Iain Quarrier
Iain Quarrier (April 12, 1941 – 2016) was a Canadian actor. He appeared in only five movies in the mid- to late 1960s before retiring from the film business following the murder of his close friend Sharon Tate in 1969. Career Quarrier began his career in two films directed by Roman Polanski; ''Cul-de-sac'' (1966) and ''Fearless Vampire Killers'' (1967). In 1968, along with Jean-Luc Godard, he acted in and produced the film '' One Plus One''. When the film was shown at the London Film Festival, Godard was so dissatisfied with Quarrier's production that he appealed at the premiere for the audience to ask for their money back. A heated argument followed with Godard punching Quarrier. Quarrier was a close friend of Roman Polanski and his wife Sharon Tate. On 8 August 1969, the night of the murder of Tate and four other people by the Manson Family, he had been invited by Tate to her house. However, he was delayed during filming of ''Vanishing Point'' in the California desert (Qua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Korsakoff's Syndrome
Korsakoff syndrome (KS) is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by amnesia, deficits in explicit memory, and confabulation. This neurological disorder is caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) in the brain, and it is typically associated with and exacerbated by the prolonged, excessive ingestion of alcohol. Korsakoff syndrome is often accompanied by Wernicke encephalopathy; this combination is called Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome. Korsakoff syndrome is named after Sergei Korsakoff, the Russian neuropsychiatrist who described it during the late 19th century. Signs and symptoms There are seven major symptoms of Korsakoff syndrome, an amnestic- confabulatory syndrome: # anterograde amnesia, memory loss for events after the onset of the syndrome # retrograde amnesia, memory loss extends back for some time before the onset of the syndrome # amnesia of fixation, also known as fixation amnesia (loss of immediate memory, a person being unable to re ...

Prohibitive Activity Order
The imperative mood is a grammatical mood that forms a command or request. The imperative mood is used to demand or require that an action be performed. It is usually found only in the present tense, second person. To form the imperative mood, use the base form of the verb. They are sometimes called ''directives'', as they include a feature that encodes directive force, and another feature that encodes modality of unrealized interpretation. An example of a verb used in the imperative mood is the English phrase "Go." Such imperatives imply a second-person subject (''you''), but some other languages also have first- and third-person imperatives, with the meaning of "let's (do something)" or "let them (do something)" (the forms may alternatively be called cohortative and jussive). Imperative mood can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation . It is one of the irrealis moods. Formation Imperative mood is often expressed using special conjugated verb forms.
