    Uncut Gems: Assorted Questions, Mainly Literature, That Weren't Good

    Uncut Gems: Assorted questions, mainly literature, that weren’t good enough to go into other packets By Mike Bentley December 2019 1. An artist who commonly went by this first name built his reputation as a genre painter with ​ ​ an ambiguous 1859 painting that could be read as both pro- and anti-slavery titled Negro Life at ​ the South. That artist with this first name has his name emblazoned on the entrance of the Met ​ and earned a reputation as the American Rembrandt for his folksy paintings of Lincoln. A man with this last name developed a process for making ✂ dry plates in the 1880s and lends his ​ ​ ​ ​ name to a School of Music run by the University of (*) Rochester. That same man with this surname ​ introduced a wildly popular point-and-shoot device originally targeted at children called the Brownie. For 10 points, give this last name of George, who developed the Kodak camera. ANSWER: Eastman [accept Eastman Johnson or George Eastman] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. One of these people hatches a plot that relies on a woman having tattoo where the words "God" and "Love" form a cross. One of these people comes up with a ritual called a Particicution in which a ✂ guilty person is kicked to death and then torn apart by dozens shrieking people. ​ ​ Before becoming a full-fledged one of these people, they are sent abroad in pairs on Pearl Girl missions. One of these people writes the (*) Ardua Hall Holograph, a text that details how she schemed ​ ​ ​ to bring about the downfall of Commander Judd. Three of these people who, unusually for their society are taught how to read and write, narrate the 2019 sequel The Testaments.

American Airlines TNS By Mimi Whitefield A sticking point in resumption of commercial airline service to Cuba has been resolved: U.S. air marshals will travel on certain flights to Cuba. At the request of the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council, the Transportation Security Administration released a statement addressing the issue of federal air marshals on flights to and from Cuba. Regularly scheduled service to Cuba is tentatively scheduled to resume after a hiatus of more than five decades on Aug. 31 when JetBlue begins service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Santa Clara, Cuba. Pending final approval from the Cuban government, other airlines, including American Airlines, are scheduled to begin their inaugural service to destinations outside the Cuban capital soon after that. The U.S. Department of Transportation has tentatively approved Havana routes for eight airlines and is expected to announce final approvals later this month. “In the spirit of enhancing the security of international civil aviation, the United States and The Republic of Cuba entered into an aviation security agreement that sets forth the legal framework for the deployment of U.S.
