jazz musicians decades after his death. His music for Louis Malle's Nouvelle Vague classic Ascenseur pour l'échafaud / Elevator to the Gallows (1957) is one of the greatest Jazz soundtracks in cinema history.
Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois, in 1926. Davis was the son of a dental surgeon, Dr. Miles Dewey Davis, Jr., and a music teacher, Cleota Mae (Henry) Davis. He grew up in the Black middle class of East St. Louis, having moved there shortly after his birth. His mother wanted him to learn to play the violin. Instead, his father gave him a trumpet for his thirteenth birthday, which he devoted himself to from then on. The family owned a ranch, where young Miles learned to ride horses. When Davis was 15, he played for audiences with bandleader Eddie Randall and studied under trumpeter Elwood Buchanan. Against the fashion of the time, Buchanan emphasised the importance of playing without vibrato. Davis retained this distinctive, clear tone throughout his career. William Ruhlmann at AllMusic: "At 17, he joined Eddie Randle's Blue Devils, a territory band based in St. Louis. He enjoyed a personal apotheosis in 1944, just after graduating from high school, when he saw and was allowed to sit in with Billy Eckstine's big band, which was playing in St. Louis. The band featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Charlie Parker, the architects of the emerging bebop style of jazz, which was characterised by fast, inventive soloing and dynamic rhythm variations." In 1945, Davis moved to New York, ostensibly to study at the Institute of Musical Art in New York City (renamed Juilliard) on a scholarship. In reality, he neglected his education and went in search of his heroes, such as Thelonious Monk and Coleman Hawkins. He regularly went out with Dizzy Gillespie, and they became good friends. By 1949, he had fulfilled his 'probation' as a fellow player, both on stage and on recordings. His own recording career subsequently flourished. That same year, Davis began collaborating with Gil Evans. This collaboration continued over the next 20 years for many of his major works. The records they made in the late 1940s were released on a limited basis for the first decade. Through New York's jazz clubs, Davis regularly came into contact with both users and sellers of illegal drugs. By 1950, he had a serious heroin addiction, possibly exacerbated by the lacklustre reception of his first personal recordings. In the early 1950s, the talent Davis possessed seemed to be lost. He played several gigs, but these were uninspired. Aware of this, Davis returned to East Saint Louis in 1954, where he tried to kick the habit with the help of his father. The latter mistakenly thought it had to do with his teeth. Davis closed himself off from society until he was free of his drug addiction. By 1954, he had overcome his heroin addiction, although he continued to use cocaine, among other things. Reborn, he returned to New York and founded the first major version of the Miles Davis Quintet. This band included the young John Coltrane and occasionally some other jazz artists known at the time, such as Sonny Rollins and Charles Mingus. Musically, the group continued where Davis left off in his sessions in the late 1940s. They avoided the rhythmic and harmonic complexity of the dominant bebop, and Davis was given the space to play long, legato and essentially melodic lines, in which he learned to make sense of modal music. This was a lifelong obsession for him.
In February 1957, Capitol finally issued the 1949 recordings, together on an LP called 'Birth of the Cool'. He also recorded 'Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet'. These albums defined the sound of cool jazz, one of the dominant trends in music for the next decade and beyond. In December 1957, Miles Davis returned to Paris, where he improvised the background music for the film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud / Elevator to the Gallows (Louis Malle, 1957) with Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet. Davis recorded the music in a single recording session while he watched a screening. He composed it while watching a rough cut and then invited a quartet of French and US musicians in from 11 pm to 5 am one night, improvising each number and allegedly sipping champagne with Jeanne Moreau and Louis Malle. Claudio Carvalho at IMDb: "The soundtrack with the music of Miles Davis gives a touch of class to this little masterpiece. The result is one of the best thrillers entwined with comedy of errors that I have ever seen." While the rest of the music establishment was still trying to accept Miles Davis' innovations, he himself was further along. Reunited with Gil Evans, he recorded a series of albums of great variety and complexity, demonstrating his mastery of his instrument in almost every musical context. On the first album, 'Miles Ahead' (1957), he played with a traditional jazz big band. This had a driven brass section arranged by Gil Evans. In addition to jazz numbers (including Dave Brubeck's 'The Duke'), the two took on Léo Delibes' 'Les Filles de Cadix'. This was the first time Davis recorded European classical music. 'Milestones' (1958) captured the sound of his current sextet, which now consisted of Davis, John Coltrane, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (alto sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Musically, this album encompassed both the past and future of jazz. Davis showed he could play blues and bebop (accompanied by Garland), but the centrepiece is the title track, a composition by Davis around the Dorian and Aeolian modes and with the free improvisational modal style Davis made his own. This modal style flourished on 'Kind of Blue' (1959), an album that became a landmark in modern jazz and the most popular album of Davis' career. It eventually sold over two million copies, a phenomenal success for a jazz record. The sextet improvised on short modal themes that had not been rehearsed beforehand. In the group, Bill Evans took over the piano, bringing classical influences to the group. On one of the tracks, Wynton Kelly played piano. He later became a permanent member of the group. After 'Kind of Blue', the group broke up. Coltrane, Evans and Adderley continued as bandleaders. Miles Davis found less inspiration, and his group changed line-ups regularly.
In 1964, Miles Davis formed his second major quintet. Herbie Hancock on piano, Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Ron Carter on bass and the still young Tony Williams on drums. Davis stated, "You have to know the rules first to then be able to break them." Jazz standards were played live, pushing the boundaries of tradition. Long improvisations with much emphasis on harmonic boundaries and tight group playing allowed him to play with texture more than before. Live, he played standards and in the studio new work, especially compositions by his saxophonist Wayne Shorter. The limits were reached on 'Live at Plugged Nickel'. It formed a counterpoint to the free jazz of Ornette Coleman, whom Davis revered in his autobiography. In June 1970, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and John McLaughlin, among others, met for four nights at the modest nightclub The Cellar Door in Washington, D.C. A six-song CD of those performances was released in 2006. In the late 1960s, Davis went electric with an electric piano, electric bass and an electric guitar. The 'groove' became important. After Davis heard 'Machine Gun' by Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight Festival, Davis immediately wanted to start a band with him. "It's that goddamned motherfucking 'Machine Gun'," Miles replied when asked what he thought of Hendrix's music. Due to Hendrix's death, it never took place. In the 1970s, he tried to reach black youth by putting funk influences in his music. As heard on the revolutionary album 'On The Corner'. 'Bitches Brew' (1970) became a landmark for emerging jazz fusion music. In late 1975, Davis withdrew from music and no longer wanted to play the trumpet. He again struggled with addiction, this time to cocaine and alcohol. Poor health, partly caused by years of excessive drug use, led to a radio silence of almost six years. Miles Davis returned to music anyway. His style changed more to a pop style. He recorded new, intriguing albums such as electronic-driven Tutu or Amandla, as well as Spanish-flavoured music for the film Siesta (Mary Lambert, 1987) with Ellen Barkin and Gabriel Byrne. Miles Davis died in Santa Monica, California, in 1991. He was 65. Already in a coma, he died of pneumonia following a severe stroke and was buried next to Duke Ellington at Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York. Davis was married to Frances Taylor (1958-1968), Betty Mabry (1968-1969) and actress Cicely Tyson (1981-1988). He had four children: Cheryl (1944), Gregory (1946), Miles IV (1950) and Erin (1970). Twenty-four years after Davis' death, he was the subject of Miles Ahead (2015), a biopic co-written and directed by Don Cheadle, who also portrayed him. Its soundtrack functioned as a career overview with additional music provided by pianist Robert Glasper and associates. In 2020, the trumpeter was also the focus of director Stanley Nelson's documentary Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool, which showcased music from throughout Davis's career.

Koenders zet zich in voor Nederlandse burgers in het Verenigd Koninkrijk tijdens gesprek met minister Davis over Brexit
Minister Koenders van Buitenlandse Zaken heeft maandag gesproken met David Davis, de Britse minister die belast is met de Brexit. Davis is naar Nederland gekomen om een toelichting te geven op de Britse plannen nu de notificatie is ingediend en alle partijen zich klaarmaken voor de onderhandelingen over de uittreding van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de EU. De Nederlandse boodschap voor de Britten is 'keep calm, be realistic and negotiate’.
Minister Koenders: ‘We hebben een constructief en zakelijk gesprek gevoerd. Ik heb aangegeven dat het VK er zelf voor heeft gekozen om de EU te verlaten maar dat Nederland graag nauw met de Britten blijft samenwerken, voor zover het vertrek uit de EU door de Britten dat mogelijk maakt’.
De ministers spraken ook over de invloed van de onlangs aangekondigde Britse verkiezingen op de onderhandelingstijdlijn. ‘Het is nu aan de Britse kiezers om aan te geven wat ze willen. Het Brexit-proces is op 29 maart ingezet en zal voortgaan, ongeacht de uitkomst van de verkiezingen’, zegt Koenders. ‘Nederland en de EU hopen de onderhandelingen spoedig op te starten en zullen op 29 april hierover een duidelijk signaal afgeven aan de Britse bevolking, namelijk dat we constructief en zakelijk de door de Britten gewenste onderhandelingen in zullen gaan en de beste uitkomst voor Nederland, de EU en het VK beogen’.
Koenders heeft verder benadrukt dat Nederland zich stevig zal inzetten om de belangen van de Nederlandse burgers en bedrijven te behartigen. Nederland wil dat er zo snel mogelijk duidelijkheid komt over de positie van EU-burgers die in het Verenigd Koninkrijk verblijven en over grenskwesties. Zij mogen niet het slachtoffer worden van onduidelijke regels of lange administratieve procedures. Daarnaast moet er in de eerste fase van de onderhandelingen duidelijkheid komen over de financiële afwikkeling van het vertrek van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie. Volgens Koenders staat de Europese Unie en het Verenigd Koninkrijk een periode van omvangrijke en complexe onderhandelingen te wachten. ‘Daarbij staat één ding voorop: de 27 EU-lidstaten trekken hierbij samen op, vanuit een gezamenlijk positie, met één onderhandelaar’, aldus de minister.

Death of Brice E. Davis
After months of suffering Brice E. Davis died Monday, the 19th day of June 1905, of Bright's disease. Age 55 years, 2 months, 5 days.
For the last four weeks his condition has been hopeless and his death was looked for at almost any hour. His vitality has been wonderful and his suffering very great.
Brice E. Davis was born in Pennsylvania. When quite young he removed with his folks to Missouri. At the age of eleven years he enlisted as a drummer boy in the 23d Missouri Infantry and was one of the very youngest enlisted soldiers of the War of the Rebellion. He was captured by the Confederates at Shiloh and was a prisoner of War for many months at Libby Prison. when he was exchanged he rejoined his regiment and served till the close of the war.
He learned the printers trade and engaged in the newspaper business at Macon, Mo., afterwards going to Kansas City, where he worked as compositor in the daily newspaper offices for many years.
In 1884 he came to Grenola, this county. He was publisher of the Grenola Chief for several years. In 1892 or '93 he came to Howard and lived here till his death. Much of the time he was a compositor in the Courant office, and was working for us when taken sick early this spring.
Mr. Davis had been twice married. He has a married daughter living in St. Louis. Nearly twenty years ago he was married to Miss Rebecca Tabor of Grenola, who with two children, Raymond and Hattie survive him.
The funeral was held at the home, Tuesday afternoon, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic. Revs. Tifft and Searcy officiated in the religious services. The members of the Howard Band attended in uniform, sang the hymns and marched as escort to the remains, Mr. Davis having been a member of that organization.
At the cemetery, the G.A.R. conducted the burial with the beautiful ritual service of that order, closing with "taps" by the buglars.
The wife and children have the sympathy of this entire community in their sorrow.
Drummer, Company I, 23rd Missouri Infantry entered service July 21, 1861 at the age of 11 years and was mustered out May 6, 1865. The picture was blown up from a tin type taken at Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Aug. 1862. He was taken prisoner at Shiloh and sent to Libby Prison. According to family history, they let him play around the outside of the prison because he was so young and so small.
The campus book store reopened recently. The new face of the campus store and MU was a photo of the day not too long ago. Loved this display so much. The store employee giving my coworkers and I a tour today commented that they received constant offers to purchase the "Selfie Chair." The chair is not for sale BTW.
