But Tony Shalhoub isn’t Scenes: Adrian Monk. Not any more. After eight years of Monk’s obsessive-compulsive hand-wiping, pole-touching and mystery-solving “Monk.” the often under-appreciated Final Case show that re-vitalized USA Network, made Shalhoub into an Emmy- By Joe Rhodes winning star and spawned a wave of quirkily-observant tv detective imitators, has finally come to an end. The final episode, because this is “Monk,” will put everything in its place. Before it ends – with a Randy Newman song written especially for the finale – loyal viewers will have the answers they’ve been waiting for: Who killed Monk’s wife, Trudy, the crime that sent him into a catatonic state and has hung over the series from the very first episode? Will he be reinstated as a San Francisco detective? Will he ever unbutton that top shirt button? Is that Captain Mr. Monk would not have enjoyed Stottlemeyer’s real hair?

Efter Dustin Hoffman Och Goldie Hawn: Richard Gere I Kappahls Nya Reklamfilm
2007-09-14 08:56 CEST Efter Dustin Hoffman och Goldie Hawn: Richard Gere i KappAhls nya reklamfilm Richard Gere, en av Hollywoods absolut största stjärnor, medverkar i KappAhls nya reklamfilm. Han blir den tredje hollywoodskådespelaren, efter Dustin Hoffman och Goldie Hawn, som för ut KappAhls reklamplattform You Look Great. Och som vanligt är det en kvinna som spelar huvudrollen medan stjärnan får nöja sig med en biroll. Arvodet skänker Richard Gere bland annat till ett hälsoprojekt i tredje världen. Richard Gere har varit med från början på KappAhls heta lista över tänkbara skådespelare. - Nu var tiden rätt. Richard Gere är en superkändis med en otroligt stark karisma. När han i filmen säger You Look Great till vår kvinnliga huvudrollsinnehavare, så är jag övertygad om att alla kvinnor känner det som en stor komplimang, säger Cathrine Simonsson, marknadschef på KappAhl. Richard Gere är mycket restriktiv när det gäller reklam. - Jag har bara gjort några få reklamfilmer och jag undersöker noggrant vilka företag jag arbetar med, innan jag tackar ja. Samarbetet med KappAhl är viktigt och värdefullt och kommer att gynna många fattiga människor. Jag vill genom min välgörenhetsorganisation, The Gere Foundation, satsa pengar bland annat på ett projekt med sjukförsäkringar i tredje världen. Därför kommer jag att skänka hela mitt arvode till detta ändamål, säger Richard Gere. Richard Gere har under hela sin skådepelarkarriär engagerat sig i de svagas kamp. - Han är en sann humanist som kombinerar kändisskapet med ett stort engagemang för de fattiga, som nu när han låter arvodet gå till ett behjärtansvärt ändamål, påpekar Cathrine Simonsson. - You Look Great speglar våra kunders syn på sig själva och vi medverkar till att bekräfta detta.

MASS TOURISM and the MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL
MASS TOURISM and the MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL The role of mass tourism in the decline and possible future extinction of Europe’s most endangered marine mammal, Monachus monachus William M. Johnson & David M. Lavigne International Marine Mammal Association 1474 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1L 1C8 ABSTRACT Mass tourism has been implicated in the decline of the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) since the 1970s, when scientists first began reviewing the global status of the species. Since then, the scientific literature, recognising the inexorable process of disturbance and loss of habitat that this economic and social activity has produced along extensive stretches of Mediterranean coastline, has consistently identified tourism as among the most significant causes of decline affecting this critically-endangered species. Despite apparent consensus on this point, no serious attempt has been made to assess the tourist industry’s role, or to acknowledge and discuss its moral and financial responsibility, in the continuing decline and possible future extinction of M. monachus. In view of this, The Monachus Guardian 2 (2) November 1999 1 we undertook a review of existing literature to identify specific areas in which tourism has impacted the Mediterranean monk seal. Our results provide compelling evidence that mass tourism has indeed played a major role in the extirpation of the monk seal in several European countries, that it continues to act as a significant force of extinction in the last Mediterranean strongholds of the species, and that the industry exerts a generally negative influence on the design and operation of protected areas in coastal marine habitats. There are compelling reasons to conclude that unless the tourist industry can be persuaded to become an active and constructive partner in monk seal conservation initiatives, it will eventually ensure the extinction of the remaining monk seals in the Mediterranean.

THE MIDNIGHT ASSASSIN : OR CONFESSION OF THE MONK RINALDI ----- BEFORE entering at large into our history, it will be necessary to say a few words on the manner by which it was obtained.—Some English gentlemen happening to make an excursion not far from the environs of Naples, about forty years ago, beheld a magnificent portico, the beauty of which led them to investigate the interior of the building; the church was called Santa Maria del Pianto, a very antient convent of the Black Crucifix. While standing at the portico, a person, impressive in his appearance, and lost in his own reflections, startled by the sound of their steps, quickly stole towards a door of the building, and disappeared. His tall thin figure, pale complexion, ferocious eye, and face half concealed under a long cloke, excited their attention, and, on entering the church, nobody was to be seen but a friar, who come from an adjoining convent to answer the questions of inquisitive strangers.
