Jack Palance
was born Volodymyr Palahniuk in Lattimer Mines,
Pennsylvania, the son of Anna (née Gramiak) and Ivan Palahniuk, an anthracite coal miner. His parents
were Ukrainian immigrants, his
father a native of Ivane Zolote in southwestern Ukraine (modern Ternopil Oblast) and his mother from the Lviv Oblast, an ethnic Pole. One of six children, he worked in coal mines
during his youth before becoming a professional boxer in the late 1930s. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance
reportedly compiled a record of 15 consecutive victories with 12 knockouts before losing a close decision
to future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi in a Pier-6 brawl. With the outbreak of World War II, Palance's athletic career ended,
and his military career began as a member of the United States
Army Air Forces. Palance
was honorably discharged from
the United States Army Air Forces in 1944.
After the war, he attended Stanford University,
leaving one credit shy of graduating to pursue a career in the theatre. During
his university years, he worked as a short order cook, waiter, soda jerk, lifeguard at Jones Beach State
Park, and photographer's model.
His last name was actually a derivative of his original name. In an episode of What's My Line?,
he described how no one could pronounce his last name and it was suggested that
he be called Palanski. From that he
decided just to use Palance instead. Palance had never been out of work since his career
began. But his success on Ripley's
Believe It or Not! and the international box-office hit of Bagdad Cafe (1987) resulted in a
demand for his services in big budget Hollywood films. According to writer Mark Evanier, comic book creator Jack Kirby modeled his character Darkseid on the actor. The Lucky Luke 1956 comic Lucky Luke
contre Phil Defer by Morris features a villain named Phil
Defer who is a caricature of Jack Palance.
Palance painted and sold landscape art,
with a poem included on the back of each picture. He was also the author of The Forest
of Love, a book of poems published in 1996 by Summerhouse Press. Read more and find filmography at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Palance
Now that we have the internet, we have access to pretty much all
the information we could ever need. Before there was Google, people used
their local public library. And not just
because libraries are full of books.
Librarians were specially trained to help people find information, or to
simply answer a question themselves.

A Little Practical Hawaiian by Christopher Daly, the Better
Editor of New England The literal
translation of aloha is somewhat disputed and
sometimes contradictory; a 19th century source gives one of the best definitions, describing it
as “A word expressing different feelings; as, love; affection;
gratitude; kindness; pity; compassion; grief; the modern common salutation at
meeting and parting.” Affection, pity, kindness, grief . . .
that’s a lot for a single word to cover, and that only points to the complexity
wrapped within it. Far more useful
than aloha (and
more common) was mahalo. It’s
primarily used as an island equivalent of “thank you” or “thanks” but can also be taken as a sort of “have a nice day” or “see you again soon.” It’s a polite and friendly
way to end a transaction or interaction.

You sometimes hear that the Hawaiian alphabet has only
12 letters—7 consonants and 5
vowels—which represent all the basic sounds, or phonemes, in the language. However, these letters (A, E, H, I, K, L, M,
N, O, P, U, W) only represent the sounds that were easily recognized by the English-speaking
missionaries who first implemented the written alphabet. The Hawaiian language contains another
phoneme which is treated as a consonant:
the glottal stop, or ‘okina.
English speakers often don’t notice this sound although it is one that
we make in the middle of the word “uh-oh” and at the beginning of many words
which begin with vowels. Additionally,
Hawaiian speakers distinguish between short vowels, which are briefly
pronounced, and long vowels, which have a greater duration. Modern Hawaiian orthography marks these
significant sounds by using a “left single quotation mark” (‘) to mark the
‘okina, and a macron, or kahakō, to mark long vowels. Why is correct Hawaiian orthography
important? Because these sounds are
significant in Hawaiian, they can determine the meaning of words. A commonly
cited example is a set of short words: pau:
finished, pa‘u: soot, pa‘ū: damp, pā‘ū: skirt.
Without the ‘okina and kahakō, the distinction between meanings would be
unclear. Read more at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~strauch/tips/HawaiianOrthography.html

As a novelist and memoirist, Isabel Allende writes
of passionate lives, including her own. Born into a Chilean family with political
ties, she went into exile in the United States in the 1970s—an event that, she
believes, created her as a writer. Her
voice blends sweeping narrative with touches of magical realism; her stories
are romantic, in the very best sense of the word. Her novels include The House of
the Spirits, Eva Luna and The Stories
of Eva Luna, and her latest, Maya's Notebook and Ripper. And
don't forget her adventure trilogy for young readers—City of the Beasts, Kingdom of
the Golden Dragon and Forest of the
Pygmies. As a
memoirist, she has written about her vision of her lost Chile, in My Invented
Country, and movingly tells the story of her life to
her own daughter, in Paula. Her book Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses memorably linked two sections of the
bookstore that don't see much crossover:
Erotica and Cookbooks. Just as
vital is her community work: The Isabel
Allende Foundation works with nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area
and Chile to empower and protect women and girls—understanding that empowering
women is the only true route to social and economic justice. Link to Isabel
