[edit] Invasion of the Pines
During the summer of 1976, a visitor in drag was denied entry to a restaurant in the Fire Island Pines, an oceanfront island community east of New York City. When a group of his friends from the neighboring town of Cherry Grove heard what had happened, they too dressed up in drag and returned to the Pines by water taxi on July 4, 1976, staging what would become the first annual drag "invasion."
Thirty years later, the annual Fourth of July Invasion of the Pines now attracts hundreds of drag queens and thousands of spectators to what has become an annual Independence Day event.
On the afternoon of July 4 each year, drag queens from both Cherry Grove and the Pines gather at the Ice Palace Bar at the Cherry Grove Hotel in Cherry Grove. After parading through the street of Cherry Grove, they board a chartered ferry boat and sail to the Pines Harbor, where they are greeted by thousands of cheering residents and visitors. As each drag queen leaves the ferry and marches onto the dock, she is announced by mistress of ceremonies Panzi, one of the original 1976 invaders.

[edit] Curiosities
{{spoiler}}
- Audience records: the Chapter that Mirna (Fernanda Souza) throw the vilain Cristina (Flávia Alessandra) in a pigsty and she rubs her face in mud, it had 48 points of audience and 70% of share. Another big audience happens, the telenovela is going to end, when devil Debora (Ana Lúcia Torre) tries to murder Rafael (Eduardo Moscovis), putting poison in his juice, but who takes it and die is herself. But the most watched chapter was the last, going to 56 points.
- Walcyr Carrasco was invited after Chocolate com Pimenta ended, by Globo's direction, They asked him: "what's your next telenovela?".
- Main point to Ana Lúcia Torre and Flávia Alessandra actuations es the devil vilains Débora e Cristina, in a care performance. Noone even saw in a telenovela, mother and daughter in a "so perfect sithony" to make wicked things.
- Main point to last chapter, althought primary characters' death, it thrilled the public.
- The text recited in the end is of authory of Harvey Spencer Lewis, XX century mistic.
- And a last main point to comic scenes, like those in Divina's Boarding house. And the scenes in Mirna (Fernanda Souza), Crispim (Emílio Orciollo Netto) and Bernardo (Emiliano Queiroz) ranch. To finish, Olivia(Drica Moraes) and Vitório (Malvino Salvador), who hidden a great love behind their fights.

[edit] Michael DePaolo
Michael Robert DePaolo was born the miller son of two merchant parents in the fall of 1887. He grew up playing jacks, acing spelling tests and challenging local farm animals to footraces.
[edit] Footracing Career
Michael was a venerable footracer in his prime, competing against such greats as Hanes McClain and Higgins O'Rourke.
His footracing career was cut violently short, however, upon a bout of influenza brought on by a strong case of youth obesity in 1895.
[edit] Mid-life Crisis
Michael's now infamous mid-life crisis came at the tender age of 13. As a miller son, he worked in the mills, until a freak milling accident left him with only 1 1/2 arms.
[edit] Recreational Activities Following Accident
After the accident, Michael was never the same. With only 1 1/2 arms, he was no longer able to participate in recreational sports at a competitive level. The most vivid example of this is the account of a stickball game he played in the summer of 1901. Michael attempted to swing at a pitch, severing a tendon in his arm, disabling him for the remainder of the baseball-playing season. Neighborhood boys never knocked on his door again.
[edit] The Fallout
Following the severed nerve, and cut off from society, Michael's life deteriorated in the 20th century. Friends began to phone in prank stories about him to newspapers, claiming outlandish accounts that he had "eaten neighbors' livestock" or had "defecated on adjoining property." He hit rock bottom when he appeared in a local town play, completely nude from the waist down. These activities, along with the growing rumors that he was beginning to attain superpowers that made him immune to injury from rocks, led to Michael's stoning in 1923.

[edit] Nelson´s attempt on Tenerife, July 1797.
After having captured four Spanish vessels off cape San Vicente (Portugal) in February of that year, Jervis, who sailed for Lisbon (Portugal) after the engagement, received orders from the admiralty that he should subdue the then blockaded Spanish port of Cádiz (southern Spain), where the rest of the shattered Spanish squadron had sought shelter. The British first sea Lord thought that the easiness of Jervis´ victory over de Córdoba guaranteed a successful attack on that southern harbour. Jervis´ ships besieged Cádiz more closely but, to their surprise, were repelled by an unexpected synergy force. Smaller cannon boats organised in a flotilla scattered across the bay under Spanish commander Mazarredo and brought disaster to Jervis´ fleet. These yachts, bearing one larger calibre cannon (24 pound), had a clear advantage when coastal warfare in shallow water was involved, as they could manoeuvre more easily, even in the darkness, and position themselves in order to attack the most vulnerable parts of ships of the line. The city batteries alongside the Spanish war ships anchored at harbour joined those boats in bombarding the assaulters, who loosened up the grip of the blockade and as a result many merchant convoys were able to enter and leave the port.
THE BRITISH LOOK DOWN AT TENERIFE
The blockading British war ships crews began feeling fed up with the long stay at sea and mutiny knocked on the captain´s door. Jervis heard of treasure Spanish convoys from America arriving regularly at Tenerife, which was fortified, rather than at Cádiz and sent two reconnoitring frigates over. Caught by surprise by boats from English frigates Minerve and Lively that entered the port of Sta. Cruz in the dark, French privateer frigate La Mutine and another Spanish frigate of the Philippine Company were captured in April. It encouraged the British fleet enough for Jervis to commission a small squadron with the aim of invading its capital Santa Cruz by means of an amphibian attack.
Therefore, on July 14, just promoted rear-admiral Horatio Nelson, hoisting his flagship on HMS Theseus, captain Miller, sailed for the Canary islands ahead of a squadron including HMS´s Culloden, captain Troubridge, Zealous, captain Hood, all 74´s; frigates Seahorse (38) commanded by captain Freemantle, Emerald (36) by captain Waller and Terpsichore (32), captain Bowen; cutter Fox under lieutenant Gibson and cannon boat Ray, lieutenant Crompton. HMS Leander (50), captain Thompson, joined the flotilla once the attack had started. This plundering expedition amounted around 400 guns and nearly 4.000 men. They arrived in the vicinity of Sta. Cruz on July 17.
At Sta. Cruz, lieutenant general Gutiérrez, a two-time victor over the British, hasted to prepare defence when he learned about he capture of La Mutine. He ordered city batteries and castles to be refortified by doubling their gun rows, which now had increased to 91, and piling earth sacks around. He was able to put together a force of 1.700 men from soldiers, partisans, local hunters, militia, artillery and French sailors from the taken French frigate.
According to Nelson´s plan, Troubridge would lead the first move: the frigates of the fleet should approach as closer as possible and disembark the troops at night in order to fall on the heights and the batteries north east of the city. Then, cannon boat Ray would open mortar fire on the city. At break of dawn, the ships of the line would bear in the harbour and bombard the city to destruction unless the Spanish merchant ships anchored and their cargo either on board or that which had already been carried into the city was handed over to the British, as read the note sent by Nelson to the Spanish authorities.
On the 20th, Troubridge was on board Theseus to sharpen the last details of his duty. The disembark manoeuvre was conceived in two stages. In the first, men would be released at Valle Seco beach, some two miles west of Sta. Cruz harbour, so as to take Paso Alto castle in a surrounding approach. If the city did not surrender after conquering this point, the rest would head for the port and launch the definite attack. Force was over 1.000 men as each ship of the line provided 200 and 100 each frigate, supported by 80 artillerymen.
The plan began the next evening. In the clearness of the summer Canary night, citizens realised blurry figures sailing forward into the pier: the British boats, carrying the troops, were on their way. They were two groups: one of 23 boats and launches heading for the Bufadero cliff; the other, 16, coming right into the city. Authorities were updated as adverse streams held the English back. No marine bombardment was likely as ships could not get any closer and even though frigates could, the latter ported naval cannons of straight fire that could not reach the city. The British had just one curve shot mortar which could inflict little damage. They had no howitzer and carronades were of no use in this situation. Spanish cannons began firing heavily on the boats, wrecking some of them. The currents were too strong and the British decided to go back to the ships.
In a second attempt, frigates were tugged by the boats close to the Bufadero, where they anchored. Despite the Paso Alto castle shooting, the contrary streams and the lack of animals to carry the artillery, 1.000 British soldiers stepped on Valle Seco beach with some warfare material. In the middle of the night, some of the boats did not reach the beach and ended up strewn around, as no British officer knew the location.
Along the 23rd a heavy cannonade and musketry took place. Gutiérrez managed to recruit more effectives and station them in the castle, as well as moved the forces from the Sta. Cruz fortress, now unnecessary, on to Paso Alto. The British, who lost two men, were harassed and troubled. Nelson, from the Theseus, called the troops back. Once on board, the three frigates slipped before the Candelaria beach and the Barranco Hondo, firing into the cliffs, intending to frighten and silence the defenders. Once rejected in Valle Seco, Gutiérrez guessed Nelson´s next move and brought most of the artillerymen in the port batteries, leaving just 30 militia men in Paso Alto. The British could not see the Spanish troops trips from one place to another, so they deemed the Spanish force larger than they actually were.
Nelson was between a rock and a hard place. Enraged by the failure of the first stage of his plan, he called his captains on board Theseus and explained how he himself would lead the next move ahead of a boat group followed by 5 more led by captains Troubrige, Miller, Hood, Waller and Thompson straight to the San Cristóbal castle, in Sta. Cruz harbour, where Gutiérrez had by now assembled his best trained fighters.
In order to reduce the noise, cloth-padded rows propelled the boats at 10.30 p.m. on July 24 from around the Zealous into the harbour. Spanish frigate San José, anchored 500 metres away from the pier, fired an alarm shot when sailors on board heard that the disembark troops were getting closer. Troubled waters were against the British, who amounted 700 in the boats, supported by 180 in cutter Fox and 80 in a Canary sloop taken earlier. Apart from the San Cristóbal castle, which had been pierced open in order to place a low huge 24 pound cannon, general Gutiérrez had split his force in four strategic points: Pila square, Santos stream, Carnicerías beach and Santo Domingo monastery.
At around 23 h. a rain of cannon ball and musket bullet from the batteries of Paso Alto, San Miguel, San Antonio and San Pedro fell on the approaching British who saw some of their ammunition dampened by the waves. Several shots reached the cutter hull. Some of the boats reached the beaches and marines managed to stick a couple of cannons, yet others drifted away. Spanish mortars and cannons focused on the successful sailors and swept them away. Tens of British ripped soldiers were left scattered on the beach. An immense line of fire, ranged from Paso Alto to San Telmo castle, vomited iron on the small vessels. Before midnight cutter Fox was shot dramatically by crossed fire from the heights and sunk and more than half her crew drowned.
The cannon el Tigre, howling from the hole opened in San Cristóbal castle, hit Nelson´s boat and tore off the rear-admiral right arm. Captain Bowen was killed on board his boat, which was reduced to a piece of shattered wood. Those soldiers who succeeded in reaching the beach were bullet riddled also from house terraces and windows. Citizenship was closely involved in repelling the attack to the point that, after the victory, some were given honours and medals.
Nelson was bleeding copiously and step-son lieutenant Nisbet cut a piece of his own neck handkerchief and tied it tightly around Nelson´s arm to stop the bloodshed. The admiral refused to use frigate Seahorse, that was stationed close, to be taken back to his flagship, as it would imply captain Fremantle would have to hoist an SOS flag and demoralise the crews. Instead, the sailors of his boat rowed hard back to the Theseus. The surgeon had been warned of the contingency and he got his instruments ready. Nelson was cited saying as he pointed to his right arm “hey doc, I want to get rid of this useless piece of flesh here”. Nelson´s operation was quick and aseptic. The limb was thrown over board, despite the admiral´s wish to keep it.
The batteries increased the cannonade when they noticed that almost half thousand British soldiers managed to tread on the Carnicerías beach and were attempting to slip into the city. Captains Troubridge and Hood, leading 350 men, accomplished the taking of La Consolación convent. However, the rest of the troops were defeated when they tried to jump into the San Cristóbal fortress from behind. Troubridge was aware of his desperate situation with no support from ships or more effectives coming to his aid, but he was still in the mood of joking. An envoy handed Gutierrez a letter from the captain where the Troubridge demanded the surrender of the Spaniards. Gutiérrez, a veteran in fighting British braggarts, returned the mailman answering Troubridge should stop drinking in these situations. In the meantime, the Spanish general ordered the fire on the besieged British to be increased meanwhile he brought more artillerymen to the batteries closer to La Consolación.
The rest of the British forces achieved disembarkation in Las Carnicerías and proceeded through the Santos cliff. Despite the heave fire from the Spanish fortresses, these men succeeded in joining Troubridge after being bottled in Sto. Domingo square.
Gutiérrez had the Canarias battalion blockade the pier so that Troubridge could not make any escape back or any support come in. Two columns headed for the harbour, one behind the Sto. Domingo square in order to hinder the British advance inside the city and the other along the coast. In the morning, convalescent Nelson attempted to reinforce Troubridge by sending 15 boats into the pier. At around 1.00 am, a roaring fire flew over the small squadron. Three of them were sunk with more than 30 drowned, the rest rowed back shocked.
At this time, alcohol had absolutely drained Troubridge´s brain. The arrogant captain sent another message to Gutiérrez through captain Hood, who showed up before the Spanish general with clear symptoms of delirium tremens. The post said that the British would take consideration of the poor Spanish people once the Spanish arms had surrendered to His Majesty soldiers. Gutiérrez, seeing that Troubridge was out of his mind, offered a doctor had Troubridge´s head checked and, if necessary, further treatment at a local hospital. When soberness and judgement finally came down to the British officers, they accepted what was inevitable from the beginning and signed their surrender before the Spanish authorities.
Nelson agreed to take notice of the Spanish victory back to the peninsula and frigate Emeral entered Cádiz in late July. When Jervis learned about the fiasco he got mad at Nelson and his men as Jervis expected the mission to be accomplished. Jervis estimated the Spanish port cities such as Cádiz or Sta. Cruz to be like the Spanish ships of the line that had been beaten hard back in February in a naval battle. Haughtiness and lack of proper material and human resources for an invasion led the British fleet sent against Tenerife to a painful defeat and they never tried to capture any Spanish city again.
The Spanish suffered 30 dead and 40 injured. The British 250 dead and 128 wounded. The way back to England was difficult as the British had lost many men and some sails. Gutiérrez supported embarkation by means of two Spanish schooners. The Spanish general allowed the British to leave with their arms and war honours when, in fact, the weapons must have been captured and the men taken prisoners. Courteous letters were exchanged between Nelson and Gutiérrez as a result of the final harmony. Nelson would later told that Tenerife was the most horrible hell he had ever endured, and not only because he had lost his arm.

[edit] Gongzong Emperor
Gongzong Emperor; Chinese 恭宗; Pinyin: Gōngzōng; Birth Name: Zhou Xian; (c.1270- c.1323)- Seventh emperor of the Southern Song dynasty. Son of the empress Chuan and the emperor Duzong, Gongzong was emperor for less than a year, at age 4, under the regency of the dowager empress Xie. Gongzong's pseudo- reign was marked by Song defeats to the Mongol army and loss of control of the capital Hanzhou in 1276 to the Mongol general Bayan. The regent sent Gongzong's two brothers and their uncles to Fujian province for safety before announcing Song capitulation and removing Gongzong from the throne. The entire court was brought to Shangdu (Beijing) as prisoners. Khubilai Khan gave Gongzong an honorary title, Duke of Yingguo, and had him educated in Tibet as a Buddhist monk. In 1323, Gongzong committed suicide which led to rumors that he was the father of the future Mongol emperor Shundi, born in 1320 to a Turkish woman. The fate of Gongzong's two brothers was to become the last gasp of the Song dynasty as the Mongols pushed further south to eradicate the remnants of Song China. The eight year old Duanzong, son of the concubine Yang and the emperor Duzong, was declared emperor by the fugitives in Fuzhou, Fujian. The entire court soon had to flee and were taken to sea by the chief minister, Chen Yizhong who kept mobile along the shore as the Mongols moved closer. When Shanghai fell, the Mongols launched a naval attack and forced the court further in the sea where the ship sank in a typhoon. Most of the court managed to berth themselves near Hong Kong and though Duanzong survived the ordeal, he later died of shock. The six year old Bing Di was then named emperor by court officials. Once again the court was pushed out to sea amid Mongol advances and after months of regrouping, a counter attack on the Mongols was attempted. 1,000 ships were chained together in a line stretching the length of Hong Kong harbor; the ensuing battle lasted three weeks. The Mongols captured 800 Chinese ships and nearly 100,000 died in the melee. 16 ships managed to escape, including that of the dowager empress Yang. Bing Di did not survive, though it is said that a minister tried to save him by jumping off the ship with the emperor in arms. The Mongols found his body washed up on the shore. Yang was so distraught that she drowned herself and is now worshipped as a goddess of the sea along the coast. With that, the Song dynasty was at an end and the Mongols would reign as the Yuan Dynasty for 89 years.

[edit] Grande Oriente Lusitano - Maçonaria Portuguesa
The Grande Oriente Lusitano - Maçonaria Portuguesa (Grand Orient of Lusitania - Portuguese Freemasonry) is a symbolic masonic Obedience founded in 1802, thus being the oldest portuguese masonic Obedience. Its first Grand Master was Sebastião José de São Paio de Melo e Castro Lusignan, grandson of the first Marquis of Pombal, and his symbolic name was Egas Moniz.
The Grande Oriente Lusitano - Maçonaria Portuguesa belongs to the masonic liberal current, proclaming the absolute liberty of conscience and adogmatism.
Its history in intimately related to the history of Portugal itself since the early 19th century. Some of the great changes Portugal has met during the 19th and 20th centuries were mostly due to the action of portugues Freemasonry, such as:
- The Liberal Revolution of 1820;
- The Abolishment of the Death Penalty, in 1867;
- The establishment of the Portuguese Republic, in 1910.
Opposing every form of oppression, the Grande Oriente Lusitano has faced throughout its history many moments of fierce persecution by the most conservative and reactionary wings of society. Amongst these moments, the prohibition during the Estado Novo dictatorship (law nº1901 dated 13th of May 1935, proposed by José Cabral who had recently joined the single state-ruled party União Nacional, National Union, after leaving the portuguese integralists and the national-sindicalists leadered by Francisco Rolão Preto) which forced portuguese freemasons into clandestinity and often prison and political exile. [Fernando Pessoa], the renowned portuguese poet, who assumed himseld as a profane (or non-mason) published an article in Diário de Lisboa (Lisbon Daily, a daily newspaper) defending Freemasonry and specifically the Grande Oriente Lusitano. During clandestinity (1935-1974), the Grande Oriente Lusitano had its buildings confiscated and the Masonic Palace, in center Lisbon, occupied by the Legião Portuguesa (Portuguese Legion, a para-military political force created for the "defense of the State").
The Revolution of the Carnations on the 25th of April of 1974 revoqued law nº1901 and the Grande Oriente Lusitano could once more see the light of day and have its buildings returned.
Amongst its members one may find very important names of the History of Portugal and the World:
- Gomes Freire de Andrade (Grand-Master of the Grande Oriente Lusitano at the time of his death in 1817);
- Manuel Fernandes Tomás (founder of Sinédrio, a secret society created to organize the Liberal Revolution of 1820);
- Manuel da Silva Passos (better known as Passos Manuel, proeminent liberal politician);
- Sebastião de Magalhães Lima (founder of the Portuguese League of the Rights of Man);
- Bernardino Luís Machado Guimarães (president of the Republic);
- José Relvas (proclamed the Republic from on the 5th of October of 1910 from the balcony of Lisbon's Municipality);
- José Mendes Ribeiro Norton de Matos (Grand-Master of the Grande Oriente Lusitano, general and candidate for the democratic opposition on the presidential elections of 1948);
- Afonso Costa (republican politician, several times prime-minister);
- António Egas Moniz (doctor in medicine, Nobel Prize);
- Gago Coutinho (aviator);
- Emídio Guerreiro (mathematician, politician, antifascist resistant, fought in the Spanish Civil War for the republicans, member of the french resistance in WWII, founder of the portuguese Popular Democratic Party, PPD);
- Fernando Valle (doctor in medicine and politician, founder of the portuguese Socialist Party);
- José Martí (martir of cuban independence, initiated in 1871 at Armonía nº52 lodge at the Orient of Madrid, of the Grande Oriente Lusitano);
- and many more.
Under the auspices of the Grande Oriente Lusitano there are lodges of the Ancient and Accepted Scotish Rite and of the French Rite. These Rites and administered by the respective philosofic Potences with which the Grande Oriente Lusitano has a treaty to confer the symbolic degrees:
- Supreme Council of the Grand Inspector-General of the 33rd Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scotish Rite for Portugal and its jurisdiction;
- Sovereign Grand Chapter of the Cavaliers Rose-Croix - Grand Chapter General of the French Rite of Portugal.
The three potences are represented in civil society through the Grémio Lusitano, a cultural, recreational and philanthropic society whose head quarters are situated at the Rua do Grémio Lusitano, number 25, in Lisbon. This building, the Masonic Palace, also hosts the Portuguese Masonic Museum, considered by many as one of the best of its kind in Europe. The Museum is open to the general public.

[edit] Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver
Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver (original title: Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer) is a German children fantasy novel written by Michael Ende, published in 1960, where it scored a tremendrous success. In fact, this spawned the sequel Jim Button and the Wild 13 some time after.
[edit] Plot Summary
The story opens at a tiny island called Morrowland (original name: Lummerland), which has just enough space for a a small palace, a train station and rails all around the island, a convenience store, a small house, a king, two subjects, a locomotive named Emma, and an engine driver by the name of Luke (Lukas). One day, the postman - who has to come by ship - drops off a package with a nearly illegible address with the names Mrs. Krintuuth and Zorroulend, and a large 13 on the back. After a futile search for the addressee all over the island, the people open the package - and find to their immense surprise a black baby inside. After the surprise has died down, the baby is adopted by the islanders and is named Jim Button.
But as he grows up, the King begins to worry about the fact that there is no space to let Jim live on the island once he's grown up, and he announces to Luke that Emma has to be removed. Luke, upset about this decision, decides to leave the island with his locomotive, but Jim (who had accidentally listened to Luke as he related his sorrows to Emma) decides to come along. Converting Emma into a makeshift ship, they sail off the island in the night and eventually arrive at the coast of China.
When they arrive in Ping, the capital, they win the friendship of a tiny great-grandchild named Ping Pong, and from him they learn that the Emperor is in mourning because his daughter, Li Si, has been kidnapped. Luke and Jim offer their help, and while investigating the circumstances of Li Si's disappearance they stumble upon several names which are directly connected to Jim's mysterious arrival on Morrowland: Mrs. Grindtooth (Frau Mahlzahn), the Wild 13, and the name Sorrowland. Now the two friends have one more reason to go to the Dragon City (which is located in Sorrowland) and confront Mrs. Grindtooth.
After a long and very hazardous journey - in which they make two new friends: Mr. Tur Tur the Giant (who is actually a "Scheinriese", an illusionary giant), and Nepomuk the half-dragon - they arrive in the Dragon City and free Princess Li Si and a large number of children, who had all been kidnapped by the Wild 13, a gang of pirates, and sold to Mrs. Grindtooth so she could torture them by "playing" school. They take the dragon with them as they make the journey back on the Yellow River, which has its origin right in the Dragon City. Making it back to China, where they receive a triumphal welcome, they are surprised by two startling news: that Mrs. Grindtooth is to turn into a Golden Dragon of Wisdom, and that the other inhabitants of Morrowland want them back on the island!
With a last advice given by Mrs. Grindtooth and the generous assitance by the Emperor, Luke and Jim come into the possession of a swimming island, which should solve the problem of Jim's future residence, and after a cordial welcome back on Morrowland, Jim and Li Si become engaged, and Jim gets a baby locomotive, which he names Molly. But there are yet many questions to solve, and these call for another adventure...
[edit] The Settings
While the novel and its sequel are supposed to play in about the 20th century, there are many elements mixed in which create an atmosphere of intentional anachronism: China is still an empire, and Native Americans and Eskimos still live in their traditional ways, while ocean liners, telephones, post service, chewing gum and many other modern conveniences are already in use.
In addition, there are many ficturous locations, like the "Crown of the World", a vast mountain range coloured in red and white stripes, and the Magnetic Cliffs. Some of these are based on legendary and real places - here the Himalaya range and the magnetic cliffs in the Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, repsectively - but there are also original locations.

[edit] [Tim Mackintosh-Smith]
Tim Mackintosh-Smith (b.1961)lives in an ancient tower house off the market of the cows in the old city of San'a Yemen. From there he has authored the Thomas Cook/Daily Telegraph prize winning "Yemen: Travels in Dictionaryland" (1997), and more recently the first two volumes of his journeys in 'the footnotes" of Ibn Batutah: "Travels with A Tangerine"(2001)and "The Hall of a Thousand Columns" (2005). He has written widely on subjects as broad as the collection of frankincense, the stories of M.R. James and the history of umbrellas. He has featured in a documentary film "The English Sheik and the Yemeni Gentleman", and is presenting a BBC documentary series recreating the experience of tracing Ibn Batutah's fourteenth century travels into the present day. Despite his refuge in a distant corner of Arabia, Tim has succeeded in becoming celebrated among the literati of Europe and the Americas and hopes to make lots and lots of money. His brilliant treatment for a feature film about the modern day descendants of Ibn Batutah seeking their rightful inheritance may serve this purpose.
