Talk:Donald Barthelme

Pronunciation
How is Barthelme's name pronounced? - Cobra libre 23:43, July 25, 2005 (UTC) It's a mystery. Ask his brothers, Fredrick and Steven, both of whom teach at Southern Mississippi University. Maybe they know something. Kim Herzinger also teaches there and probably knows.

- I have always prounced it "Barth - el - may" but one english teacher of mine prounounced it "Bart - el - may" Guess that doesn't help too much, but it aught to be one of those two.

- In fact, nothing so exotic. It is pronounced bar-thelm, the syllables equally stressed.

- *It is prounced "Barth - el - me." *THIS IS THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

I read that Barthelme never told anyone how to pronunce his name, he just let them say it however they pleased.

- He was my father's cousin and we say Barth-el-me

- when I pronounce it, I always tend to say Barth-Al-Me... maybe it's like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.10.18 (talk) 21:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

- Funny, I've always pronounced it Barth-Elm, not pronouncing the last e, and nobody's corrected me, so the idea of other pronounciations have never really occurred to me. --75.157.161.226 (talk) 07:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- One of my former students worked with his daughter. At my request, the student confirmed with her that the correct pronunciation is indeed: Bart - el - may. Further, it is pronounced this way in an interview with Barthelme here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjokr7W1ixk - I fully expect the interviewer to ensure correct pronunciation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6011:F906:3007:998:9ED:97E1:C990 (talk) 13:53, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Awkward Sentence
"Having essentially an existential outlook, Barthelme looked hard at life and found much wanting, thus developing a sad, satiric outlook."

Essentially and existential are funny together and there two "outlooks" in this sentence. And Barthelme's "sad, satiric, existential outlook" should probably be backed up with a citation. Jordansc 04:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone used the Article as a Talk Page
So I deleted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.245.58 (talk) 17:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * kudos! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.170.229 (talk) 03:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Certain parallels
...have been drawn with Franz Kafka" ?? This sounds like a line from one of his (Barthelme's) stories. It makes you think, but I'd sure like to know what those parallels are. Wouldn't you? maxsch 05:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed the following line from style and legacy "Certain parallels have been drawn with Franz Kafka." I would love for it to stay, but there is no reference, no explanation of what those parallels are, and it was sort of a non-sequitor. Please someone make it a little more concrete and put it back in the article. maxsch 19:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Kenneth, What's the Frequency
From the Dan Rather wikipedia entry: In the December 2001 issue of Harper's Magazine, writer Paul Limbert Allman concluded that Professor Donald Barthelme (who died in 1989) had somehow orchestrated the attack through other unnamed persons, citing unusual passages in Barthelme's writing, including the phrase "What is the frequency?", a recurring character named Kenneth, and a short story about a pompous editor named Lather.[22] The article was adapted into two plays, both entitled "Kenneth, What is the Frequency?" The first was by Ian Allen and Monique LaForce and debuted in Washington, D.C., in 2003.[23] The second, written by Allman himself, premiered in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2004[24].

Surely this deserves inclusion ? 203.27.72.3 07:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I would say it does. We need a source that confirms this. Then we add it. Bulbous (talk) 03:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

 * It is an interesting article, and perhaps Barthelme did have a part in the attack on Rather. That's pure speculation: perhaps it was a coincidence, or the assailant(s) read Barthelme and acted independently.  Or perhaps Rather had always felt guilty in the literary eyes of Barthelme, and subconsciously substituted Barthelme's phrases upon being attacked.  Or Barthelme, Rather, and the attackers were all members of some larger secret society in which "Kenneth, what is the frequency" has some secret meaning.

 * The point being: I'm not sure it is worthy to include this sort of speculation (however interesting) in an encyclopedia. Perhaps it would merit inclusion if the Harper's article was a turning point in Barthelme's life, or if Barthelme was well know because of the article.  But he was already famous and dead when the article came out, so neither of those are the case.  Clearly, I'd vote to remove this section.  For now, I'll just change the title to match the Dan Rather article.Kjsharke (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 * The "Kenneth, what is the frequency?" section is mere speculation, and speculation of a rather humorous kind, I would have thought. It makes absolutely no sense for this section to be twice the length of the section dedicated to Barthelme's personal life, given that this entry is entitled "Donald Barthelme", not "Paul Limbert Allman's quirky CV". --Oulipal (talk) 09:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Vague artistic influence
I've been looking for information about Barthelme's clearly surrealist style and whether or not that was directly influenced by the big "S" Surrealists (as in Andre Breton and the like), and not just people whose style is surreal like Beckett and Kafka. That's why I found this particular phrase interesting: "Barthelme was also quite interested in and influenced by a number of contemporary artists." Can anybody expand on that or point me in a good direction so that I could expand on that? The Surrealists weren't contemporaries, of course, but I'm very curious about who these "contemporary artists" are -- I'm wondering if there's at least an indirect link there.F.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Shadowplay. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shadowplay~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:40, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Guiche piercing

A guiche piercing is a body piercing through the perineum. Guiche piercings are much more common in men than in women. Although a guiche normally runs perpendicular to the direction of the penis, lateral placements are possible. A series of guiche piercings in parallel to the direction of the penis is called a guiche ladder, and might commonly be seen as an extension of a frenum ladder.

Health issues
Depending on the anatomy of the individual, a guiche piercing can heal quickly with few complications, like a normal piercing, or it may require specialized initial jewelry and care, like a surface piercing. Due to the proximity to the anus, good hygiene is important both during the initial healing period, and on an ongoing basis after the piercing is healed. The estimated healing time for a guiche piercing is between 6 and 9 months. Sitting-related activities that place stress on the region may cause irritation to the site leading to the migration or rejection of the piercing.

Jewelry
Both captive bead rings and barbell-style jewelry are worn in guiche piercings, both as initial jewelry as well as after the piercing has healed. Guiche piercings can be stretched to large sizes and can accommodate flesh tunnel style jewelry, although the potential discomfort to the bearer may be radically increased. Guiche weights may be attached to the piercing, causing added sexual stimulation.

History and culture
Richard Simonton, also known by his pseudonym Doug Malloy, authored a pamphlet entitled Body & Genital Piercing in Brief which created much of the contemporary mythology surrounding the origin of various body piercings, including the guiche. In the pamphlet guiche piercing is described as originating in the South Pacific, most specifically Tahiti. Simonton's perspectives were coloured by his own enthusiasm for genital piercing as an erotic practice, and his materials are not considered to be accurate. Like many genital piercings, guiche piercings were primarily practiced in gay BDSM culture, prior to the resurgence of piercing in Western culture in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

It is sometimes used by couples for advanced power-play, being chained and/or locked to a Prince Albert piercing for the purpose of male genital infibulation and long term physical control (and the corresponding potent psychological control) over the submissive male through the practice of enforced chastity. In the most extreme cases, both rings are cemented, glued, or even soldered shut for a semi-permanent (removable only within a surgical setting) alternative to a chastity device to be worn over months or years at a time.

He's probably just trying to keep the bugs flying around from landing on his head or biting him. In the days before TV and the internet kept people indoors, they frequently sat outside on the porch on summer nights, which also exposed them to bugs, when there were no bug zappers either. 206.106.76.196 04:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

weird phrasing, lack of clarity

 * Handy was unable to gain acceptance to other schools because of what had happened at the University of Michigan. Handy was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania, but was told to leave after two weeks of classes.

I think this needs a bit of explanation... maybe some citations as well.

Rebecca Caine

Rebecca Caine (born 25 November 1959) is a Canadian light lyric soprano, and musical theatre performer.

Life and career
Caine was born in Toronto, Ontario and studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. She is the daughter of Australian statistician Geoffrey Watson and the granddaughter of British constitutional law scholar Sir William Ivor Jennings. Caine currently resides in London.

Caine's career has been divided between opera and musical theatre. She made her West End debut at the age of 19 in the role of Laurey in Oklahoma!. She then sang the role of Eliza in My Fair Lady on a national tour. While making her debut at Glyndebourne as Amor in L'incoronazione di Poppea, she was asked to join the Royal Shakespeare Company where she created the role of Cosette in Les Misérables.

After a successful West End run, she joined the original cast of The Phantom of the Opera to play Christine opposite Michael Crawford as alternate (performing 2 shows a week) when original Christine Sarah Brightman left the show and was replaced by the original alternate, Claire Moore.

When the rights to a Canadian production of Phantom were secured, producer Garth Drabinsky aggressively pursued Caine to reprise the role in Toronto. Andrew Lloyd Webber, who greatly admired Caine's portrayal of Christine in the London production, also strongly suggested she take the role. At the time, Caine was very close to signing a contract to star in another West End show. Ultimately, she chose Phantom and relocated to Toronto and also spent time in New York in early 1989 for principal cast rehearsals with director Hal Prince.

The Canadian production of The Phantom of the Opera premiered on September 20, 1989, at the restored Pantages Theatre, with Susan Cuthbert playing Christine two performances per week as Caine's alternate. The show broke then box office records for advance ticket sales, and ran for just over ten years. During her run in Toronto, she joined the Canadian Opera Company to make her North American operatic debut in the title role of Alban Berg's Lulu. This led to offers from numerous international opera companies ranging from Claudio Monteverdi to Peter Maxwell Davies, including Pamina, Despina, Susanna, Aminta (Il re pastore), Vixen, Michaela, Musetta, Ophelie, Leila, Marguerite, Violetta, Julietta (Bohuslav Martinů) and Adina for companies such as the Canadian Opera Company, Scottish Opera, English National Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Spoleto Festival, Opéra de Nice, Vlaamse Opera, New Zealand Opera, National Theatre of Prague, and Opera North. In 2006 she performed as Hanna Glawari in Franz Lehár's The Merry Widow for Opera Holland Park in London in 2006.

In 1996, Caine made a guest appearance on The Future Sound of London's album Dead Cities, performing operatic vocals on the song "Everyone in the World Is Doing Something Without Me".

On October 7, 2006, Caine reunited with her former cast colleagues from the original London production of Les Misérables to sing "One Day More" after a performance in celebration of the show's 21st anniversary making it the longest running musical in the world. The original cast reunited again in 2010 to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary at the O2 Arena in London.

In May 2009, Caine made her Chicago debut in the Chicago Opera Theater's production of Benjamin Britten's Owen Wingrave.

In December 2010, Caine returned to the musical theatre stage as Lady Raeburn in Salad Days produced by Tête à Tête.

In May 2011, Caine played Ottavia in a jazz adaptation of The Coronation of Poppea directed by Mark Ravenhill.

In the summer of 2012, Caine played Baroness Elsa Schraeder in the Sound of Music at the Kilworth House Theatre in Leicestershire. The production also featured Helena Blackman as Maria and Jan Hartley as Mother Abbess.

In March 2013, Caine played Lady Vale in Darling of the Day at the Union Theatre, London, marking the show's UK premiere after an initial 31-performance run on Broadway over four decades previously in 1968.

From November 2014-January 2015, Caine played Katisha in The Mikado at London's Charing Cross Theatre.

In December 2015-February 2016, Caine joined the Asolo Repertory Theatre Company in Sarasota, Florida making her straight acting debut as Raquel De Angellis in Living On Love.

In April 2015, Caine appeared as the Mother Abbess in a production of The Sound of Music in Lebanon. The following year she performed the role in a UK tour of the show from July–September 2016.

Caine appeared at the Sheffield Crucible in the world premiere of the new musical Flowers for Mrs Harris in the role of Lady Dant/Mme. Colbert from May to June 2016.

In addition to her work with opera and theatre companies, Caine continues to perform concerts and solo cabaret performances throughout Britain and North America. Caine has also taught for multiple years at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich.

Caine made her second appearance in a play from February–March 2018 as Mrs Chasen in Harold and Maude, alongside Sheila Hancock and later Linda Marlowe as Maude, at Charing Cross Theatre.

Caine returned to the role of Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music between December 2018-January 2019 at the Pattihio Theatre and Strovolos Municipal Theatre in Cyprus.

From September–October 2019, Caine appeared in the UK premiere of Preludes by Dave Malloy as hypnotherapist Nikolai Dahl at Southwark Playhouse. The cast later reunited in May 2021 for two livestreamed concert performances of the production from the same venue.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Caine taught independently and also appeared in standalone concerts such as A Merry Little Christmas Celebration at Chichester Festival Theatre in December 2020.

In November 2021, Caine appeared in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Howard Goodall and Stephen Clark's musical Love Story alongside the show's original performers, Michael D Xavier and Emma Williams.

From November 2018, Caine has been involved in the development of Conor Mitchell's opera Abomination: A DUP Opera with the Belfast Ensemble as British politician, Iris Robinson. A full staging of the show was mounted in November 2019 at Outburst Queer Arts Festival at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, where it was filmed and subsequently streamed to worldwide audiences in April 2020. Caine reunited with the ensemble from March–April 2022 to perform the opera at Ireland's national theatre, the Abbey Theatre, and then again at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast.

Caine performed the role of Margaret Johnson in The Light in the Piazza at Central City Opera in Colorado from 2–28 July in 2022.

Between 8 October-5 November, Caine premiered the role of Magda in Propaganda: A New Musical at the Lyric Theatre as part of the 2022 Belfast International Arts Festival. The new work, devised and directed by Conor Mitchell in a co-production between the Lyric Theatre and the Belfast Ensemble, is set during the Cold War in 1949 in East Berlin and described as a “Soviet love story…embroiled in the chaos of circumstance, art, love and American jazz”. Earlier initial development of the piece included a concert reading in April 2019 at the Lyric, under the title ‘The Young Pornographers’.

Leading Ladies
In May 2007, Caine released Leading Ladies, a collection of songs paying tribute to past "Leading Ladies of the British Musical Theatre Stage", from Gertrude Lawrence to Julie Andrews, with her then-collaborator and vocal coach Gerald Martin Moore on piano and vocals, playing a selection of their leading men, including Noël Coward.

They created two cabaret shows based on their Leading Ladies concept (the second show is entitled Leading Ladies of Hollywood) and have performed for sold-out crowds throughout the United Kingdom in venues such as the Jermyn Street Theatre in London and the Newbury Festival in Sydmonton.

World premieres
Caine's world premieres have included: Jezebel, presented by the Toronto Symphony (title role; oratorio by Robertson Davies and Derek Holman); Playing Away, presented by Opera North (role: L.A. Lola; by Howard Brenton and Benedict Mason); The Golden Ass, presented by the Canadian Opera Company (role: Fotis; by Robertson Davies and Randolph Peters); Mr Emmet Takes a Walk, presented by Psappha (6 female roles; by David Pountney and Peter Maxwell Davies); Mathilde, a musical by Conor Mitchell directed by Simon Callow (Edinburgh Fringe Festival); Intolerance, a one-woman opera by Mark Ravenhill and Conor Mitchell presented by Tête-à-Tête.

Ciao!
Wolcome to Wikipedia! I'll try to help you to start a new page. The trik I use is to write the name of the entry I'd like into the "search" pane on the left. If the page is missing, after pushing "Enter" you'll have a red link with its name at the top the new page which has opened. Just click on it and you'll be into the "edit" page for the new entry. After finished writing it, push the "save" button at the bottom of the edit page and you'll have created a new Wikipedia page!!! Some tricks: you can go to my Argirosoma page, push the "edit" at the top of the page and copy-paste the content to your new page. This way you'll have already the infobox, the style, the categories etc., and you'll have only to change the content itself. A check to WP:Manual of Style could be useful also to learn how to make a great Wikipedia page! Let me know... ask me further things if you need and... Good work!! --Attilios (talk) 16:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

William P. Black

William Perkins Black (November 11, 1842 – January 3, 1916) was a lawyer and veteran of the American Civil War. He received America's highest military decoration – the Medal of Honor – for his actions at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, in 1862.

Biography
He was the brother of John C. Black, Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, who was also a Medal of Honor recipient. The Black brothers are one of only five pairs of brothers to have received the Medal of Honor.

In 1867, together with Thomas Dent, Black founded the law firm of Dent & Black. As a lawyer, Black was best known for having served as defense counsel to the people charged with inciting the Haymarket Riot of 1886.

He died at his home in Chicago on January 3, 1916, and was buried at Graceland Cemetery.

Swiss Plateau

The Swiss Plateau or Central Plateau is one of the three major landscapes in Switzerland, lying between the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps. It covers about 30% of the Swiss surface area, and is partly flat but mostly hilly. The average height is between 400 m and 700 m AMSL. It is by far the most densely populated region of Switzerland, the center of economy and important transportation.

Geography
In the north and northwest, the Swiss Plateau is sharply delimited geographically and geologically by the Jura Mountains. In the south, there is no clear border with the Alps. Usually, the rising of the terrain to altitudes above 1500 metres AMSL (lime Alps, partly sub-alpine molasse), which is very abrupt in certain places, is taken as a criterion for delimitation. Occasionally the regions of the higher Swiss Plateau, especially the hills of the canton of Fribourg, the Napf region, the Töss region, the (lower) Toggenburg, and parts of the Appenzell region are considered to form the Swiss Alpine foreland in a narrow sense. However, if a division into the three main regions Jura Mountains, Swiss Plateau and Alps is considered, the Alpine foreland belongs clearly to the Swiss Plateau. In the southwest, the Swiss Plateau is confined by Lake Geneva, in the northeast, by Lake Constance and the Rhine.

Geologically, the Swiss Plateau is part of a larger basin that extends beyond the border of Switzerland. At its southwestern end, in France, the plateau, in the Genevois, ends at Chambéry where Jura and Alps meet. On the other side of Lake Constance, the plateau continues in the German and Austrian Pre-Alps.

Within Switzerland, the Swiss Plateau has a length of about 300 km, and its width increases from the west to the east: In the Geneva region, it is about 30 km, at Bern about 50 km and in eastern Switzerland about 70 km.

Many cantons of Switzerland include a part in the Swiss Plateau. Entirely situated within the Swiss Plateau are the cantons of Zürich, Thurgau and Geneva; mostly situated within the Swiss Plateau are the cantons of Lucerne, Aargau, Solothurn, Bern, Fribourg and Vaud; small portions of the Swiss Plateau are situated in the cantons of Neuchâtel, Zug, Schwyz, St. Gallen and Schaffhausen.

Geological layers
The geological layers of the Swiss Plateau are relatively well known. The base level is crystalline basement which outcrops in the central crystalline Alps as well as in the Black Forest and the Vosges mountain range but forms a deep geosyncline in the Swiss Plateau and in the Jura (see also Jurassic). Around 2500 – 3000 metres below the surface, but considerably deeper near the Alps, the drillings have hit the crystalline basement. It is covered by unfolded strata of Mesozoic sediments, which are part of the Helvetic nappes. Its depth gradually decreases from about 2.5 km in the west to 0.8 km in the east. These layers, like the ones of the Jura Mountains, were deposited in a relatively shallow sea, the Tethys Ocean. Above the Mesozoic layers, is the Molasse, consisting of conglomerate, sandstone, marl and shale. The uppermost layer consists of gravel and glacial sediments that have been transported by the glaciers of the ice ages.

Geologically the most important layer of the Swiss Plateau is the thick molasse sequence that accumulated at the border of the Alps due to the rapid erosion of the concurrently uplifted mountains. The thickness of the molasse increases from west to east (at the same distance from the Alps). The former alpine rivers built huge fans of sediment at the foot of the mountains. The most important examples are the Napf fan and the Hörnli fan; other sedimentary fans exist in the Rigi region, in the Schwarzenburg region and in the region between the eastern lake Geneva and the middle reaches of the Saane/Sarine.

The eroded material has been sorted by grain size. The coarse material was predominantly deposited near the Alps. In the middle of the plateau, there are finer sandstones and near the Jura, clays and marl.

During the Tertiary orogenic uplift, around 60 – 40 million years ago, the area of today's Swiss Plateau was a Karst plateau somewhat inclined to the south. Through processes of rising and lowering that were brought by the folding of the Alps, the area was twice flooded by a sea. The corresponding sediments are distinguished as sea molasse and freshwater molasse, even though the latter consists rather of fluvial and eolian sediments (a kind of mainland molasse).
 * Lower sea molasse (around 37 - 30 million years ago): The limestone plateau subsided gradually, and a shallow sea invaded, spreading east to the Carpathian Mountains. The sediments consisted of fine-grained sands, clay and marl. There were no conglomerate fans since the proper Alpine folding began only at the end of that period.
 * Lower freshwater molasse (around 30 - 22 million years ago): The sea receded because of uplift, but also because of a worldwide lowering of the mean sea level. The initiation of the Alpine orogeny and subsequent folding and uplift resulted in rapid erosion accompanied by the deposition of the first conglomerate fans.
 * Upper sea molasse (around 22 - 16 million years ago): For a second time, a shallow sea invaded. The formation of the conglomerate fans of the Napf and of the Hörnli began.
 * Upper freshwater molasse (about 16 - 2 million years ago): The sea receded as the formation of the Napf and Hörnli fans continued (along with other minor fans). At the end of this period, the thickness reached about 1500 meters.

In the following time, especially the western part of the plateau was again significantly risen, so that in this area, the sediments of the upper sweetwater molasse and the upper sea molasse have been largely eroded.

A characteristic of the sea molasses is fossil snails, shells and shark teeth, whereas in the sweetwater molasse, fossils of typical land mammals and former subtropical vegetation (for instance palm leaves) are found.

Ice ages
The contemporary landscape of the Swiss Plateau has been shaped by the ice age glaciers. During all the known alpine glaciations (Günz glaciation, Mindel glaciation, Riss glaciation and Würm glaciation), huge glaciers penetrated the Swiss Plateau. During the warm interglacials, the glaciers receded to the high alps (sometimes more than today) and subtropical vegetation spread in the plateau.

During the ice ages, the Rhône glacier split into two branches when leaving the Alps, covering the whole western Swiss Plateau and reaching today's regions of Solothurn and Aarau. In the region of Bern, it merged with the Aar Glacier. The glaciers of the Reuss, the Limmat and the Rhine advanced sometimes as well until the Jura. The glaciers formed the land by erosion, but also by base moraines (very fine stone meal) often several meters thick, and by the meltwater streams depositing gravel.

Traces of the older Günz and Mindel glaciation are only left in a few places because most have been removed or transferred by the later glaciations. The greatest extension was reached by the glaciers of the Riss glaciation, when the entire Swiss Plateau was covered with ice except for the Napf and Töss regions. Most notable are the traces of the Würm glaciation about 15 000 years ago. The end moraines of different glacial retreats have been conserved.

Glacial landscapes
A look at a map still reveals the directions where the ice age glaciers ran. The farthest expansion of the Rhône Glacier to the northeast is indicated by way the western Swiss Plateau valleys trend: The valleys of the Broye and the Glâne as well as Lake Murten, Lake Neuchâtel, and Lake Biel that trend all northeast, parallel to the Jura and to the Alps. The glaciers of the Reuss and the Limmat have carved the valleys of the central Swiss Plateau that trend northwest (among others including the valleys of the Wigger, the Suhre, the Seetal, the Reuss and the Limmat). The Rhine Glacier has mostly left traces that trend west: The eastern Swiss Plateau of the Thur Valley and Lake Constance. In certain places, there are characteristic drumlins of the base moraine, often clustered, especially in the highlands of Zürich, in the Hirzel region, in the Lake Constance region and between the Reuss Valley and the Lake Baldegg.

Another reminder of the glaciation are glacial erratics which are found all over the Swiss Plateau. These rocks, sometimes of enormous size, are of alien stones, mostly granite and gneiss from the central crystalline Alps. Taken together, they were one of the clues that led to the substantiation of the glaciation theory in the 19th century since transport by water or by volcanism was physically impossible.

Gravel deposits in the bottoms of the valleys are another testimonial of the glaciation. During the advances and withdrawals of the glaciers, gravel layers were deposited in the valleys, sometimes quite thick, though most of it eroded in the subsequent interglacials. Therefore, many valleys have characteristic terraces, the lower terraces consisting of Würm glaciation gravel, the higher terraces of Riss glaciation terraces. Sometimes, there is also gravel from older glaciations.

Topography
Even though the Swiss Plateau forms a basin, it is by no means a flat territory, but depending on the region, it has a manifold structure. Important elements are the two big lakes, Lake Geneva and Lake Constance that delimit the Swiss Plateau in the southwest and the northeast. The western plateau is stamped by the Gros-de-Vaud plateau (up to 600 meters AMSL) and the Jorat molasse hills (up to 900 meters AMSL) but is sometimes intersected by deep valleys. Only near the Jura, there is an almost continuous dip consisting of the Venoge and the Orbe valleys which are separated by the Mormont hill, the main watershed between Rhône and Rhine, at only 500 m AMSL. The Seeland ('lake land'), characterized by the Murten, Neuchâtel and Biel lakes, represents the biggest plain of the Swiss Plateau, though it is also interrupted by isolated molasse ranges. In the east, it is neighboured by various hill countries the height of which decreases to the north. Another major plain is the Wasseramt where the Emme runs. In a broad valley alongside the Jura, the Aare collects all the rivers that come down from the Alps.

The central Swiss Plateau is characterised by a number of ranges and broad valleys, some of them with lakes, that run northwest. The last of them is the Albis range, which together with the Heitersberg range forms a bar from the Alps to the Jura that the major transportations bypass only in a few places, mostly in tunnels.

The eastern Swiss Plateau is structured by the valleys of the Limmat (including Lake Zurich), the Glatt, the Töss, the Murg, the Thur, and the Sitter. Between them there are hill countries, in the canton of Thurgau also the broad molasse ranges of Seerücken (lit.: 'back of the lake') and Ottenberg north of the Thur, and the hilly ranges between the Thur and the Murg. This area is colloquially also known as Mostindien (lit.: 'Cider India').

Two hill countries get out of line with the mentioned landscapes: The Napf region (with 1408 me AMSL the highest point of the Swiss Plateau) and the Töss region (up to 1300 meters AMSL), both of them the remains of Tertiary conglomerate sediment fans. Since they were not glaciated, they have only been eroded by water, resulting in a dense net of deep, narrow valleys.

Climate and vegetation
The Swiss Plateau is situated within a transition zone between humid oceanic climate and continental temperate climate. The predominant wind comes from the west. In the lower plateau, the mean annual temperature is about 9 – 10 °C. In January, the Lake Geneva region and the watersides of lake Neuchâtel and Lake Biel have the highest mean temperature of about +1 °C. At the same height as AMSL, the temperature is decreasing towards the east. In the Lake Constance region, the mean temperature of the coldest month is -1 °C. In July, the mean temperature of Geneva is 20 °C, alongside the southern edge of the Jura it is 18 – 20 °C, and in higher regions 16 – 18 °C. With regard to mean sunshine duration, the Lake Geneva region is again advantaged with more than 1900 hours, whereas in the rest of the Swiss Plateau, it is between 1600 (especially in the east) and 1900 hours.

The annual average rainfall is between 800 millimetres near the Jura, 1200 millimetres in the higher regions and 1400 millimetres at the edge of the Alps. The driest regions of the plateau are in the lee of the High Jura between Morges and Neuchâtel. In the warmest regions at the lakes of Geneva and Neuchâtel, there are less than 20 days with a snow cover, whereas, in the rest of the plateau, it is between 20 and 40, depending on the height.

In the winter half-year, the air on the Swiss Plateau can stay still, with little exchange for the rest of the atmosphere, building a lake of cold air on the plateau and often a ceiling of high fog. The clouds look like an ocean of fog when seen from above, (usually around 800m) and hence are called the 'nebelmeer'. This weather is called inversion because the temperature below the fog is lower than the temperature above. Sometimes, it lasts for days or even for weeks, during which the neighbouring regions of the Alps and the Jura can have the brightest sunshine. Typical for the high fog is the bise, a cold wind from the northeast. Since it is channelled by the Swiss Plateau narrowing in the southwest, it reaches its major strength in the Lake Geneva region where wind speeds of 60 km/h with top speeds of more than 100 km/h are usual in typical bise weather. The regions near the Alps of the central and eastern plateau sometimes have temperature rises due to the warm foehn wind.

The dominating vegetation in the Swiss Plateau is a mixed broadleaf forest with European beeches and silver firs. For forestry, there are major plantations of Norway spruces in many places, though the Norway spruce naturally only grows in the mountains. In certain favoured spots that are warmer and drier, in the Lake Geneva region, in the Seeland and in the northern plateau between the Aare orifice and Schaffhausen, the predominant trees are oak, tilia and maple.

History of settlement
Humans began to settle the plateau in the Neolithic, starting with the banks of lakes and rivers. Major oppida were built after the Celts appeared in the 3rd century BC. Urban settlements with stone houses were built during the Roman Empire. The Swiss Plateau became a part of the Roman Empire in 15 BC when the Romans occupied the land of the Helvetii under the reign of Augustus, and it remained Roman until the end of the 3rd century. The most important Roman cities in the Swiss Plateau were Auenticum (today Avenches), Vindonissa (today Windisch), Colonia Iulia Equestris or, by its Celtic name, and Noviodunum (today Nyon). They were well connected by a net of Roman roads. After the retreat of the Roman Empire, the romanized Burgundians occupied the western Swiss Plateau, while the Alamanni settled in the central and eastern portions. The language border between French and German dialects originated in this contrast.

During the Middle Ages many towns were founded, especially in the climatically more favoured lower plateau. In 1500 there were already 130 towns, connected by a dense road network. With the rise of industrialisation in the early 19th century, cities became more and more important. In 1860 a drastic population growth of the cities started which lasted for about 100 years. In the 1970s, however, outmigration from the cities started. The municipalities surrounding the cities grew disproportionately, whereas the cities themselves lost inhabitants. In recent times the outmigration has moved farther away from the cities.

Today
Even though the Swiss Plateau takes only about 30% of the surface of Switzerland, 5 million people live there, which constitutes more than two-thirds of the Swiss population. The population density is 380 people per square kilometre. All the Swiss cities with more than 50 000 inhabitants except Basel and Lugano are situated in the plateau, especially Bern, Geneva, Lausanne and Zürich. The agglomerations of these cities are the most populous areas. Other densely populated areas are located at the south edge next to the Jura, and the agglomerations of Lucerne, Winterthur and St. Gallen. Regions of the higher Swiss Plateau like the Jorat region, the Napf region or the Töss region are comparatively scarcely populated with little farming villages and scattered farms.

A majority is German-speaking, though the west is French-speaking. The language border has been stable for many centuries even though it falls neither on a geographical nor on a political delimitation. It passes from Biel/Bienne over Murten and Fribourg to the Fribourg Alps. The cities of Biel/Bienne, Murten and Fribourg are officially bilingual. Localities along the language border usually use both names, the German and the French one, officially interchangeable.

Economy
Thanks to the favourable climate and fertile grounds, the lower western plateau is the most important agricultural region of Switzerland. The most important cultures are wheat, barley, maize, sugar beet and potato; especially in the Seeland, vegetables are very important, too. Along the northern shores of the lakes of Geneva, Neuchâtel, Bienne, Morat, as well as in the Zürich Weinland and Klettgau, there is viticulture. Grassland with dairy farming and beef production is predominant in the eastern plateau and in the higher regions. Especially in the Thurgau, fruit (apples) is important.

The forests in the Swiss Plateau are used in forestry. There are many Norway Spruce forestations, often in monoculture because of their valuable timber.

With respect to industry, the plateau is the most important region of Switzerland. The traditional textile industries are situated especially in the central and eastern regions. During the last decades, however, it lost importance. Today's most important industries are the machine industry, the automotive industry, the electrical industry, the fine & micro mechanical, watch & electronic industries, next to the optical and metal construction. The food industry processes domestic as well as foreign produces. Furthermore, wood processing and paper converting are also important.

Like all of Switzerland, there are few mineral resources. Thanks to the Ice Age glaciers, there is plenty of gravel and clay. The gravel digging in the Ice Age gravel terraces all over the Swiss Plateau covers the demands of the construction industry.

Numerous hydroelectric power plants in the rivers produce electricity. All four Swiss nuclear power plants are situated on the plateau.

Transportation
Because of the comparatively easy topography and the dense population, the transport network is highly developed. The most important transversal, so to speak the backbone of the Swiss Plateau, is the A1 motorway that connects all the big cities going from Geneva over Lausanne, Bern, Zürich and Winterthur to St. Gallen. The A2, the Swiss north-south axis, crosses the plateau from Olten to Luzern.

The railway network is very dense. All major cities are connected, and between Olten and Lausanne, there are two main lines: One passing over Bern and Fribourg, the other passing over the edge of the Jura with Solothurn, Biel, Neuchâtel and Yverdon-les-Bains. The train ride from Zürich to Bern takes one hour; crossing the entire Swiss Plateau from St. Gallen to Geneva takes four hours.

The two most important Swiss airports are situated on the plateau, Zurich Airport and Geneva Cointrin Airport. The de facto capital of Switzerland, Bern, has only a small airport, Bern Belpmoos Airport.

Härkingen respectively Niederbipp and Zürich are scheduled as one of the eight hubs of the proposed Cargo Sous Terrain, an underground cargo transport system those first phase of about 70 km is planned by the early 2030s.

Tourism
Compared to the Swiss Alps, the plateau, and especially the rural plateau, is less geared towards tourism. It serves as a transit region. Visitors mainly come to see the major towns and cities with their historical sights and attractions, especially the Old Towns of Bern and Lucerne, but also Zürich, Biel/Bienne, St. Gallen, Fribourg, Geneva and Lausanne. An important natural touristic attraction is the Rhine Fall near Schaffhausen. The lakes also attract tourists, and then there are several spa towns, Baden, Schinznach-Bad, Yverdon-les-Bains and Zurzach, thanks to their hydrothermal vents.

Zürich Wilderness Park is the largest mixed deciduous and coniferous forest in the plateau, and includes the Sihl forest and Langenberg, the oldest Swiss wildlife park. The park covers approximately 12 km2.

Black Kiss

Black Kiss is a hardboiled erotic American comic book limited series written and drawn by Howard Chaykin, which was originally published in 1988 by Vortex Comics.

The series' explicit sex scenes and the inclusion of transexual femme fatale Dagmar Laine saw Black Kiss labelled among the most controversial comic series of the late 1980s. A sequel series, Black Kiss 2, followed in 2012.

Creation
Writer-artist Howard Chaykin had already carved out a reputation as an acclaimed but controversial creator with the independent series American Flagg! and his violent reboots of The Shadow and Blackhawk for DC Comics before he began pitching Black Kiss. His decision to write the book was influenced by DC's ill-fated attempt to introduce an internal ratings system for its comics.

Chaykin wrote a four-page outline for the story some years before under the working title Smoke Dreams, expanding it to full script in 1987 after leaving DC. He labelled the series as an "erotic horror" and noted that this put several publishers off producing it, going with Bill Marks' Canadian company Vortex Comics when he didn't baulk at the contents.

Chaykin told Amazing Heroes: - "'Black Kiss is about blackmail and pornography and making fun of people and public humiliation and people caught up in situations they can't do anything about... and the importance of wearing the right outfit for the right social occasion.'" Despite this he felt there were elements of comedy in the storyline. Later, he described his thinking behind tackling such controversial topics: - "'The book was done at a time when there was serious talk about trying to create a rating's system for comics, and the idea was that I would do a book that would be appalling and offensive...and funny.'"

Chaykin would later acknowledge the films of Alfred Hitchcock, the novels of Alan Furst and Raymond Chandler and his own experiences living in Los Angeles as influences on Black Kiss. He also claimed Dagmar was partly inspired by "Puerto Rican drag queens" he had worked alongside at an art studio, and an encounter with a "transvestite doppelganger" of a previous girlfriend on Madison Avenue, while much of the architecture was based on real properties in California - particularly Glendale, while sex scenes were modelled on stills from Adult Video Review.

Publication history
Ahead of the release of the first issue, Marks described the series as "100% unrestricted Howard Chaykin", with Chaykin himself noting Black Kiss would "offend just about everyone who reads it". The series was split into 10-page chapters, published in a 16-page monthly comic., priced at $1.25 per issue - a high price at the time. The story was in black-and-white, which Chaykin felt was necessary for it to work. To help retailers who had worries over selling what could be described as pornography, Vortex released the series sealed in a plastic bag. This meant that casual browsers could not open the comic, or obviously see the internal content; inside the bag the book featured additional black card sleeves to hide the covers. The book's sexually explicit content led to Vortex's regular printer refusing to handle the series from the fifth issue onwards.

Partway through the series' initial publication, Chaykin told Heidi MacDonald he was pleased with the strong initial reaction to the book, and felt that it got doing a sexually-orientated book "got it out of my system", taking a shot at his peers by noting "I have more than one idea". He called it "the most vilified comic book in the country right now" but defended the book's salacious nature by noting that if readers "can find anything to jerk off to in that book, I'm astounded.". Chaykin also claimed he had received further offers to work on other erotic comics, which he dismissed because he was "tired of reading sex stuff by guys who have never had a date". Vortex reported the title was selling around 50,000 copies an issue; Marks claimed this made it the third-best selling independent title on the market (behind Mirage Studios' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dark Horse Comics' Aliens), though as The Comics Journal pointed out this was due to Marks using his own definition of 'independent' that conflicted with that used by most others in the industry.

Following the conclusion of the series' initial publication in 1989, Vortex repackaged it as a three-part mini-series called Big Black Kiss, reprinting four chapters a time in a 48-page, $3.25 format. The series did attract legal attention. In 1989, customs officers in New Zealand seized imported copies of Big Black Kiss on grounds of indecency; at the time law in the country regarded all comics as children's literature and made no account of material intended for adult readers. Following a raid on London comic store Edge of Forever saw several titles seized under the Obscene Publications Act 1964, British police identified Black Kiss as "unacceptable in any format".

The series was collected into trade paperback format several times, including Thick Black Kiss from Vortex in 1993 (ISBN 0921451067) with an introduction by Sam Hamm and a 2002 edition released by Eros Comix (ISBN 1560973803). In 2010, it was collected again by Dynamite Entertainment. Interviewed around the release of the Dynamite edition, Chaykin noted that the book's various reprintings had made it one of his most profitable works.

Translations
Black Kiss was also translated into several languages - a German edition was published by Austrian publisher Comicothek, including a three-part softcover edition in 1992 as well as a limited hardcover collection in the mid-1990s; a hardcover collection from Norma Editorial in Spanish in 2003; a softcover translated into French in 2010 by Delcourt; as a trade paperback and a hardcover collection by Devir in Portuguese in 2011; and as a trade paperback by Planeta Komiksów in Polish in 2016.

Plot synopsis
The series is set in Los Angeles in the 1980s and opens with Dagmar Laine, a transsexual prostitute and lover to former 1950s film star Beverly Grove, searching for a reel of film taken from the Vatican's collection of pornography. The reel has been sent to Father Frank Murtaugh by his brother who is a Cardinal in the Vatican. Laine tries to grab the reel from Father Murtaugh but the reel is stolen by a nun.

Laine and Grove then get Cass Pollack, a jazz musician and ex-heroin addict who is on the run from the Mafia, to steal the reel in return for them providing Pollack with an alibi. Pollack is also on the run from the police, due to the Mafia killing Pollack's wife and daughter and Pollack being the only suspect.

Laine and Grove (who look virtually identical) provide Pollack with a lead as to where the reel is after the death of Father Murtaugh. This takes Pollack first of all to an occult bookshop called "The Oath of Incannabulata" where he steals a copy of a book about the mysterious "Order of Bonniface". After the bookshop he ends up in a funeral home called "Tanas" where he finds a number of celebrities indulging in bizarre rituals.

Going through Murtaugh's possessions, Pollack finds an invitation to the next meeting of the "Order of Bonniface". He attends this and discovers the Order was formed at the beginning of Hollywood's movie era and that they worship Charles 'Bubba' Kenton, a 1920s film star who was also married to Beverly Grove. He discovers that Kenton forced Grove to give their daughter Sophie up shortly before Kenton became a vampire. After becoming a vampire Kenton forms The Order of Bonniface and turns many of his followers into vampires, including Beverly Grove. This gives Grove the chance of revenge over the loss of her daughter and she switches Kenton's alarm clock so that he wakes during the day and dies in the sunlight.

However The Order want the reel of film as it shows Beverly Grove and Bubba Kenton together in a pornographic film which shows that Grove is much older than she claims to be to the world. They hope she can turn them into vampires and therefore give them eternal youth.

However one of The Order, a young woman called Magda, wants Grove to only make her a vampire. This is because she is Grove's granddaughter, in addition to the nun who stole the reel from Father Murtaugh earlier in the story. Pollack becomes caught in the middle as everyone around him attempts to win, leaving Pollack in a position where he seems unable to survive.

Reception
Reviewing the first three issues for Amazing Heroes, Donald K. Niven had mixed feelings. While he praised some of Black Kiss ' storytelling techniques and uniqueness, Niven felt that too much of the series was shaped by a desire to shock, and concluded that readers were "more mature than Chaykin pretends to be.". He also felt Chaykin's art made it difficult to see that Bev and Dagmar were intended to look identical. Rob Rodi of The Comics Journal was impressed by the book's "chutzpah", noting "It’s so arrogant it’s funny; you laugh out loud" but found the series wearying as it went on. Darcy Sullivan was also unmoved in a later issue, feeling Chaykin played Black Kiss "for giggles, hanging a soupcon of stylistic tricks on the most contrived of plots, and seems most interested in referencing low artforms: hard-boiled pulp fiction, porn films, vampire comics.". Comics writer Grant Morrison has described Black Kiss as "adolescent homophobic mummy's boy jerk-off fantasy drivel." In response, Chaykin would accuse Morrison of "utterly humourless self-regard". Chaykin's portrayal of transgender characters, including Dagmar, has been criticised as transphobic.

Matt Fraction would later praise the series, seeing it as a logically absurd extension of "exploiting all of the totemic sex fetishes the comics world had loved him for to date: big asses and hiked-up skirts; garters and blow jobs", describing Black Kiss as "poisonous and bitter, an absurdly funny sucker punch demanding to be spat out." Reviewing the 2010 collected edition for Slings & Arrows, Frank Plowright felt the series would never achieve its deserved acclaim due to its sexual content, feeling that behind this there "is a well-thought out plot that swerves away from expectation and contains some great sequences". Lars Ingebrigsten was less effuse, feeling Chaykin's flashy storytelling was used to compensate for a weak plot.

Film adaptation
From the start, Chaykin hoped to get Black Kiss made as a film parallel to the comic's publications, initially getting some involvement from an independent producer; he would humorously note that this wasn't to be a pornographic production, but R-rated. He wanted to cast Ray Sharkey as Cass but felt it would be difficult to find a transsexual to play Dagmar who would look convincingly close to Bev. Had money not been an object, Chaykin stated he would want Kim Basinger to play both roles. However, the project would not come to fruition.

Sequel
Chaykin produced a sequel, Black Kiss 2, in 2012 for Image Comics.
