Ashton Kutcher as Colt Bennett, a former high school and college football star who returns to his hometown after a fifteen-year absence for a tryout, but ultimately helps his father and older brother on their family ranch. Colt is frequently the butt of jokes from his father and brother, particularly when it comes to his ranching skills (or lack thereof) and his disappointing pro football career. He is a heavy drinker and has a penchant for not using common sense, but he seems to have a heart of gold and tries to do right by others. Based on his various T-shirts and dialogue throughout the first season, it's implied that Colt has played for the Barcelona Dragons, San Jose SaberCats, Spokane Shock, Orlando Predators, Nebraska Danger, Iowa Barnstormers, Green Bay Blizzard, Minnesota Axemen and Philadelphia Soul. Dialogue also states that he was a member of teams in Canada, notably the fictional Saskatoon Cold ("Like the Miami Heat... only cold") and Alaska, as well as that he was in the practice squad of the Buffalo Bills. He also states in the first episode he was the back up of the back up of the back up for Florida State and won the championship in 1999.
Danny Masterson as Jameson “Rooster” Bennett, Colt's older brother. He has lived and worked on the ranch since Colt left to follow his football career, at times showing a bitter attitude for the burden of responsibility this caused him. Despite living in Colt's shadow he is far more competent on the ranch as well as a more level headed thinker. He has, however, been just as irresponsible as Colt, drinking too much and sleeping around. (seasons 1–3)
Debra Winger as Margaret "Maggie" Bennett, owner of Maggie's, and Colt and Rooster's mother. Maggie is divorced from Beau and lives in a trailer behind the bar she owns. Much more lighthearted and caring than Beau, her company and advice is often sought out by the boys on how to deal with problems, especially those concerning their father. Maggie is something of a hippie and is an avid marijuana smoker.
Elisha Cuthbert as Abigail "Abby" Phillips, a Garrison High School history teacher and Colt's high school and current girlfriend. Abby was in a five-year relationship with Kenny and was briefly engaged to him, but ultimately she broke it off and hooked back up with Colt. (recurring, season 1; main cast, season 2–present)
Sam Elliott as Beau Bennett, Maggie's ex-husband, and Colt and Rooster's father. A Vietnam War veteran, he has worked the ranch since returning from the war and taking it over after his father died. Beau is a conservative republican. Beau is difficult to get along with, perpetually annoyed with everyone and everything. He has an estrange relationship with Rooster and Colt. He detests many modern amenities and is easily angered by his sons' antics. Beau appears to be a Republican with a special affinity for Ronald Reagan but at times seems to despise all politicians regardless of affiliation.

text: In popular culture[edit]

text: The song has become an anthem for numerous sports teams, most notably the Auburn Tigers football team during their 2010 national championship season. It was played during the team's pregame entrance video as well as following each home victory in Jordan–Hare Stadium. The Milwaukee Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles also play this song after every home game victory as does the Texas Longhorns football band and the Michigan State Spartans after a men's basketball win. Boxer Devon Alexander uses the song as his entrance music, the Arizona State Sun Devils, Purdue All American Marching Band, the USC Trojans Marching Band Spirit of Troy, and the Arizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band use it during their athletic programs as well as the East Carolina Pirates and LSU Tigers football teams, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball teams, Vampire Weekend on their 2010 tour, and it was also used as the celebratory music by the 2010 Stanley Cup champions The Chicago Blackhawks. The New York Knicks professional basketball team also use an instrumental version of the song for their player intros during the 2010–11 NBA season.[8] The Denver Nuggets,[9] Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Carolina Panthers, and Nashville Predators play this song after every home game victory. The song has gained popularity among Miami Hurricanes football fans as Snoop Dogg's line "We like the U in the 80s" refers to the University of Miami football team that dominated college football in the 80s and early 90s. It was subsequently arranged for the Band of the Hour, Miami's marching band. Internet mashup artist DJ Earworm has included the song in a mash-up designed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[10][11] A remix version was made in December 2011 for Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos, called "All He Does Is Win" – the video went viral on YouTube.[12] The New Orleans Saints play the chorus of "All I Do Is Win" during home games. This is also one of themes for the Canadian roller derby team, E-Ville Roller Derby.

text: The song was used as background music for one of the commercials advertising the Jamaican teen magazine television programme Teen Seen, which aired on major television network CVM Television on Saturdays at 6pm (previously at 4:30pm) and was created by the National Family Planning Board (which produced the programme with Phase 3 Productions).

text: At the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama was introduced to "Hail to the Chief," which quickly cut to a snippet of "All I Do is Win."[13][14]

text: On April 28, 2014, actress Emma Stone lip synched the song in a "Lip Sync Battle" against late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.[15]

text: The song was featured in the 2015 musical comedy film Pitch Perfect 2, the 2015 film Magic Mike XXL, and the 2016 R-Rated comedy "The Boss".

text: The song was also used in the trailer for the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie.

text: This song is also featured on the soundtrack for NBA 2K16.

text: The YouTube channel Barack's Dubs created and uploaded a mashup video of U.S. President Donald Trump singing the song.[16]

text: This song is referenced on one of the "Coke and a Song" bottles and cans available as of Summer 2016.[17]

text: The song is featured in a Classico Pasta Sauce commercial that debuted in mid-late 2016,[18]

text: The song is featured in a Walmart commercial in 2017.

text: On Facebook, one game in Slotomania, called Shaq 9 (a golf game), featuring Saquille O'Neal, Shaq yells 'All I do is win, win, win, no matter what!'

text: Commercial performance[edit]

text: The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 63 chart date of March 6, 2010, and peaked at this chart at No. 24 for the chart dated July 24, 2010. It also peaked at No. 8 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 2010.[19] The song was certified double Platinum by RIAA on July 6, 2011, and 3× Platinum on 19 June 2015.[3] The song re-entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in May 2014 at No. 23.[19] As of May 2014, the song has sold over 3 million copies in the US.[20]

question_text: who dies in the battle of the five armies

text: Plot[edit]

text: Bilbo and the Dwarves watch from the Lonely Mountain as the dragon Smaug sets Laketown ablaze. Bard the Bowman breaks out of prison, and eventually kills Smaug with the black arrow brought to him by his son Bain. Smaug's falling body crushes the fleeing Master of Laketown and his cronies, who were escaping from Laketown on a boat laden with the town's gold. Bard reluctantly becomes the new leader of the people of Laketown as they seek refuge in the ruins of Dale, while Legolas travels to investigate Mount Gundabad with Tauriel. Thorin, now struck with "dragon sickness" over the vast treasure in the mountain, searches obsessively for the Arkenstone, which Bilbo had previously found but kept hidden. Thorin, hearing that Laketown survivors have fled to Dale, orders the entrance of the Lonely Mountain sealed off.

text: Meanwhile, Galadriel, Elrond, and Saruman arrive at Dol Guldur and free Gandalf, sending him to safety with Radagast. They battle and defeat the Nazgûl and a formless Sauron himself, banishing them to the East. Azog, marching on Erebor with his vast Orc army, sends his son Bolg to Gundabad to summon their second army. Legolas and Tauriel witness the march of Bolg's army, bolstered by Orc Berserkers and giant bats.

text: Thranduil and an elf army arrive in Dale and form an alliance with Bard in order to reclaim white gems that are part of the mountain treasure. Bard goes to the mountain and asks Thorin for the share of gold that he had previously promised the people of Laketown, but Thorin refuses. Gandalf arrives at Dale to warn Bard and Thranduil of the threat posed by Azog, but Thranduil dismisses him. Bilbo sneaks out of Erebor to hand the Arkenstone over to Thranduil and Bard so that they can trade it for the gems and gold they were promised and prevent a battle. When Bard and Thranduil's armies gather at the gates of Erebor, offering to trade the Arkenstone for the Elven white gems and the portion of gold promised Laketown survivors, Thorin angrily refuses to believe they have the Arkenstone until Bilbo admits giving it away and chides Thorin for letting greed cloud his judgement. Outraged by what he sees as betrayal, Thorin nearly kills Bilbo, but Gandalf arrives at the gate and shames Thorin into releasing Bilbo. Thorin's cousin Dáin arrives with his Dwarf army, and a battle of Dwarves against Elves and Men begins, with the Elves and Men having a significant advantage. Wereworms emerge from the ground, releasing Azog's army from their tunnels. With the Orcs outnumbering Dáin's army, Thranduil and Bard's forces, along with Gandalf and Bilbo, join the battle. However, a second front is opened when many Orcs, Ogres, and Trolls attack Dale.

text: Inside Erebor, Thorin suffers traumatic hallucinations before regaining his sanity and leading his company to join the battle. He rides towards Ravenhill with Dwalin, Fíli, and Kíli to kill Azog; Bilbo follows them using the One Ring to move through the combat unseen. Meanwhile, Tauriel leaves with Legolas following her to warn the Dwarves of Bolg's approaching army. Fíli and Kíli are cornered. Azog kills Fíli, as Bilbo and the other Dwarves look on. As Thorin engages Azog in a fight to the death, Bolg knocks Bilbo unconscious, overpowers Tauriel and then kills Kíli, who had come to her aid. Legolas battles Bolg and eventually kills him. Thorin kills Azog, but is fatally wounded in the process. The Great Eagles then arrive with Radagast and Beorn to fight the newly arriving Orc army, and the Orcs are finally defeated. Bilbo regains consciousness and makes peace with Thorin before he dies. Tauriel mourns Kili and Thranduil acknowledges their love. Legolas then tells Thranduil he must leave, and Thranduil advises him to seek out a Dunedain ranger in the north who goes by the name "Strider". Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli are respectfully laid to rest and Dáin is crowned King under the Mountain.

text: Bilbo bids farewell to the remaining members of Thorin's company and journeys home to the Shire with Gandalf. As the two part ways on the outskirts of the Shire, Gandalf admits his knowledge of Bilbo's ring and warns him that magic rings are not to be used lightly. Bilbo returns to Bag End to find his belongings being auctioned off by his least favourite relatives, the Sackville-Bagginses, because he was presumed dead. He cancels the sale, but finds his home pillaged. He starts to tidy up and takes the Ring out of his pocket. Sixty years later, Bilbo receives a visit from Gandalf on his 111th birthday.

text: Production[edit]

text: Development[edit]

text: The Hobbit was originally envisioned as a two-part film, but Jackson confirmed plans for a third film on 30 July 2012, turning his adaptation of The Hobbit into a trilogy.[8][9] According to Jackson, the third film would contain the Battle of the Five Armies and make extensive use of the appendices that Tolkien wrote to expand the story of Middle-earth (published in the back of The Return of the King). Jackson also stated that while the third film will largely make use of footage originally shot for the first and second films, it would require additional filming as well.[10] The third film was titled There and Back Again in August 2012.[11] In April 2014, Jackson changed the title of the film to The Battle of the Five Armies as he thought the new title better suited the situation of the film.[12] He stated on his Facebook page, "There and Back Again felt like the right name for the second of a two film telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo's arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film. But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced—after all, Bilbo has already arrived 'there' in the Desolation of Smaug."[13] Shaun Gunner, the chairman of The Tolkien Society, supported the decision: "The Battle of the Five Armies much better captures the focus of the film but also more accurately channels the essence of the story."[14]

text: Score[edit]

text: As with all the previous films, Howard Shore composed the score. Billy Boyd, who played Peregrin Took in The Lord of the Rings, wrote and recorded the song "The Last Goodbye" to be played over the end credits of the film.[15]

text: Distribution[edit]

text: Marketing[edit]

text: A teaser trailer for the film was released on 28 July 2014 attached to Guardians of the Galaxy, Into the Storm, and If I Stay. The second theatrical trailer was released on 6 November 2014 attached to Interstellar and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.[16][17] To promote the film's release, Wellington-based association football club, Wellington Phoenix, wore a special designed jersey to commemorate the opening of The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. The custom, film-themed jersey was worn only once, on 13 December 2014.[18] In the film's Japanese release on 13 December, Warner Bros. collaborated with mobile gaming company A-Lim to bring Bilbo, Gandalf, and Legolas into the game Brave Frontier at the end of December as Vortex Dungeon units. The campaign only ran until February 2015.[19][20][21] Smaug made a guest appearance, animated by WETA and voiced again by Cumberbatch, on the satire show The Colbert Report on 12 December 2014 to promote the film.[22]

text: Video games[edit]

text: Two video games were developed to coincide with the film's theatrical release. A tie-in fighting video game The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies – Fight for Middle Earth was released simultaneously with the film for Android and iOS platforms to negative reviews from critics and users. An action-adventure video game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 & Xbox One in October 2014 and for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 21 November, nearly a week prior to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies world premiere in London, on 1 December. The events of the game take place directly after Sauron fled to Mordor, escaping The White Council, which was shown at the beginning of the film. The game was planned to act as an overlap between The Hobbit (film series) and The Lord of the Rings (film series).

text: Theatrical release[edit]

text: Initially the film was set for a July 2014 release however it was later pushed back to December.[23] The world premiere of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was held in London at Leicester Square on 1 December 2014.[24][25] The film opened in theatres on 11 December 2014 in New Zealand, on 12 December in the United Kingdom and on 17 December in the United States. Warner Bros released the film on 18 December 2014 in Greece and 26 December in Australia.[6][26] The film was released in China on 23 January 2015.[27] An extended edition of the film had a one-night-only re-release on 13 October 2015, accompanied by a special greeting from Peter Jackson.[28]

text: Home media[edit]

text: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was released on 6 March 2015 on Digital Release from digital retailers. The DVD and Blu-ray were released on 24 March 2015 in the United States.[29][30][31][32] It topped the home video sales chart in its opening week.[33] An Extended Edition of the film, with 20 minutes of additional footage and original music was released on Digital HD on 20 October and on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on 17 November 2015 in the United States and on 23 November 2015, in the United Kingdom.[34][35][36] Unlike the theatrical version's PG-13 rating, the Extended Edition has been rated R by the MPAA for "some violence".[37]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: Like its predecessors, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies became a financial success. It grossed a total of $255.1 million in North America and $700.9 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $956 million.[38] Worldwide, it is the second highest-grossing film of 2014 (behind Transformers: Age of Extinction), the lowest-grossing film of The Hobbit series,[39] and the 33rd highest-grossing film of all time.[40][41] According to Deadline.com's estimation, the film made a profit of $103.38 million.[42] The film failed to earn $1 billion at the box office, despite various pundits projecting it to reach that milestone. The Hollywood Reporter said that The Battle of the Five Armies was unlikely to gross $1 billion worldwide due to "plunging exchange rates around the globe" witnessed that year, and that Warner Bros. and MGM ultimately would take in nearly $90 million less than expected due to the rising dollar and plunging foreign currencies.[43] However, despite this failure, Forbes has declared the trilogy "an unmitigated financial grand-slam for all parties."[44]

text: North America[edit]

text: In the U.S. and Canada, it is the lowest-grossing of the three films of The Hobbit trilogy,[45] and also the lowest-grossing of the six Middle-earth adaptations,[46] but the sixth highest-grossing film of 2014.[47] It opened on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 7 p.m across 3,100 theaters and widened to 3,875 the following day.[48] It earned $11.2 million from Tuesday late-night shows, which is the second highest of 2014, matching the numbers earned by Guardians of the Galaxy and both behind The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 ($17 million) of which $2.5 million of just over 22% came from IMAX showings. This broke the record for a Middle-earth adaptation previews previously set by The Desolation of Smaug with $8.8 million.[48][49][50][51] It then topped the box office on its opening day (Wednesday, December 17, 2014), earning $24.5 million (including previews),[52][53] which is the third highest Middle-earth adaptation Wednesday opening behind the Wednesday openings of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($34.5 million) and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ($26.2 million).[54][55] In total, the film earned $57.4 million in its traditional three-day opening and $89.1 million over its five-day course making it the second biggest five-day opening in The Hobbit franchise, beating the $86.1 million opening of The Desolation of Smaug, but still behind An Unexpected Journey's $100.2 million five-day opening. However, on a three-day basis, the film underperformed expectations and fell short of its predecessors.[38][56] The film set a December IMAX opening record with $13.4 million (previously held by Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol).[57] 3D accounted for 49% of the total gross while IMAX generated 15% or $13.4 million over five days, and $7.4 million over three days, and premium large format screens comprised 8% of the total opening weekend gross with $7.2 million from 396 theaters.[38][58] The film passed the $100 million mark on its seventh day (December 23, 2014).[59] It became the third film of 2014 to earn $100 million in just under a week following Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 ($168.7 million in its opening week) and Disney/Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy ($134.4 million in its first week).[60] It was in first place at the North American box office for three consecutive weekends despite facing competition from numerous new releases each weekend,[61][62] but was finally overtaken by Taken 3 in its fourth weekend.[63][64]

text: Outside North America[edit]

text: The film began its international roll-out a week prior to its wide North American release.[65] It opened Wednesday, December 10, 2014 in 11 European markets, earning $11.3 million and December 11, 2014 in 17 additional markets, earning $13.7 million, for a two-day total of $26.6 million and topped the charts in each of the territories.[65][66][67] Through Sunday, December 14, 2015, it had an openening weekend total of $122.2 million from 37 countries in 15,395 screens,[68][69] topping the box office and outperforming the previous two installments on a local currency and admissions basis.[69] 71% of the total gross ($86.7 million) came from 3D showings.[69] However, the overseas opening weekend was still lower than the openings of An Unexpected Journey ($138 million)[70] and The Desolation of Smaug ($135.4 million)[71] – both on a dollar basis. It set a December IMAX opening record with $6.4 million across 160 IMAX screens, previously held by An Unexpected Journey with $5.03 million.[69] The film opened to an additional 59 countries in its second weekend and earned $109 million from 19,315 screens still holding the top spot and fell gradually by 13% as a result of facing minor competitions.[57][72] In its third weekend, the film added a further $89 million abroad, remaining at No. 1.[73] It was in first place at the box office outside North America for four consecutive weekends[74] and five in total.[75]

text: The film achieved numerous records in international markets during its opening weekend. It set an all-time Warner Bros. opening record in Russia ($13.75 million),[68] Argentina ($2.1 million),[74] Sweden, and Finland.[68] It also set a 2014 opening record in Germany ($20.5 million),[68] France ($15.05 million),[68] and Spain ($6.3 million).[76] It also had the best Middle-earth saga opening in the UK ($15.2 million)[68] and Mexico ($6.3 million).[68] In Brazil, the film scored the second biggest Warner Bros. opening of all time with $6.8 million (behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2).[68] In Australia, the film was released on 26 December 2014 and set an opening day record with $5.59 million, which is the biggest of 2014, the second biggest Boxing Day gross, and the fourth biggest ever in Australia[77] behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 ($7.092 million), The Avengers ($6.004 million), and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug ($5.9 million).[78] It went on to earn $10.1 million in its opening weekend.[73] The film set an all-time opening record for Warner Bros. in China where it earned $49.84 million in its opening weekend (a record previously held by Pacific Rim).[75][79][80] IMAX generated $6.8 million of the total gross, which was once the second highest IMAX three day gross behind Transformers: Age of Extinction's $10 million.[75] Other high openings were recorded in Korea ($10.4 million), Poland ($5.6 million), Italy ($5.6 million), Malaysia ($3 million), and Taiwan ($2.75 million).[73][76] In total earnings, its largest markets are China ($121.7 million); UK, Ireland, and Malta ($61.3 million); and Australia ($27 million).[81]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: MTV reported that early reviews for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies were "generally positive" with critics praising the film "for its energy, shorter running time and satisfying closure".[82] According to IBT, reviews for the film were mostly positive, with critics "praising director Peter Jackson's effort at transforming J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy novel into an epic adventure film trilogy".[83] According to CBS News, critics said the film "will satisfy fans" but "otherwise, it may be worth waiting until it's available to rent".[84] Oliver Gettel of the Los Angeles Times said the critical consensus was that the film is "a flawed but fitting finale to The Hobbit trilogy".[85] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 59% approval rating based on 232 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website's consensus reads "Though somewhat overwhelmed by its own spectacle, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies ends Peter Jackson's second Middle-earth trilogy on a reasonably satisfying note."[86] The film also holds a Metacritic score of 59 out of 100 based on 45 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[87] In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.[38]

text: Scott Foundas of Variety said "The result is at once the trilogy's most engrossing episode, its most expeditious (at a comparatively lean 144 minutes) and also its darkest – both visually and in terms of the forces that stir in the hearts of men, dwarves and orcs alike."[88] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter said "After six films, 13 years and 1031 minutes of accumulated running time, Peter Jackson has concluded his massively remunerative genuflection at the altar of J.R.R. Tolkien with a film that may be the most purely entertaining of any in the collection."[89] Andrew Pulver of The Guardian said "This film is a fitting cap to an extended series that, if nothing else, has transformed Tolkien's place in the wider culture."[90] Chris Tilly from IGN Movies said "There's a little too much padding in the final Hobbit flick, and the best sequence is without doubt the film's first. But the central battle is indeed spectacular, and as 'The Age of Orc' approaches, it rounds out this particular story in stirring and emotional fashion."[91] Russell Baillie of The New Zealand Herald said The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is "something less than the supposed 'defining chapter' of Jackson's time in Middle-earth as it's been billed. But action-wise, it certainly goes out with a very pleasing bang."[92]

text: Conversely, Inkoo Kang of TheWrap said "The 144-minute running time showcases Jackson's worst tendencies: eons-long battle scenes, sloppy and abrupt resolutions, portentous romances, off-rhythm comic timing, and, newly in this case, patience-testing fan service."[93] Tim Robey of The Daily Telegraph described the film as "a paragraph on steroids" that was "neither very terrible nor remotely unexpected. It's a series of stomping footnotes in search of a climax."[94] The BBC's Nicholas Barber wrote that with The Hobbit series, Jackson had succeeded in bridging the gap between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and that The Battle of the Five Armies was a "colossal technical achievement", but he also criticised that the film as such was not compelling because of "its repetitive battle scenes and a lack of plot".[95] Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times said "Bilbo may fully learn a sense of friendship and duty, and have quite a story to tell, but somewhere along the way, Mr. Jackson loses much of the magic."[96]

document_title: Lost in Space (film)

question_text: who played penny in the movie lost in space

text: Lost in Space (film)

text: Plot[edit]

text: In the year 2058, Earth will soon be uninhabitable due to irreversible effects of pollution. In an effort to save humanity, the United Global Space Force (UGSF) elects to send Professor John Robinson and his family—wife Maureen, daughters Judy and Penny, and young prodigy son Will—on a 10-year mission on the spaceship Jupiter II to complete the construction of a hypergate over the planet Alpha-Prime, allowing for the population of Earth to be instantly transported to and populate it as a new home. Initially, Penny is resistant to leaving: rebelling by breaking curfew, while Will's prize-winning science experiment involving time travel goes largely unnoticed by the family patriarch. Global Sedition, a terrorist group against the mission, assassinates the Jupiter II's pilot, and hotshot fighter pilot Major Don West is instead recruited to fly their ship—much to his chagrin.

text: Doctor Zachary Smith, the family's physician, turns out to be a spy for the Sedition who sabotages the ship's on-board robot before launch, but he is betrayed by his cohorts and left unconscious as an unwitting stowaway as the ship launches and the family enters cryosleep for the journey. The robot activates soon after they are asleep, and following its corrupted programming, begins to destroy the navigation and guidance systems, en route to destroying the family itself. Smith awakens the sleeping Robinsons and West, who manages to subdue the robot; yet due to the robot's actions, the ship is falling uncontrollably into the sun. Forced to use the experimental hyperdrive, which has an unpredictable trajectory without a hypergate to go through, the ship is transported through hyperspace to a planet in a remote and uncharted part of the universe, where their known star charts are useless. Going through a strange distortion in space, the crew finds two abandoned ships in orbit, the Proteus, an Earth ship, and another ship that is clearly not of human origin. They board the Proteus, with Will controlling the now-modified robot by remote-control to aid them. They find navigational data that can be used to get to Alpha-Prime along with a camouflaging creature whom Penny calls "Blarp", and evidence suggesting the ship is from decades in the future. They are attacked by spider-like creatures; in their escape, Smith is injured by one of them, and the robot's body is damaged beyond repair, but Will saves its computerized intelligence. Pilot West ignores orders and destroys the vessel to eradicate the spiders, and as a result, the ship crash-lands on the nearby planet-where the strange distortions from before continue. Will theorizes that they are distortions in time; in fact, they are his science experiment's predicted results. His father, however, frustrates Will by ignoring his input. His father and West head off to explore one of these time bubbles, and encounter a future version of Will, who explains that some spiders had survived and attacked after his father and West had left them, and that Maureen, Penny and Judy were all killed. Constructing a time machine, Will intends to go back to Earth prior to the launch of Jupiter II, and prevent it from happening.

text: Meanwhile, young Will and Smith head out on their own to investigate the time bubble. Smith tricks Will into handing over his weapon, but he is foiled by a future version of Smith who had been protecting Will ever since the rest of the family was killed, and was unwittingly transformed by an infection from the spider injury into a kind of anthropomorphic creature. Will and West return to their time with an injured Smith in tow, while the future Smith reveals his true actions: he had killed the Robinsons, but kept Will alive to build the time machine, so that he could go back in time to populate Earth with a race of space spiders. John remembers that the spiders eat their wounded, rips open Smith's egg sac with a trophy Will had turned into a weapon, and while Smith's own army devours him, he is thrown into the time portal, which rips him apart. The increasing instability of the planet caused by the portal forces the Jupiter II to take off, but they are unable to reach escape velocity and are destroyed by the planet's debris. Will realizes that his father never actually abandoned them, and that he really does love him after all. Setting the time machine's controls to send John back to his family, he himself is unable to go along—for there is only enough power for one person. Saying goodbye to his family, Will disappears into the future and John reunites with his living family. Realizing that they don't have enough power to escape the planet's gravitational pull, John suggests that West do what he did when they were falling into the sun: drive the ship down through the planet, and use the gravity well to slingshot them back into space. They are successful, but the planet turns into a black hole, which begins to suck them back in, and the Robinsons once again activate the hyperdrive to escape. Using the navigational data from the Proteus to set a potential course for Alpha-Prime, the ship blasts off into hyperspace.

text: Several of the actors from the TV show appeared in the film. June Lockhart (Maureen Robinson) appeared as Will's school principal "Cartwright" in a hologram. Mark Goddard (Major West) appeared as Major West's commanding officer. Angela Cartwright (Penny Robinson) and Marta Kristen (Judy Robinson) appeared as news reporters. Dick Tufeld returned to his role as the voice of the Robot. Jonathan Harris, who played Dr. Smith in the series, declined an offer to cameo as a Global Sedition representative who deals with Dr. Smith in the film, declaring "I've never played a bit part in my life and I'm not going to start now!". Billy Mumy was likewise offered a cameo, but turned it down after being told he would not be considered for the part he wanted—the role of the older Will Robinson—because he was told that would "confuse the audience."

text: Music[edit]

text: TVT Records released a soundtrack album on March 31, 1998, featuring eleven tracks of Bruce Broughton's original score (which makes no reference to either of the TV themes composed by John Williams) and eight tracks of techno music (most of which is heard only over the film's end credits).[2] A European version of the soundtrack album was released that omits the tracks "Spider Attack", "Jupiter Crashes", and "Spider Smith" in favor of three new songs unused in the film by Aah-Yah, Asphalt Ostrich, and Anarchy.[3] Intrada Records released a score album for the film the following year. (The track "Thru the Planet" on the TVT album is not the same as "Through the Planet" on the Intrada release, but is a shortened version of Broughton's unused end title music heard on the score album as "Lost in Space.")

text: Reception[edit]

text: On its opening weekend, Lost in Space grossed $20,154,919 and debuted at number one at the box office, ending Titanic's 15-week-long hold on the first-place position. It opened in 3,306 theaters and grossed an average of $6,096 per screening. Lost in Space grossed $69,117,629 in the United States, and $67,041,794 outside of America, bringing its worldwide total to $136,159,423,[4] making it a moderate box office success. Those results were deemed insufficient, however, to justify a planned sequel.

text: Reviews were generally negative for Lost in Space, drawing criticism for its darker tone. Rotten Tomatoes has reported that 27% of critics gave them a positive review. The site's consensus reads: "Clumsily directed and missing most of the TV series' campy charm, Lost in Space sadly lives down to its title."[5] It also holds a score of 42 out of 100 on Metacritic from 19 critics.[6]

text: Roger Ebert gave the film a rating of 1 and a half out of 4, calling it a "dim-witted shoot-'em-up".[7] Wade Major from Boxoffice magazine rated the film at 1 and a half out of 5, calling it "the dumbest and least imaginative adaptation of a television series yet translated to the screen."[8] James Berardinelli was slightly more favorable, giving the film a rating of 2 and a half out of 4. While praising the film's set design, he criticized its "meandering storyline and lifeless protagonists," saying that "Lost in Space features a few action sequences that generate adrenaline jolts, but this is not an edge-of-the-seat motion picture."[9]

text: The film was given a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Remake or Sequel, but lost against the tied The Avengers, Godzilla and Psycho.

text: Home video[edit]

text: VHS, DVD, and later a Blu-ray have been released for the film. Both DVD, and Blu-ray contain deleted scenes.[10]


document_title: Dirty Work (Steely Dan song)

question_text: who sings vocals on dirty work by steely dan

text: Dirty Work (Steely Dan song)

text: Lyrics and music[edit]

text: Steely Dan FAQ author Anthony Robustelli describes "Dirty Work" as a "song of self-loathing."[1]  The lyrics describe an affair between a man and a married woman, sung by the man.[2] The Guardian describes the narrative as soap operatic.[3]  The singer recognizes that the woman is using him but is too infatuated to end the affair.[3][4]  The lyrics make an oblique reference to the game of chess, which was a hobby of Becker's.[4]  Several critics have described the music of "Dirty Work" as more commercial-sounding than most Steely Dan songs.[2][4] The Guardian says that it sounds like "a radio-friendly stroll of a song," at least at first.[3] Allmusic critic Stewart Mason attributes this in part to the "upward-modulating" refrain and "soulful" clavinet, as well as the tenor saxophone part played by guest musician Jerome Richardson.[2]  Steely Dan biographer Brian Sweet describes Richardson's sax solo as being "perfectly understated."[4]

text: "Dirty Work" is one of the songs on Can't Buy a Thrill on which David Palmer provided the lead vocal.[2][4][1]  Steely Dan biographer Brian Sweet hypothesizes that Fagen did not want to sing the song himself because he and Becker did not even want to include it on the album.[4]  But the executives at ABC Records wanted some more conventional tunes on the album and so they insisted that "Dirty Work" be included.[4]  The ABC executives had also thought the song would be ideal for Three Dog Night or The Grass Roots to record.[4]  After Palmer left the group, Steely Dan ceased playing the song live in concert, but revived it in 2006 with their female backing vocalists singing it and the perspective changed to that of a woman having an affair with a married (or attached) man.[2]

text: Personnel[edit]

text:
Donald Fagen – Wurlitzer electric piano, plastic (YC-30) organ, and backup vocals
Denny Dias – acoustic guitar
Jeff Baxter – electric guitar
Walter Becker – bass guitar, backup vocals
Jim Hodder – drums, backup vocals
David Palmer – lead vocals
Jerome Richardson – tenor saxophone
Snooky Young – flugelhorn

text: Reception[edit]

text: Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described "Dirty Work" as a "terrific pop song that subvert[s] traditional conventions" and is one of the best songs on Can't Buy a Thrill.[5] Musichound author Gary Graff referred to it as being "instantly memorable."[6] Rolling Stone Magazine critic James Isaacs attributes the song's success to the fact that it "juxtaposes David Palmer's sweet tenor voice with misogynistic lyrics."[7]  Robustelli similarly agrees that part of the song's effect is due to the contrast between Palmer's smooth voice and the harsh lyrics.[1]  "Dirty Work" was included on several Steely Dan compilation albums, including Citizen Steely Dan in 1993, Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story, 1972–1980 in 2000 and Steely Dan: The Definitive Collection in 2006.[2] Seguin Gazette-Enterprise writer J.J. Syrja expressed surprise that it was excluded from their 1978 compilation package Greatest Hits.[8]

text: The song was used in the first episode of season 3 of The Sopranos, “Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood,” as Tony Soprano sings it while driving his SUV.[1][9]  The song was also used in the 2013 film American Hustle, although Fagen and Becker did not give permission for it to be included on the soundtrack album.[1]

text: Other recordings[edit]

text: One off Rock Band The Replicants recorded the song on an album of songs not written by band members.

text: Iain Matthews recorded "Dirty Work" on his 1974 album Some Days You Eat the Bear and Some Days the Bear Eats You.[10][11]  Allmusic critic Brett Haretnbach described it as a "now-classic tune" well suited to Matthews' voice.[10] The Herald writer Tom Van Malder described it as a "standout."[11] The Pointer Sisters included it on their 1978 album Energy.[8][12]  Syrja called it an "intelligent" choice for the album.[8]


document_title: Nursing in Australia

question_text: national registration for all nurses and midwives in australia was introduced in

text: Nursing in Australia

text: History[edit]

text: Prior to the transfer of nursing education to the university sector, nurses were trained on the job in a three-year course of theory and practice instruction in hospital nursing schools and on the wards commencing with a 6-week preliminary training school (PTS) with the earliest accepted entry age being 17 years. First, second and third year student nurses were often distinguished by the number of stripes on their uniform caps and or belts. Hospital-based examinations were held each year and a successful pass meant progression to the next year and a fail meant a student nurse was cut, no second chances. Three years of student nursing culminated in final year exams. Student Nurses were paid employees of the parent hospital and there was no sick leave. If a student nurse missed time off through sick leave over the three years of training this time was added on to be worked at the end of the three years and if not worked a nurse was not allowed to graduate. Hospitals awarded distinctive badges and veils (think the flying nun) upon graduation. In addition, state registering authorities awarded a badge of registration. These were generally worn with pride on the uniform collars.

text: As early as the 1930s, attempts were made to establish university credentialed nursing courses in Australia, most notably by then director of nursing at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the University of Melbourne. As recently as the 1970s, Sandra Stacy, one of the first Australian nurses to attain a PhD enrolled in a school of anthropology to submit her thesis.

text: In the late 1970s, the Royal College of Nursing Australia pioneered a course that became the Diploma of Applied Science (Nursing), awarded by the Lincoln Institute in Melbourne and Cumberland College in Sydney. The transfer of nursing education to the university sector continued throughout the 1980s, and gradually hospital schools ceased operating. In the early 1990s, universities finally granted nursing education the same status as allied health, and granted bachelor degrees in nursing rather than diplomas for entry-level courses.

text: The first move towards baccalaureate recognition was the development of the Bachelor of Applied Science (Advanced Nursing), a post graduate degree that required registration as a registered nurse as a prerequisite to admission and completion of 16 units. This course is no longer offered, and has been superseded by the transition of "post basic courses" conducted by various hospitals as a form of in-service training to the tertiary sector. The College of Nursing still runs post graduate certificate courses for nurses in many specialities.

text: The transfer of nursing education to the university sector from the hospital setting was the result of long-time efforts by leaders in Australian nursing. It was opposed by the medical hierarchy who viewed the development of highly trained professional nurses as a threat to their monopoly on the delivery of high-level health care.[citation needed] Many nurses themselves opposed the transfer on the grounds that "hands on experience in hospitals" would be lost.[citation needed] One underlying cause of the opposition was that of societal views toward appropriate gender roles: nursing as a "female" profession and medicine as a "male" profession.ceo

text: Historically, a "double" or "triple certificated sister" would have been a registered nurse who held general, midwifery, psychiatric, or other range of certificates. The post nominal "RN (DC)" or "RN (TC)" was used by some nurses to signify this attainment.

text: Nurse practitioners are being introduced into the Australian healthcare community. It was only in December 2000, that the first Nurse Practitioner was authorised to work in Australia. Since then there are approximately 700 practicing throughout Australia. To become a Nurse Practitioner you must firstly apply to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, NMBA. After applying to the NMBA you are then required to provide affirmation of the following to be considered:[3]

text: · General registration as a nurse

text: · The required hours of experience in a leading practice, which is 3 years full-time within the space of the last 6 years

text: · A Masters degree which is from an approved provided

text: Legal regulation[edit]

text: As of 1 July 2010, nurses are regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, an agency under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. The practice of nursing was previously governed by state and territorial nursing regulation authorities. The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) was established in 1992 and works with these authorities to facilitate a national approach to nursing and midwifery regulation. Which has now been superseded by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA).

text: Types of nurses[edit]

text: Nurses fall into the following major categories:

text:
Nurse practitioner (NP)
Registered nurse (RN)
Enrolled nurse (EN)

text: Supported by the following:

text: Assistant In nursing (AIN)

text: Mandatory Registration Requirements for Nurses in Australia[edit]

text: Before being able to work as a nurse you must become registered in Australia. There are specific registration requirements that all new applicants and applicants renewing their registration[5] must meet:

text: · Criminal history check – international as of the 4th of February 2015

text: · Professional indemnity insurance arrangements

text: · English skills

text: · Continuation of professional development

text: · Recency of practice

text: Education[edit]

text: Registration as a registered nurse now requires a Bachelor of Nursing, considered the foundation for any future specialisation within nursing. Postgraduate diplomas provide further vocational training for specialist areas. Masters level courses are available in both research and course work streams; a specialist course has been developed to provide preparation for registration as a nurse practitioner. Professional doctorates are also available.

text: Australia has a long tradition of post-basic courses, usually of a six-month (minor) or twelve-month (major) duration, which included midwifery, maternal and child welfare, psychiatric, perioperative (theatre nursing), intensive care, and coronary care in later years, as well as a myriad of other courses. They are now provided by the university sector as postgraduate diplomas or post graduate certificates, depending on the length and complexity.

text: There are options available for hospital trained nurses to upgrade their qualifications to a Bachelor of Nursing (post registration). However, most opt instead to undertake specialist courses such as a postgraduate diploma or certification in the area of their clinical interest.

text: Enrolled nurses (Endorsed) complete a Diploma of Nursing and are trained in the "technical and further education" (TAFE) sector and also Universities, although still obtaining the same degree. Course length has been increased to 18 months to include a module that permits enrolled nurses to dispense oral medications, as well as perform intramuscular injections, subcutaneous injections, and intradermal injections when. Additional post-graduate certificates are offered. Diploma (Endorsed) and Certificate nurses can attend University to gain a Bachelor of Nursing in just 2 years, as their previous qualification allows most to enter at 2nd year.

text: Professional titles[edit]

text: The professional courtesy title "sister" has fallen into disuse and disapproval, even though it was formerly used by both male and female registered general nurses. The title "nurse" was used when addressing enrolled nurses.

text: Salary[edit]

text: The salary of a nurse depends on two factors: the type of nurse and the years of experience in the position.

text:
Nurse Practitioner: $118,419 to $123,629
Registered Nurse: $62,724 to $86,316
