Did Madonna have a stunt double in a league of their own?
Nobody in the film had a stunt double. The only time a stunt double was used was during the scene where Geena Davis’ character slides into home plate. In fact, most of the injuries and bruises you see in the film are real, either from practice or playing the games while filming. The actresses spent seven months in baseball training — eight hours a day, six days a week. This ensured they’d be able to perform their own stunts.
Did Bach have a hard life?
Bach was generally well-paid and enjoyed a respected position, which ensured him material comfort and some prosperity. On the other side, he was a very busy and stressed man, which not only had to compose or perform lots of music in a very short time, but also had academic and administrative chores and responsibilities, and had 20 children with two wives - though only 10 survived to adulthood. It was after his death, that his widow and his youngest children faced harsh times and managed badly, since in those times there were almost no ways for a widow to earn a life when the head of family died.
What is the specialty of crows nest?
A crow's nest is a structure in the upper part of the main mast of a ship or structure, that is used as a lookout point.This position ensured the best view of the approaching hazards, other ships or land. It was the best device for this purpose until the invention of radar.In early ships it was simply a barrel or a basket lashed to the tallest mast. Later it became a specially designed platform with protective railing. The barrel crow's nest was invented in 1807 by the Arctic explorer William Scoresby Sr. A statue in Whitby, North Yorkshire commemorates the event.It should not be confused with the top, the platform in the upper part of each mast of asquare-rigged sailing ship.Sometimes the term is used metaphorically in reference to topmost structures in buildings,towers, etc.Since the crow's nest is a point far away from the ship's centre of mass, any small movement of the ship is amplified and could lead to severe seasickness, even in accustomed sailors. Therefore, being sent to the crow's nest was also considered a punishment.[1] Spanish "carajo" curse is derived from punitive usage of crow's nest named as such in Spanish.[2]A caboose with a crow's nestIn classic railroad trains, the box-like structure above the caboose, the cupola, was also called the crow's nest. It served for observation of the whole train when in motion. [3]In hunting a crow's nest is a blind -like structure where a hunter or a pair of hunters commit themselves to stalking game. Crow's nest is not a normal type, purchaseable blind, but it is an improvised position, built by using locally discovered natural flora (tree branches, moss, snow (during winter) or sand (during summer) etc.) Crows nest works in most environments and provides a good look out point (hence the name) when built in elevated position (hillside, or top of the hill).
How much money damage was there to the Chernobyl disaster?
This extract from htp://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf05.html gives some idea of the radiation effects. I have also included a few sentences on general radiation effect background The March 1979 accident at Three Mile Island in the US caused some people near the plant to receive very minor doses of radiation, well under the internationally recommended level. Subsequent scientific studies found no evidence of any harm resulting from that exposure. In 1996, some 2,100 lawsuits claiming adverse health effects from the accident were dismissed for lack of evidence. Immediately after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, much larger doses were experienced. All of the 22 who received more than 6,000 mSv died. Seven of the 23 who received 4,000-6,000 mSv also died, as did one of the 158 receiving 1,000-4,000 mSv. The main casualties were among the firefighters, including those who rapidly put out the initial small fires on the roof of the building. Apart from the residents of nearby Pripyat, who were evacuated within two days, some 24,000 people living within 15 km of the plant received an average of 450 mSv before they were evacuated. In June 1989 a group of experts from the World Health Organisation agreed that an incremental long term dose of 350 mSv should be the criterion for relocating people affected by the 1986 Chernobyl accident. This was considered a "conservative value which ensured that the risk to health from this exposure was very small compared with other risks over a lifetime". (For comparison, background radiation averages about 100-200 mSv over a lifetime in most places.) Over 100,000 people were relocated away from Chernobyl. About 185,000 people received significant radiation exposure, above 20 mSv, between 1986 and 1989. These continue to be monitored. In 1995 the World Health Organisation linked nearly 700 cases of thyroid cancer among children and adolescents to the Chernobyl accident, including 10 which resulted in death. So far no increase in leukaemia is discernable, but this is expected to become evident in the next few years. There has been no increase attributable to Chernobyl in congenital abnorm-alities, adverse pregnancy outcomes or any other radiation-induced disease in the general population either in the contaminated areas or further afield. After the shelter was built over the destroyed reactor at Chernobyl, a team of about 15 engineers and scientists was set up to investigate the situation inside it. Over several years they repeatedly entered the ruin, accumulating doses of up to 15,000 mSv. Daily dose was mostly restricted to 50 mSv, though occasionally it was many times this. None of the men developed any symptoms of radiation sickness, but they must be considered to have a considerably increased cancer risk. Cancer Risks From Radiation Studies of populations exposed to radiation doses in excess of natural background have yielded information on the risk of cancer. The risk associated with large radiation doses is relatively well established. However, the risks associated with doses under about 200 mSv are less obvious because of the large underlying incidence of cancer caused by other factors. Risks for exposures under about 100 mSv are assumed rather than demonstrated. . Epidemiological studies continue on the survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, involving some 76,000 people exposed at levels ranging up to more than 5,000 mSv. These have shown that radiation is the likely cause of several hundred deaths from cancer, in addition to the normal incidence found in any population. From this data the ICRP and others estimate the fatal cancer risk as 5% per Sievert exposure for a population of all ages, so that one person in 20 exposed to it could be expected to develop a fatal cancer some years later. In western countries, about a quarter of people die from cancers, with smoking, dietary factors, genetic factors and strong sunlight being among the main causes. Radiation is a weak carcinogen, but undue exposure can certainly increase health risks. In 1990 the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) found no evidence of any increase in cancer mortality among people living near to 62 major nuclear facilities. The NCI study was the broadest of its kind ever conducted and supported similar studies conducted elsewhere in the US as well as in Canada and Europe.
