Frank Miller
Frank Miller was born January 27, 1957. Miller was born in Olney, Maryland, and raised in Montpelier, Vermont. He was the fifth of seven children. His mother was a nurse and his father was a carpenter and electrician. His family was Irish Catholic. Miller was formerly married to colorist Lynn Varley, who colored many of his noted works from Ronin through 300 and the backgrounds to the movie 300. Miller and Varley divorced in 2005. He has since been romantically linked to New York-based Shakespearean scholar Kimberly Halliburton Cox, who had a cameo in The Spirit. Living in New York influenced Miller's material in the 1980s. Miller lived in Los Angeles, California in the 1990s, which influenced Sin City. Miller moved back to Hell's Kitchen by 2001 and started creating Batman. Miller is an American writer, artist, and film director best known for his dark, film noir-style comic book stories such as Batman The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City and graphic novels Ronin, Daredevil Born Again, Batman The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, and 300. He also directed the film version of The Spirit, shared directing duties with Robert Rodriguez on Sin City and produced the film 300.
When he first showed up in New York Miller showed up with a bunch of comics and samples of guys in trench coats by old cars and such. Comic editors said, 'Where are the guys in tights?' He had to learn how to do it. But as soon as a title came along Daredevil signature artist Gene Colan left Daredevil, he realized it was his calling to do crime comics with a superhero in them. And so he applied for the title and got it. Miller's debut on the title Daredevil, was the finale of an ongoing story written by Roger McKenzie and inked by Klaus Janson. Although still conforming to traditional comic book styles, Miller infused this first issue with his own film noir style. Miller became one of Marvel's rising stars. Miller sketched the roofs of New York in an attempt to give his Daredevil art an authentic feel

    K. Cheng (1986) suggested that learning the geometry of enclosing surfaces takes place in a geometric module blind to other spatial information. Failures to find blocking or overshadowing of geometry learning by features near a goal seem consistent with this view. The authors present an operant model in which learning spatial features competes with geometry learning, as in the Rescorla–Wagner model. Relative total associative strength of cues at a location determines choice of that location and thus the frequencies of reward paired with each cue. The model shows how competitive learning of local features and geometry can appear to result in potentiation, blocking, or independence, depending on enclosure shape and kind of features. The model reproduces numerous findings from dry arenas and water mazes. Keywords: spatial learning, geometric module, Rescorla–Wagner model, associative learning, water maze…

    Lucas was born in La Grange, North Carolina and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina.[8] He claims that the incident that sparked his motivation to embark on a life of crime was witnessing his 12-year-old cousin 's murder at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, for apparently "reckless eyeballing" (looking at a Caucasian woman), in Greensboro, North Carolina.[5] He drifted through a life of petty crime until one particular occasion when after a fight with a former employer he fled to New York on the advice of his mother.[5] In Harlem he indulged in petty crime and pool hustling before he was taken under the wing of gangster Bumpy Johnson.[5] Lucas ' connection to Bumpy has since come under some doubt; he claimed to have been Johnson 's driver for 15 years, although Johnson spent just 5 years out of prison before his death in 1968. According to Johnson 's widow, much of the narrative that Lucas claims as his actually belonged to another young hustler named Zach Walker, who lived with Bumpy and his family and later betrayed him.[9]…

    Baseball has always been America's national pastime. In the early and all the way into the mid 50's, baseball was America and America was baseball. The only thing lacking in the great game was the absence of African American players and the presence of an all white sport. America still wasn't friendly or accepted the African American race and many still held great prejudice towards them. All this would change when the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey decided he was going to sign a Negro player. Jackie Robinson was that player and Jackie Robinson changed the game, America, and history. By looking specifically at his childhood adversity, college life and the hardships he encountered by becoming the first black player in the game, it will be shown why Jackie Robinson is a great American story and hero.…
