At the 2022 Black Adam premiere, Drew Afualo and her boyfriend Pili repped Samoa from head to toe. As a Samoan woman myself, I'm still obsessed with her dress with a tapa corset. This cloth is made from bark and is deeply significant in Polynesian cultures. Pili wore an ula fala (the red necklace) and an ie faitaga, which is often worn by men to formal events.
This week, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan attended the Gold Gala, Gold House's annual event that celebrates Asian and Pacific Islander excellence. She wore a stunning Indian lehenga with jhumka earrings.
According to designer Thai Nguyen, Kelly Marie Tran became the first person to wear a Vietnamese áo dài at the Oscars when she wowed on the 2022 red carpet. In a Facebook video, he said it took six artists to create the look.
In 2016, Auli'i Cravalho performed a hula at the world premiere of Moana. The Native Hawaiian actor wore a hula skirt, lei po'o, and what seem to be dangling plumeria earrings.
At the 2022 Met Gala, Vanessa Hudgens wore a mesmerizing black dress. On Instagram, she wrote, "I was so obsessed with this dress (Still am) for so many reasons. A. It was designed by a friend @jeremyscott who knows the real me B. The silhouette is actually historically correct for the Gilded Age theme C. I got to be the glamorous witch that I am and D. The puff sleeve pays homage to my Filipino heritage."
Last year, American Idol winner Iam Tongi attended the Unforgettable Gala with a Tongan ta'ovala around his waist. The red necklace, called an ula fala, is made from pieces of pandanus fruit that are painted red.
At the 2021 premiere of Eternals, Kumail Nanjiani wore a Pakistani sherwani by the House of Umar Sayeed. He told The Hollywood Reporter, "I wanted to wear a sherwani because 1. They look awesome and 2. My costume in the film always reminded me of sherwanis." The actor called his mom, who gave him the names of three designers in Pakistan.
At the 2021 Met Gala where the theme was "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," Naomi Osaka stunned in a Louis Vuitton dress co-designed by her sister, Mari Osaka. The tennis star — who is Japanese and Haitian — wore an obi-style belt, print featuring koi fish, and bright colors reminiscent of the Caribbean.
At the same Met Gala, Saweetie wore a custom Christian Cowan gown with a trailing cape that featured colors of the Black American Heritage flag on one side and colors of the Filipino flag on the other. "That's what makes me an American girl," she said.
At the 2016 VMAs, Parris Goebel rocked a beautiful Polynesian dress. Designer Priscilla Ale told The Coconet, "Her inspiration was to go traditional Polynesian with a poppin' color and a tatau [tattoo] print to represent her Samoan heritage."
In 2019, Priyanka Chopra was honored at the Marrakech International Film Festival for her work in cinema. According to Vogue India, she wore an ivory Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla sari "doused in mukaish work" and hand-embroidered with "sequins in a geometric jaali leitmotif."
At the 2008 SAG Awards, Sandra Oh dazzled on the red carpet in a black and pink gown. According to E! News, the dress was a couture version of Korean hanbok.
Dinah Jane attended the 2022 API Excellence Celebration in traditional Tongan clothing designed by Afa Ah Loo. On Instagram, she wrote, "This is a custom top made out of Tongan Ngatu. Traditionally this material is made from the bark of Hiapo or Mulberry Tree. Our ancestors passed this method down and mostly women hand make the Ngatu. It’s been a prized TREASURE (Koloa) of our ancestors and still is to this very day. It’s given at prestigious events that celebrate milestones of life and the essence of our people."
In 2019, Tan France attended the Emmys in a sherwani by Varun Bahl Couture to represent his Pakistani heritage. According to the designer's website, the outfit was featured in Kensington Palace's Crown to Couture exhibit.
Last year, Ali Wong — who is Vietnamese and Chinese — attended the Time 100 Gala in an áo dài and headpiece. On Instagram, designer Thai Nguyen thanked the actor "for this iconic moment representing the Vietnamese culture and the beauty of the áo dài."
Last year, Richa Moorjani captivated at the premiere of the final season of Never Have I Ever. According to Vogue India, she wore an Amit Aggarwal ensemble: a lehenga, hand-embroidered blouse, and structured palla with geometrical patterns.
At this week's Gold Gala, Simone Kessell wore a hei tiki (a neck pendant in the shape of a tiki). Both the pendant and her earrings are carved from pounamu, which is deeply significant to Māori people's culture and history, and can only be found in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
In 2007, Janel Parrish attended the Bratz premiere in a blue dress with a mandarin collar inspired by her heritage. "I wanted to stay true to my Chinese roots," she told OK! Magazine. "Especially playing a Chinese character. Loved this look."
At the 2021 Encounter premiere, Riz Ahmed wore a pink kurta by Prada. Though he was born and raised in London, he told the New York Times he was alienated at school due to his Pakistani heritage. Wearing a kurta at a movie event was an act of reclamation and an opportunity to subvert "Eurocentric and precolonial" constructs around masculinity.
Last year, Oscar Kightley attended the premiere of Next Goal Wins. He wore a button-down shirt with Samoan tattoo designs, an ie faitaga, and an ula fala.
And finally, Joy Crookes wore a beautiful lehenga to the 2020 Brit Awards. "It goes beyond representing Bangladeshi culture, it's representing myself," she told BBC. "I want to be able to feel like anywhere I put my foot, no one can question that I belong there. If I'm going to an award ceremony, I'm not going there to be someone else, I'm going there to be myself. And part of me is my culture."

2024.03.25 20:42 Guchi28 The Complex Case of Killua - Key Information So Far

I would like to begin by saying that the death of Killua is saddening, despicable, and unfortunate.
However, recent details (testimonies, CCTV footage, and findings) have brought to light even deeper issues that must be addressed FAIRLY and OBJECTIVELY.
Listed below are key pieces of information that add context to the complex case of Killua.
I do not wish to push any narrative or stance on you as I would rather you come up with your own conclusions based on the facts and information found below.
It is also important to note that we still do not have all the details laid out for us. There are still gaps in the timeline that may or may not be answered. A case has just been filed in court so it is reasonable to expect that the major parties involved may not reveal more details.
March 17, 2024: - Dog owner Vina Arazas (FB: Vina Rachelle) revealed that her pet Golden Retriever "Killua" was found lifeless inside a sack. - She posted multiple images and videos of Killua, most notable of which are the CCTV footage showing an individual attacking Killua with a piece of wood and the video recording of the confrontation between Vina and the suspected attacker, who was identified to be a Tanod named Anthony Solares. - She also explained that the escape of Killua was a mystery since the gate was locked and the dog was kept inside the house.
March 19, 2024: - During a senate hearing, news outlets reported that, due to the public outcry regarding animal cruelty (mainly driven by the death of Killua), Senator Grace Poe urged fellow lawmakers to prioritize the passage of Senate Bill (SB) No. 2458, which seeks to enhance animal welfare. - Several pets were in attendance, including rescue animals and personal pets of lawmakers.
March 20, 2024: - Anthony Solares appeared in an interview on One News (YT: One News PH) explaining that he did what was "necessary" in the moment since Killua was allegedly aggressive, attacking and biting other individuals in the vicinity, including himself. - Anthony Solares admitted to killing Killua and bringing the dog to his carinderia but denied putting the dog in the sack and preparing the dog to be slaughtered for meat. - Other news outlets, such as News 5 (YT: News5Everywhere), reported that residents claimed that the area where the tragedy happened (Bato, Camarines Sur) was notorious for the production and consumption of dog meat. - News outlets also indicated that more CCTV footage was acquired, showing additional key incidents (more on this later).
March 25, 2024: - In an episode of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (YT: GMA Public Affairs), both the dog owner Vina Arazas and Anthony Solares were interviewed, as well as members of PAWS, DOH, and PNP (among others). In the episode, the following observations could be made: -- Killua and Vina had a loving relationship. -- Anthony Solares had a pet dog of his own. - In addition, unique pieces of information to this KMJS coverage are the following: -- Extended video footage showing Killua jumping off the roof of the Arazas' household. -- Extended video footage showing Killua lunging at an old lady who was walking by. -- Extended video footage showing a different angle of the encounter between Killua and Anthony Solares. - The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) posted online that Killua tested positive for rabies but claimed that the finding may be inaccurate as the test was conducted 5 days later and Killua's body might have been contaminated due to exposure to a slaughterhouse located near the carinderia of Anthony Solares (where Killua was found). However, the claim of test inaccuracy and contamination was refuted by experts, particularly by Dr. Josen Sumeldan, Medical Director of Biyaya Animal Care. - Despite testing positive for rabies, PAWS, along with dog owner Vina Arazas, decided to push through with the filing of a case against Anthony Solares. - In a recent interview with News 5 (YT: News5Everywhere), when asked about the issue of the positive rabies test, Vina Arazas stated that the anti-rabies vaccine shots were not administered by licensed veterinarians but rather by her siblings (who are allegedly in the medical field). She acknowledged the error of this practice and concluded her statement by saying that only licensed veterinarians should administer vaccines for pets.
This concludes the facts that have been laid out so far. I do not expect any more significant details to surface due to the now legal nature of the controversy. I hope everybody is now more informed about the situation.

2023.12.20 21:51 CreativeCritical247 Did Polish Writer Stanisław Lem and Russian Director Andrei Tarkovsky started the "Surreal Strange Psychological Philosophical Fantastical Science Fiction" Genre like SCAVENGER REIGN?

Eden (1958) by Stanisław Lem
According to my research Polish Writer Stanisław Lem and Russian Director Andrei Tarkovsky may have been the forefathers who started the concept/ideas/style of Scavenger Reign.
Earthlings landing on a strange mysterious planet that distorts their realities and sanity, challenges their worldview and question their humanity during their odd exploration....
And auteurs Jean Giraud/Mœbius & René Laloux are most likely responsible for creating/popularizing the vibrant colorful bizaare visual aesthetic for Sci-Fi stories like SR.
Do you think otherwise? Any other suggestions?

2023.11.12 06:46 jacobean___ Il Sogno del Marinaio - A Tribute to Miles Cooper Seaton (EP)

This is a gorgeous and beautiful and thoroughly cohesive selection of a few pieces in honor and tribute to a legend of the experimental scene and sound. It’s certainly worth a half hour of time.
Mike Watt plays bass(and plays with some Tom Waits-like vocals), Andrea Belfi does percussion and electronics, and Stefano Pilia plays guitars and synths.

All the weather issues lately at EWR leading up to our flight had us a little anxious. But arrived early enough to take advantage of food from the Polaris lounge (6PM flight, 5 min wait for dinner!)
Food on the flight was decent for me, but my wife’s veg option (stir fried veggies) was awful - not pictured. And also, I don’t understand why they give a non veg app with a veg option.
Left 15 mins late, but arrived on time. Now chillin in the arrivals lounge!
So just wanted to share a successful trip among all the bad news lately.

2005 - Michael is being sued for $48 million in fees by a financial firm that claims they're owed money for assistance in refinancing bank debts and claiming a larger stake in a library of The Beatles songs. The company, Prescient Acquisition Group (also known as Prescient Capital Corp), filed a lawsuit in the US District Court in Manhattan. According to the lawsuit, the company was employed by Jackson’s MJ Publishing Trust in November 2004 to help him secure financing of $537.5 million through another company. The money from the refinancing allowed Michael to pay off bank debts and buy the other half of The Beatles library of songs, which he did not already own. The company has claimed that Jackson and MJ Publishing Trust have not honored a deal which was agreed, promising Prescient fees worth 9% of the completed financing.

2009 - Only weeks after Michael's death, actor Rupert Everett, attending the 11th Annual Broadway Barks in NYC became the rare celebrity to slam MJ saying:

"I think it was fortuitous that he died. He was supposed to be doing 50 concerts in London. It wouldn't have mattered how good or bad he was. He wouldn't have managed to do all of them and the press would have destroyed him..."He was a freak. He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel. He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation – that killed him...You cannot divide the music from the person. I think his life – and death – is a great lesson. I think we are going to see the end of celebrity as we know it."

Everett, who is gay, did manage to say something positive MJ– sort of. "I would have leapt at the chance of sleeping with Michael Jackson when I was 14," he said
Shame on you, Mr Everett!!
2013 - Jackson vs AEG Trial Day 47
Katherine Jackson is in court.
The judge reversed her earlier decision not allowing Jacksons to show the handwritten notes based on hearsay. Jacksons' attorney Debra Chang successfully argued that the notes would be admissible under state and federal evidence code 1250. Chang said there's an exception if it reflects a feeling, emotional or physical reaction. Judge agreed. One note reads:
Tohme away from my $ now No contact Where's my house (underlined twice)
Taj Jackson Testimony
Jackson direct
Deborah Chang, attorney for the Jacksons, doing direct examination.
Plaintiff's attorney Deborah Chang did the questioning and asked for a refresher on his role in the family. Taj is Tito Jackson's oldest son and Michael's nephew. He described Michael "father figure" to him & his brothers

Taj: "Some people would argue we were his (MJ) children before he had his children.He was definitely our mentor, everything we did in life we kind of geared to what he was doing"

Taj said he has several handwritten notes from Michael that he saved as keepsakes. Note MJ wrote:

"Taj, I love you all and am proud of you. PS. please rehearse"

Taj said it is written in a Neverland stationary, has the logo at the bottom. "He wrote various notes to me like this," Taj said. "That was probably from my mom telling him we were not rehearsing that much." Taj was the piano player. Michael bought him his first instruments
Chang showed a picture of Michael getting his Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Taj and TJ were present
Taj gave lots of recollections about his uncle and how he mentored him. "He was a perfectionist when it came to his craft, whatever it was"; He recounted how Jackson sang with 3T on "I Need You"; He said his uncle came into 3T's studio to record vocals after his own session. Taj said Michael's voice was spent from recording a rock song that day, but he performed his part of the song in one take. He also recounted his uncle working with his nephews to teach them about what makes great music. Jackson played the song "She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals for Taj, his brothers, so they could learn to listen to music. Taj also mentioned that his uncle kept up with new artists and liked finding new collaborators. He cited MJ's song with Akon
Taj said Michael would ask him to watch his kids when needed. He was also in charge of Michael's storage. "It would be foolish not to ask his advise," Taj said, explaining they could, and would, ask anything they wanted. "He picked out a lot of our songs, some we didn't like that much and he told us why they were important," Taj testified.
Taj: "He was a perfectionist when it came to his craft. He would study, study, study, and tell us to study the greatest, top 10 singers. "The demo sounded a little old-fashioned, we couldn't hear what he was hearing," Taj said about the "I Need You" song. Taj said they were recording down the street from Michael's recording studio. His uncle lent his voice to the end of the song.

Taj: "What's most amazing, it was all in one take, he didn't try again, all you hear was all in one take"

The song "I Need You" was a success for them. Chang played a snippet of the music video. Michael was not a part of it, just his voice. "We were always trying to do what our uncle was doing," Taj said, mentioning the choir in the song. Taj said Michael would tell him 'you have to carry on the legacy, carry on the torch when I retire.' Michael taught Taj and his siblings to listen to the same music several times and hear different instruments each time. "I don't want to give out too many secrets," Taj said, laughing.

Taj: "For him it was about studying, that's what we learned as well. I started at 12 years old, but didn't start 3T until I was about 19"

Taj said he and Michael share their mutual love for music and movies. They would watch it in different ways, once without sound, then with sound. "It was kind of intimidating to me," Taj said, since he didn't know much about movies and said he needed to learn a lot to become a filmmaker. Taj said the robot transformer in the Moonwalker film was in their honor, because they loved the transformers. "He was constantly studying and reading about directing, he knew it back and forth and would test us," Taj said. Michael hired a USC professor to teach him movie directing. Taj said the children also learned from the professor. Taj said Michael loved King Tut, he loved Egypt, Egyptian culture. Michael wanted him to study 3D, Taj said, since he loved the technology and wanted to do things with it. He wanted Taj to master it. Captain EO was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and is playing at Disneyland. It's a 3D science fiction film with Michael's music
Taj said he would stay with his uncle weeks at times. He said he lived at Neverland for about a year, majority of the time with his uncle. Taj said he witnessed Michael writing notes to himself. He said he learned it from his uncle and keeps notes to himself nowadays. "He liked to conduct meetings usually over the phone," Taj said. Michael would keep the phone on speaker so Taj would learn the business dealings. Taj estimated over 100 meetings over the phone, probably over 20 in person. Michael believed in "What you conceive, you believe, you achieve," Taj testified. Taj said Michael would write down his ideas and what he wanted to achieve. He would see his uncle write on anything he could write. Chang showed picture of a mirror with several notes hang on it. "Michael was very sentimental," Taj said. Taj said Michael kept several items as mementos. Taj ran through a window at Neverland when he was 3 and Michael kept the blanket he was wrapped in
Taj said some of the notes and writings Michael kept were sentimental. This included keeping his sister Janet's report card. They showed some of Jackson's inspirational notes, which included one that read, "Love No Violence Ever". He said he saw hundreds of these notes, both when he lived at Neverland Ranch for a year and after his uncle's death at his mansion. There were several notes that Taj authenticated were written by his uncle, but they weren't shown to the jury. AEG Live wants to argue against allowing the notes to be shown to the jury. Jackson's attorneys want them shown. The notes will be used by an expert for the plaintiffs who will estimate the damages if AEG Live is found liable in the case
Taj explained the system Michael had in his life. Types of Documents

Inspirational ("Law of Attraction")
Loving Keepsakes (notes)
"To Do" Topics to Cover During Meetings to Have Others Do.

Taj said after Michael died he went to Carolwood house to collect some of MJ's belongings. He said he wanted to keep them for his cousins. Taj said when his mother died, he lost a lot of things either in storage or they were auctioned off and it was very painful for them. Taj retrieved a box of documents from Michael's storage. The attorneys stipulated some of the notes were MJ's handwriting
Taj said he's familiar with Paris' handwriting, has seen her doing homework. Note from Paris to Michael:

"Dear Daddy, I love you so much & I'm so happy I got a goodnight hug. Sleep well, I love you & good night. I'll see you tomorrow! XOX, goodnight and lots of love. Paris Jackson"

Note Michael wrote to himself:

"Words of Blanket my son 6 years young "What's your favorite letter Daddy? Mine is "G" for God and "D" for Daddy" Age 6. Blanket"

AEG Cross
AEG attorney, Kathryn Cahan, is doing cross examination.
Taj said he was the one family member who spent the most time with Michael (out of his cousins and extended family.) Taj visited Michael on every tour he did: Triumph, Victory, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory. He stayed at the hotels with Michael, went to his room
She asked Taj about all the time he spent around Jackson. She asked Taj about staying with his uncle on tours. Cahan asked if he ever saw drugs in his uncle's hotel rooms. Taj said no and he never saw MJ use drugs, or under the influence of any meds

Cahan: "Did you ever see any signs of Michael using drugs?"
Taj: "No"

Cahan then asked how often Taj saw his uncle in late 2008-2009. Taj said he saw him once at Bel-Air hotel, and again at an anniversary party. Taj also said he talked to his uncle when he was trying to stop an auction of his possessions
In 2008, Michael was living in Las Vegas. Taj saw him regularly during that time. "He was definitely happy and healthy, yes," Taj testified. Taj said that after living in Neverland, Michael went overseas and then to Las Vegas. Taj saw Michael maybe twice, when he was at the Bel Air Hotel.
"I didn't even know he had moved," Taj said about MJ moving in to Carolwood house in 2008. The last time Taj saw Michael alive was in May of 2009 during his grandparent's 60th anniversary party. He never went to the Carolwood house. Taj said that when they learned Michael was going on tour, they stayed away and gave him space. They knew they could be a distraction for him
"I know Michael was on the phone once to stop an auction," Taj said. Taj heard Michael was recording an album from the news or family members. The album started in 2008, Taj said. "He was constantly recording and writing," Taj said. "He juggled a lot of things." Cahan asked how Taj knew Michael was recording new music. He said he thought he heard about it on the news or from relatives. Taj added that Jackson was always working on new music. "I don't think he would have stopped recording"
Cahan asked several questions about storage lockers that Michael wanted his nephew Taj to be responsible for. Taj said his uncle wanted him to be responsible for the storage lockers and wanted to transfer them into his name. He said his family lost many of his mother's possessions after she was killed due to a lien, and his uncle didn't want the same to happen. One of the facilities, the largest, housed items from Neverland Ranch. Two smaller ones had personal keepsakes, Taj said. Asked why Jackson would want his possessions transferred over, Taj said there were "very few people my uncle trusted. He had been betrayed his whole life. He knew he could trust me". He reluctantly agreed to let his uncle pay him to take care of the storage units

Taj: "A company sued our family for not performing at a certain event and they put a lien on the storage. The storage unit got tied up and unfortunately we became the victims of it"

Taj said Michael had sentimental things in storage that he wanted to keep for his children. Taj said the storage was full with stuff from Neverland. It had furniture, arts, arcade games. MJ had 2 storage lockers. One in Vegas is half of the size of the courtroom (30x37 feet) and the one in Buellton was at least 4 times bigger. Cahan asked if Taj was being paid to take care of MJ's storage. He said at first he didn't want to get paid, but Michael insisted
"Everyone else is making money off of me, I want to take care of my family," Taj said Michael told him
Taj said he doesn't think Michael wanted to live at Neverland again. "It felt violated in a way, the purity of it. It didn't feel the same"
Taj doesn't know when he went to Carolwood house. Rebbie and her daughter, Janet, Katherine, possibly Trent and 1 of his brothers were there. Taj doesn't remember seeing La Toya that day. "It's a time I'd rather forget," Taj said. Taj testified the house seemed normal, not messy. Taj went to Michael's bedroom on the second floor. Cahan asked if Michael was messy. Taj said he wasn't trying to defend his uncle, but understood him. "When you travel a lot, living out of luggage, it's messy," Taj testified. "It looks like my place now," Taj said, laughing.

Taj: "The idea of going there was to preserve the stuff. It's something someone can sell on eBay for hundreds of thousands of dollars"

He said it could be seen it was documents, that he threw in some stuff as well, but 95% of the stuff was already in the box. Taj said he only stayed in his uncle's master bedroom, closet and bathroom. "The box was given to me in the master bedroom, I just assumed the documents were from that area," Taj said. "It was traumatic enough to be in that room so I just wanted to get out of there quickly," Taj recalled. Taj doesn't remember who handed him the box. It was a cardboard storage box.
There was a lot of discussion about the box, and then Cahan moved on to questions about two computers that Taj received at a later time
Taj took the box to his house. He said he skimmed through some of the documents. This was in the Summer of 2009. Taj turned over the box of documents to Sandra Ribera, one of the Jacksons attorney early this year. The lawsuit was filed in 2010, Cahan said.

Taj: "I don't even know if they remembered I had the box. I protected that box with my life"

He kept it hidden in his closet of his house
Taj said he was given two computers from the Carolwood house. One was a computer with music, one was a computer used by the security team, Taj said. "Jeffrey Phillips, business partner of my aunt La Toya, gave him the computers", Taj said. He was at the Hayvenhurst house. "He handed them to me," Taj said. They were Mac Towers. Taj is not sure whether he got the screen as well or not.

Taj: "It was known Estate was looking for music for Michael's new album. I'm assuming Jeffrey knew I was helping the Estate out in that aspect of it"

Taj is still working with Michael's Estate.

Taj: "I turned 1 of them on, it had music files. Turned the other one on and had log in request, with Mr. Amir's name, asking for a password"

Taj could not access it, since he didn't have the password. "The Estate was looking for 4 hard drives with music in it," Taj said. He thought that's what was being given to him. The music computer was given to the executors of Michael's estate, Taj said. Taj said he called Michael Amir Williams but the password he gave him didn't work. Michael Amir said there was no music in that computer. The Estate, thus, was not interested in the security computer. Taj said he left the security computer at Hayvenhurst house. He hasn't seen the computer since. Cahan asked a couple more questions about the security computer, but moved on
Cahan asked Taj about his uncle's movie aspirations. Taj said the last time he saw his uncle, Michael told him, "After this, we're doing films"; Jackson's statement was made in May 2009 at a 60th anniversary party for Joe and Katherine Jackson.
"I think when This Is It ended, he would've shifted his focus to films primarily," Taj said. Michael's son, Prince, was going to make movies with them too. "I'm sure more powerful people would be involved too, not just us", Taj said. "His last words to me: After this, we're doing films," Taj recalled. Cahan asked if Michael ever told him he wanted to partner with Kenny Ortega, not him, to make "Thriller" 3D movie.

Taj: "I'm sure he would partner with, he wanted to partner with Peter Jackson at one point. I wasn't exclusive to him"

Cahan asked a few questions about Taj's music career, then moved on to questions about Michael's kids. Cahan asked about Taj's relationship with Prince, Paris and Blanket. He said he has been there for them since their father died. The last 3T album was in 2003. "We dropped everything after Michael passed to be with his kids," Taj explained. "Code Z was kind of my homage to my uncle," Taj said. "We did kind of a zombie tribute to him." It was a fake trailer, not made into a movie yet.
Taj said he was planning to go to London to see his uncle Michael performing.
Michael had his own record label, MJJ. Taj said MJ was concerned in putting 3T under his label in case something went wrong they would blame him
Taj has spent a lot of time with Michael's children after his passing. "We've been a unit," Taj said.
The attorney then asked about Debbie Rowe and whether she had become involved in the children's lives recently.

Taj: "From what I know, yes"
Cahan: "She's Prince and Paris' mother, yes?"
Taj: "Biological mother, yes"

Taj said Rowe had started a relationship with Paris, as far as he knew. The plaintiffs then asked for a sidebar.
Plaintiffs asked for sidebar since judge ruled that no parentage question were to be asked. AEG said Debbie Rowe is the kids' biological mom. Judge read admonition to jury. She said there was a question regarding the status of Debbie Rowe's relationship with the children. Judge said they are only to consider the relationship between Michael and the children when assessing damages, if any. The plaintiff's side had said before going into chambers that the mention of Rowe's status was a violation of a pretrial order. After court, AEG Live defense attorney Marvin Putnam said it was paternity that was subject to the order
Cahan asked Taj if he thinks Grace Rwamba is a truthful person. "Yes," Taj answered. Grace Rwamba was the children's nanny. Cahan then showed Taj a tweet he sent in 2011. "That's not the same Grace," Taj said. "That was Nancy Grace!" Everyone started laughing.
Taj was released subject to recall.

Michael could have performed at any other stadium but decided to perform at the Reichstag to send a message of peace & unity.
The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic between East Berlin and West Berlin ran just behind the Reichstag, starting August 13, 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany & from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed the death strip that contained anti-vehicle trenches, fakir beds and other defenses. The fall of the Wall started on the evening of November 9, 1989 was the first step toward German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990
Michael wrote a poem dedicated to this historic day for his 1992 book, Dancing The Dream, titled simply: “Berlin 1989”

2013 - Jackson vs AEG Trial Day 33
Jackson family is not at court.
Kai Chase Testimony
AEG cross
Michael's personal chef Kai Chase is on the stand for the 2nd day. AEG's attorney Jessica Stebbins Bina is doing cross examination
Stebbins Bina asked Chase about whether she ever saw any of Jackson's other doctors. Chase replied "No". Chase was asked about Dr. Allan Metzer and dermatologist Arnold Klein. Chase said she never met Dr. Alan Metzger, another physician who treated Michael. She was also asked about nurse Cherilyn Lee.
Bina asked why Chase never told the police or testified at Dr. Murray's trial about the meeting at Michael's house. She said she wasn't asked. Stebbins Bina then asked Chase why she didn't mention the meeting in which a vase was broken to police. Chase said they didn't ask. The lawyer said the first time Chase mentioned the vase being broken was in her deposition in October 2012

Bina: "First time you mentioned the meeting was in your deposition in Oct 2012?"
Chase: "Yes"

At that point, Bina pointed out Chase was already working for Mrs. Jackson
Gongaware, DiLeo, Phillips, MJ and Dr. Murray were present in the meeting.
Chase was then asked about her description of Jackson at the meeting, that he wore a surgical mask and layers of clothes.

Bina: "You testified Mr. Jackson was wearing surgical mask and layers and layers of clothing, correct?"
Chase: "Yes"

Bina said she didn't mention the surgical mask or layers of clothing before. "I described his emotions, yes," Chase explained. "You could just see the fears in his eyes. He looked scared," Chase said. "They didn't ask for that and I didn't say it." The chef testified yesterday that Jackson looked afraid going into that meeting. She was again asked why she didn't mention details before.

Bina: "Did you think it was important to mention Michael was wearing a surgical mask during your deposition?"
Chase: "I said what I said"

"I didn't know why he was wearing that, it was pretty strange, he had not worn that in the house before," Chase said about the surgical mask

Bina: "And it wasn't important enough to tell anybody before testifying yesterday, correct?"
Chase: "Yes"
Bina: "Did you ever mention before yesterday that Mr. Jackson was cold in that meeting?"
Chase: "Yes!"

Chase said she saw Michael cold once
"Mr. Jackson was very scared at that meeting," Chase testified. But she said Michael didn't tell her he was fearful, never spoke to her about it.
Chase reiterated that she didn't know who broke the vase during the meeting, only heard one statement from Frank Dileo. Chase wasn't allowed to testify about what Dileo said. She said she didn't mention it to police or during Murray's criminal proceedings. Chase said she overheard bits and pieces of the meeting since she was in and out of the room filling up beverages. "I heard what Mr. DiLeo had stated," Chase explained. Judge sustained objection about it being hearsay, so what DiLeo said was not repeated. Chase said she also told during her deposition about the voices being raised in the meeting; she said she does not know who broke the vase. As to Dr Murray leaving the meeting, Chase said he was so angry and upset, stormed into the kitchen, blurted out 'I can't handle this s**t.' Chase never talked to Dr. Murray after this episode to ask him what had happened that made him so upset. Bina asked if she knew the reason Dr. Murray was upset was because of the meeting. "No, I don't, but I was assuming it had to do with the meeting because he was coming out of it and left," Chase said.
"They are killing me, I'm working too hard" Chase said Michael expressed. Bina asked if it was a figure of speech she said she took it for what he said. Michaeltalked to Chase about the This Is It tour. "He was excited about everything," Chase said. "When he stated I'm being overworked, they are killing me, that was an indication he was tired," Chase explained. "He was tired, he needed a rest, a break"
Bina played Chase's deposition, where she said Michael didn't give her any indication he was trying to avoid this concert at all. "He was excited about going to this tour," Chase said. "I too was excited, for him, for his fans, for everyone"
Chase understood she was hired by Michael but was going to be paid by AEG Live. The chef said she didn't know anything about Michael paying AEG back for her salary

Bina: "You understood you were let go in April for financial reasons?"
Chase: "Yes"

Chase was paid every week. She had to file a claim against Michael's estate to be paid for the month of June, 2009. She has been paid in full
The credit card that was declined belonged to Michael Amir Williams, Chase said.

"I didn't know what was going on," Chase explained about Michael's eating in May. "I assumed they possibly had food brought in"

Bina talked about the day Michael died. Chase said she got Prince because it was such a serious matter. Chase said she didn't think it would make sense to stop what she was doing to go out of the house and look for security. After getting Prince, Chase returned to work. At some point, Chase and the housekeepers were told to leave the house. "We were asked to leave, the paramedics was still there," Chase said. Chase asked Alberto Alvarez, Michael's security guard, if Michael was ok? She said he told her he would be fine
She testified about Alberto Alvarez asking her to leave the mansion. She said before she left, Alvarez asked her to sign a one-paragraph document, but she doesn't know what it was. Chase said other staffers in Jackson's house signed confidentiality agreements, but what she signed wasn't a confidentiality agreement. Alvarez asked Chase if she ever signed a confidentiality agreement. She said she had not, but Chase believes the housekeepers had. Alvarez asked Chase to sign something on the spot. "He asked me to sign some sort of a paragraph not on letterhead," Chase explained. Chase signed it but said she can't remember what it said. She then left the house. That was the last time she was at the Carolwood house

Bina: "Did it require you to keep things confidential?"
Chase: "It never said that"

At this point, Stebbins Bina wanted to show Chase a post on CNN's website. The lawyer called it a blog Chase wrote for Larry King. It sounded like a news story, and Chase denied she wrote it. There was a sidebar about showing it to the jury. After the sidebar, Stebbins Bina asked several more questions about it, continuing to call it a blog post that Chase wrote. Chase kept denying it, eventually telling the jury she had a blog called 'Nibble by Kai Chase'. Chase: "I'm telling you that this is not mine. And I'm telling you this, in a nice way". She was clearly annoyed by this point. There were more questions about the post, and Chase said, "I didn't write a blog for Larry King, sweetheart". Stebbins Bina asked Chase to use professional language. The chef turned to the jury and said, "I didn't write a blog for Larry King"

Bina: "Did you tell Mr. King during the time you fed him well and he ate well?"
Chase: "Yes, when I was feeding him, yes"
Bina: "That he ate well, organic foods?"
Chase: "Yes. He ate well because I fed him well. Overall, Mr. Jackson ate well."
Chase: "He ate well because the foods I prepared him, which were healthy, well-nutritious foods. That's what I mean when I said he ate well"
Bina: "He had poor appetite, but ate well?"
Chase: "He ate well, healthy foods"

There were questions about the children''s bedtimes. Stebbins Bina asked Chase how many times she was at the house at the kids' bedtime. Chase said it fluctuated the hours she left. She said Michael was a strict father, the kids had to go to bed on time. "Sometimes he would be there with his children, but schedule changed," Chase said. "I was there every day," Chase explained, saying she didn't go upstairs, so she didn't see Michael tuck the kids in bed. Chase said he would do school nights, weekends, sometimes he came home late and would let the kids stay up. "He was a parent, that's what you do" Chase said she couldn't give a percentage of time she was there for bedtimes.
Stebbins Bina then challenged Chase on her contention that Paris Jackson hadn't had any birthday parties since 2009. Chase conceded that she hadn't been present for Paris' birthday since 2009, but Paris told her she didn't like celebrations. Stebbins Bina asked about a 2010 party Paris apparently had at a roller rink. Chase said she was relying on what Paris told her. Chase visited the kids at the Hayvenhurst house a couple of times, two or three, between 2009-12.
"I talked about the food and the love he had for his children," Chase said about paid interviews after Michael's death
"I don't know if he was terminating employment, but he made all the staff leave," Chase said about Alvarez asking them to leave on June 25
In 2012, Chase was re-hired by Mrs. Jackson. They speak daily now, but never spoke before Michael died. Chase never saw her at Michael's house. Chase is currently being paid by Mrs. Jackson. She makes about the same amount of money from when she worked with Michael
Bina asked if Mrs Jackson gave Chase a birthday present this year. The chef said no, since she doesn't celebrate dates being Jehovah's Witness

Bina: "She didn't send you to the MJ Immortal show?"
Chase: "She gave me a pair a tickets"
Bina: "Do you have a twitter account?"
Chase: "Yes"

Bina showed a tweet Chase posted. Tweet:

"Going to see the MJ Immortal Cirque Du Soleil show tonight. What a wonderful pre-birthday gift. Thank you Katherine Jackson"

Chase said Mrs. Jackson doesn't celebrate dates, but the chef considered it a pre-birthday gift for herself
Chase worked as a chef for Mary J. Blige sporadically after Michael died. She did not have a steady job, had help from family and friends financially
In April 2012, Chase received a subpoena from AEG Live. In July 2012, Chase was contacted to work back with Mrs. Jackson. Sandra Ribera, Jackson's lawyer, called Chase asking if she wanted to go back to work for her. Ribera also acted as Chase's attorney in her deposition. In Oct 2012, deposition was taken. Chase does not know who paid Ribera to accompany her in her depo.
Chase met with Chang, attorney for the Jacksons, for about an hour a month ago, another hour a week ago and briefly yesterday.

Bina: "Are you afraid that if you don't testify in the right way in this trial Mrs. Jackson may fire you?"
Chase: "No"
Bina: "Did that never cross your mind?"
Chase: "No, that's absurd"

Jackson redirect
Jacksons attorney Deborah Chang did re-direct.

Chang: "Do you know if Ms. Ribera hires all staff for Mrs. Jackson?"
Chase: "Yes"
Chang: "Do you know if Ms. Ribera handles payroll for Mrs. Jackson?"
Chase: "Yes"

Chase said the children requested her to come back to work at the house.

Chang: "Have you and Mrs. Jackson discussed this lawsuit?"
Chase: "No"
Chang: "Have you seen Mrs. Jackson threaten to fire anyone who didn't testify in the right way in this trial?"
Chase: "No"

Chase said Michael Amir told her he was 23 years old. She asked his age because she thought he was the client. Chase said she's 45. "He was the librarian at Neverland and he used to alphabetize DVDs with his father," Chase worked with Culinary Staffing, an agency that does a lot of background on people before setting up meeting with client, to find work. Chase's resume was 4 pages long, including her experience, schooling and references
She filled out AEG paperwork for working permit in the UK. The form asked about criminal background, citations, financial information. Chase filled it out and gave it to Michael Amir
Chase said the 'unspoken rule' that staff who questioned why they weren't being paid would get fired came from Michael Amir Williams. The chef said she never discussed missed paychecks with Jackson, and was never told by the singer not to go upstairs

Chang: "Did Michael ever tell you not to go upstairs?"
Chase: "No"
Chang: "Did Michael ever tell you not to go in his bedroom?"
Chase: "No"
Chang: "Did MJ ever tell you not to ask him about payment?"
Chase: "No"

"I was crying because it was beautiful to see him with his children," Chase said about watching Paris and MJ celebrate her birthday in 2009. Chase said she wasn't thinking about getting paid, since she had just started working for Michael. Paris' actual birthday is April 3. Her first paycheck came in on time, Chase said.
Regarding Paris deposition, Chase said her statement surprised her. "She seems just lost, she seems to just be grieving, missing her father". Chase:
"I knew that she was very, she was very close with Grace when she was young"
Chase said Paris has a feeling of abandonment, which is probably part of the reason she was angry with Grace. Chase said Grace was a very big support for her, very loving, helped her with the kids. "They were just best friends, very, very deep relationship," Chase said about Michael and Grace Rwamba.

Chang: "Did you believe she was protective over Michael and the children?"
Chase: "Yes"
Chang: "And she was let go?"
Chase: "Yes. The children felt abandoned, they weren't happy, they were upset"
Chang: "Do you know if Grace kept in contact with Michael?"
Chase: "I don't know"
Chang: "Do you know Michael created a foundation for her to work?"
Chase: "I've heard"

Chase said she heard Grace was going to the UK to prepare things for Michael and the children.

Chang: "Paris has gone through a difficult period over the past 2 weeks?"
Chase: "Yes...She's turned to her grandmother, she's turned to Grace and she's turned to her biological mother Debbie Rowe"
Chang: "Did you ever see Dr. Murray make a special mineral-enriched shake for Michael?"
Chase: "No, I did not"

Chase made a variety of organic juices for Michael and the children
Chase said she was not aware of Dr. Murray spending the night in April. She was never asked to prepare food for him then. Chase said she spoke with Michael Amir about MJ being skinny, and he indicated he had the same concerns
Chase testified she gave an interview to LAPD 4 days after Michael's death and didn't think it was relevant to mention the meeting in mid June. "What they wanted to know was what happened that day," Chase explained. Chang showed Chase a transcript of criminal trial, where Chase said she was never asked what Michael was wearing in the June meeting.

Chang: "Did Paris want to leave her father (on June 25th)?"
Chase: "Paris was so emotional that day"

Chase said there was a lot of screaming and crying.

Chase: "We were literally pulling her down the stairs, they had her by her ankles, she was going upstairs calling daddy, daddy, daddy!!!"

Chase said she didn't want to leave, but was told to leave. "Who was going to be there with them? I knew they loved me and wanted me there"
Chase worked with Michael for about eight weeks, knew Grace Rwamba for about two weeks
AEG recross

Bina: "Any reason to believe Paris wasn't truthful when she was testifying about her conversation with her father?"
Chase: "No"

Regarding the company they used to hire Chase, she said she had known this company for years, she used them for her own catering company.

Bina: "So the company knew you, didn't have to do financial background on you?"
Chase: "No"
Chase: "I didn't say I had financial struggles"
Bina: "But you said you had family and friends helping?"
Chase: "Yes, they helped me financially"

Chase said the kids wanted her back.

Bina: "Do you know why it took 3 years for them to ask you back?"
Chase: "I guess there were other employees"

Bina asked if the form Chase filled out to work in the UK was given to all the employees. She said yes, but doesn't know abut Dr. Murray.

Chang: "Did Mrs. Jackson ever offer you $150k to provide medical care for her?"
Chase: "No"

Then judge asked "How about for food?"
Everyone laughed, Chase said "No"
Video deposition of AEG's retained addiction specialist, Dr. Paul Henry Earley
Dr. Earley said he's getting paid $300 an hour for research and $500 an hour for deposition. Dr. Earley is an addiction medicine specialist, care for individuals with substance abuse and disorders. He became board certified the first year the test became available. Dr. Earley first training was in neurology, then psychotherapy. The doctor has been working in this field for 28 years

Kevin Boyle: "Are you qualified to treat patients who have addiction?"
Dr Earley: "I am"

Dr. Earley said he treated patients with Propofol addiction, and is qualified to treat patients with benzodiazepine addiction. Dr. Earley is now involved in long-term treatment of physicians with addiction problems.
Dr. Earley explained what "Enabler" is, when someone is feeding the addiction of an addict. "Addiction is a disease of secrecy, often times enablers don't see it" Dr. Earley testified. "I thinks Dr Murray was trying to help Michael sleep"

Boyle: "Was it ok for Dr. Murray to give Propofol to Michael at home?"
Dr. Earley: "No, that was medically incorrect"

Dr. Earley said he would not have done it. "Propofol is not an appropriate agent for sleep induction."
Dr. Earley testified that under the circumstances, he doesn't think he could've done a better job with Michael in terms of recovery. Dr. Earley explained that in the hospital if patient goes into deep sleep, there are machines to help the patient breath and control blood pressure.
When asked if he thought Michael had a substance issue, Dr. Earley was adamant:

"In 2009, he did have an addiction, yes. I think he clearly had an addiction to opioids, that class of drugs. I don't think there's sufficient evidence from the record reading to ascertain he was addicted to Propofol or benzodiazepine. The primary drug of his (MJ) addiction was Demerol, by far the most common opioid he took. Michael's death wasn't caused by Demerol directly, there's a question if Demerol created synergy with Propofol and benzodiazepine"

2023.05.27 05:49 thegarmeyo69420 Longest word in English

Longest word in English List of longest words in the English language
The identity of the longest word in English depends on the definition of a word and of length.
Words may be derived naturally from the language's roots or formed by coinage and construction. Additionally, comparisons are complicated because place names may be considered words, technical terms may be arbitrarily long, and the addition of suffixes and prefixes may extend the length of words to create grammatically correct but unused or novel words.
The length of a word may also be understood in multiple ways. Most commonly, length is based on orthography (conventional spelling rules) and counting the number of written letters. Alternate, but less common, approaches include phonology (the spoken language) and the number of phonemes (sounds).
More information Word, Letters ... Major dictionaries The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters), a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis. The word was deliberately coined to be the longest word in English, and has since been used[citation needed] in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.
The Oxford English Dictionary contains pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary does not contain antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters), as the editors found no widespread, sustained usage of the word in its original meaning. The longest word in that dictionary is electroencephalographically (27 letters).
The longest non-technical word in major dictionaries is floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Consisting of a series of Latin words meaning "nothing" and defined as "the act of estimating something as worthless"; its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741.
Ross Eckler has noted that most of the longest English words are not likely to occur in general text, meaning non-technical present-day text seen by casual readers, in which the author did not specifically intend to use an unusually long word. According to Eckler, the longest words likely to be encountered in general text are deinstitutionalization and counterrevolutionaries, with 22 letters each.
A computer study of over a million samples of normal English prose found that the longest word one is likely to encounter on an everyday basis is uncharacteristically, at 20 letters.
The word internationalization is abbreviated "i18n", the embedded number representing the number of letters between the first and the last.
Creations of long words Coinages In his play Assemblywomen (Ecclesiazousae), the ancient Greek comedic playwright Aristophanes created a word of 171 letters (183 in the transliteration below), which describes a dish by stringing together its ingredients:
Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon. Henry Carey's farce Chrononhotonthologos (1743) holds the opening line: "Aldiborontiphoscophornio! Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?"
Thomas Love Peacock put these creations into the mouth of the phrenologist Mr. Cranium in his 1816 book Headlong Hall: osteosarchaematosplanchnochondroneuromuelous (44 characters) and osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullary (51 characters).
James Joyce made up nine 100-letter words plus one 101-letter word in his novel Finnegans Wake, the most famous of which is Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk. Appearing on the first page, it allegedly represents the symbolic thunderclap associated with the fall of Adam and Eve. As it appears nowhere else except in reference to this passage, it is generally not accepted as a real word. Sylvia Plath made mention of it in her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, when the protagonist was reading Finnegans Wake.
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", the 34-letter title of a song from the movie Mary Poppins, does appear in several dictionaries, but only as a proper noun defined in reference to the song title. The attributed meaning is "a word that you say when you don't know what to say." The idea and invention of the word is credited to songwriters Robert and Richard Sherman.
Agglutinative constructions The English language permits the legitimate extension of existing words to serve new purposes by the addition of prefixes and suffixes. This is sometimes referred to as agglutinative construction. This process can create arbitrarily long words: for example, the prefixes pseudo (false, spurious) and anti (against, opposed to) can be added as many times as desired. More familiarly, the addition of numerous "great"s to a relative, such as "great-great-great-great-grandparent", can produce words of arbitrary length. In musical notation, an 8192nd note may be called a semihemidemisemihemidemisemihemidemisemiquaver.
Antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest common example of a word formed by agglutinative construction.
Technical terms Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides A number of scientific naming schemes can be used to generate arbitrarily long words.
The IUPAC nomenclature for organic chemical compounds is open-ended, giving rise to the 189,819-letter chemical name Methionylthreonylthreonyl . . . isoleucine for the protein also known as titin, which is involved in striated muscle formation. In nature, DNA molecules can be much bigger than protein molecules and therefore potentially be referred to with much longer chemical names. For example, the wheat chromosome 3B contains almost 1 billion base pairs, so the sequence of one of its strands, if written out in full like Adenilyladenilylguanilylcystidylthymidyl . . . , would be about 8 billion letters long. The longest published word, Acetylseryltyrosylseryliso . . . serine, referring to the coat protein of a certain strain of tobacco mosaic virus (P03575), is 1,185 letters long, and appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts Service in 1964 and 1966. In 1965, the Chemical Abstracts Service overhauled its naming system and started discouraging excessively long names. In 2011, a dictionary broke this record with a 1909-letter word describing the trpA protein (P0A877).
John Horton Conway and Landon Curt Noll developed an open-ended system for naming powers of 10, in which one sexmilliaquingentsexagintillion, coming from the Latin name for 6560, is the name for 103(6560+1) = 1019683. Under the long number scale, it would be 106(6560) = 1039360.
Gammaracanthuskytodermogammarus loricatobaicalensis is sometimes cited as the longest binomial name—it is a kind of amphipod. However, this name, proposed by B. Dybowski, was invalidated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature in 1929 after being petitioned by Mary J. Rathbun to take up the case.
Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis is the longest accepted binomial name for an organism. It is a bacterium found in soil collected at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (discussed below). Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides is the longest accepted binomial name for any animal, or any organism visible with the naked eye. It is a species of soldier fly. The genus name Parapropalaehoplophorus (a fossil glyptodont, an extinct family of mammals related to armadillos) is two letters longer, but does not contain a similarly long species name.
Aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic, at 52 letters, describing the spa waters at Bath, England, is attributed to Dr. Edward Strother (1675–1737). The word is composed of the following elements:
Aequeo: equal (Latin, aequo) Salino: containing salt (Latin, salinus) Calcalino: calcium (Latin, calx) Ceraceo: waxy (Latin, cera) Aluminoso: alumina (Latin) Cupreo: from "copper" Vitriolic: resembling vitriol Notable long words Place names The sign at Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu The station sign at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in North Wales Main article: List of long place names The longest officially recognized place name in an English-speaking country is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters), which is a hill in New Zealand. The name is in the Māori language. A widely recognized version of the name is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters), which appears on the signpost at the location (see the photo on this page).

The 58-letter name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the name of a town on Anglesey, an island of Wales. In terms of the traditional Welsh alphabet, the name is only 51 letters long, as certain digraphs in Welsh are considered as single letters, for instance ll, ng and ch. It is generally agreed, however, that this invented name, adopted in the mid-19th century, was contrived solely to be the longest name of any town in Britain. The official name of the place is Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, commonly abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG.
The longest non-contrived place name in the United Kingdom which is a single non-hyphenated word is Cottonshopeburnfoot (19 letters) and the longest which is hyphenated is Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe (29 characters).

The lake is also known as Webster Lake. The longest hyphenated names in the U.S. are Winchester-on-the-Severn, a town in Maryland, and Washington-on-the-Brazos, a notable place in Texas history.

From about 1975 to 1985, the recordholder was Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffvoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafewarenwohlgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvonangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeindewelchevoralternzwolftausendjahresvorandieerscheinenwanderersteerdemenschderraumschiffgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefahrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchenachdiesternwelchegehabtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneurassevonverstandigmenschlichkeitkonntefortplanzenundsicherfreuenanlebenslanglichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvonandererintelligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum, Senior (746 letters), also known as Wolfe+585, Senior. After 1985 Guinness briefly awarded the record to a newborn girl with a longer name. The category was removed shortly afterward. Long birth names are often coined in protest of naming laws or for other personal reasons.
The naming law in Sweden was challenged by parents Lasse Diding and Elisabeth Hallin, who proposed the given name "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116" for their child (pronounced [ˈǎlːbɪn], 43 characters), which was rejected by a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden. Words with certain characteristics of notable length Main article: List of the longest English words with one syllable Schmaltzed and strengthed (10 letters) appear to be the longest monosyllabic words recorded in The Oxford English Dictionary, while scraunched and scroonched appear to be the longest monosyllabic words recorded in Webster's Third New International Dictionary; but squirrelled (11 letters) is the longest if pronounced as one syllable only (as permitted in The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary at squirrel, and in Longman Pronunciation Dictionary). Schtroumpfed (12 letters) was coined by Umberto Eco, while broughammed (11 letters) was coined by William Harmon after broughamed (10 letters) was coined by George Bernard Shaw. Strengths is the longest word in the English language containing only one vowel letter. Euouae, a medieval musical term, is the longest English word consisting only of vowels, and the word with the most consecutive vowels. However, the "word" itself is simply a mnemonic consisting of the vowels to be sung in the phrase "seculorum Amen" at the end of the lesser doxology. (Although u was often used interchangeably with v, and the variant "Evovae" is occasionally used, the v in these cases would still be a vowel.) The longest words with no repeated letters are dermatoglyphics and uncopyrightable. The longest word whose letters are in alphabetical order is the eight-letter Aegilops, a grass genus. However, this is arguably a proper noun. There are several six-letter English words with their letters in alphabetical order, including abhors, almost, begins, biopsy, chimps and chintz. There are few 7-letter words, such as "billowy" and "beefily". The longest words whose letters are in reverse alphabetical order are sponged, wronged and trollied. The longest words recorded in OED with each vowel only once, and in order, are abstemiously, affectiously, and tragediously (OED). Fracedinously and gravedinously (constructed from adjectives in OED) have thirteen letters; Gadspreciously, constructed from Gadsprecious (in OED), has fourteen letters. Facetiously is among the few other words directly attested in OED with single occurrences of all six vowels (counting y as a vowel). The longest single palindromic word in English is rotavator, another name for a rotary tiller for breaking and aerating soil. Typed words The longest words typable with only the left hand using conventional hand placement on a QWERTY keyboard are tesseradecades, aftercataracts, dereverberated, dereverberates and the more common but sometimes hyphenated sweaterdresses. Using the right hand alone, the longest word that can be typed is johnny-jump-up, or, excluding hyphens, monimolimnion and phyllophyllin. The longest English word typable using only the top row of letters has 11 letters: rupturewort. The word teetertotter (used in North American English) is longer at 12 letters, although it is usually spelled with a hyphen. The longest using only the middle row is shakalshas (10 letters). Nine-letter words include flagfalls; eight-letter words include galahads and alfalfas. Since the bottom row contains no vowels, no standard words can be formed. The longest words typable by alternating left and right hands are antiskepticism and leucocytozoans respectively. On a Dvorak keyboard, the longest "left-handed" words are epopoeia, jipijapa, peekapoo, and quiaquia. Other such long words are papaya, Kikuyu, opaque, and upkeep. Kikuyu is typed entirely with the index finger, and so the longest one-fingered word on the Dvorak keyboard. There are no vowels on the right-hand side, and so the longest "right-handed" word is crwths.
