[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil balanced straight, such that minor air movements can cause it to rotate]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using held or balanced pencils to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class like them.<ref name=mail/>

Originally described on the Internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==

===Four pencils===
In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==History==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class found them attractive.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

==Explanation==
Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> [[Chris French]], head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as "a [[Vine (service)|Vine]]-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A.

Pastor Carl Gallups told [[WPTF]] news radio "I have done some experiments with this, and I think people are being punked.

Fred Clark and [[Rebecca Watson]] liken the phenomenon of pencils moving on a desk to [[James Hydrick]]'s debunked claim that he could move a pencil on a desk by [[psychokinesis]].<ref name=slacktivist>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/05/29/the-charliecharliechallenge-doesnt-lead-to-demonic-possession-but-it-can-nurture-credulity-and-willful-ignorance-which-is-worse/|title=The ‘CharlieCharlieChallenge’ doesn’t lead to demonic possession — but it can nurture credulity and willful ignorance, which is worse|author=Fred Clark|date=29 May 2015|work=Patheos.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://skepchick.org/2015/05/charlie-charlie-the-science-of-summoning-demons-with-pencils-for-fun-and-profit/|title=Charlie Charlie: The Science of Summoning Demons with Pencils for Fun and Profit|work=Skepchick|author=[[Rebecca Watson]]|date=30 May 2015}}</ref>

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations.

The '''Grammy Award for Best Recording Package''' is one of a series of [[Grammy Awards]] presented for the visual look of an album. It is presented to the art director of the winning album, not to the performer(s), unless the performer is also the art director.

The Grammy Award for '''Best Album Cover''' dates back to the first Grammy Awards in 1959. From 1962 to 1965 it was separated into '''Classical''' and '''Non-Classical''' divisions. From 1966 to 1968 it was separated into '''Graphic Arts''' and '''Photography''' divisions. In 1974, the name of the award was changed to '''Best Album Package''', and changed again in 1994 to the current name. In 1995, boxed sets were no longer eligible, as they were split off into a separate award, currently known as the [[Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package]].

Charlie Charlie Challenge

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil balanced precariously such that minor air movements can cause it to rotate]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using held or balanced pencils to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class like them.<ref name=mail/>

Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==History==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class found them attractive.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online.

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil balanced precariously such that minor air movements can cause it to rotate]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using held or balanced pencils to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class like them.<ref name=mail/>

Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil balanced precariously such that minor air movements can cause it to rotate]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using held or balanced pencils to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class like them.<ref name=mail/>

Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==Reactions==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class fancied them.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref> In Colombia, four teenage girls were sent to a hospital in [[Tunja]] and quickly released with a diagnosis of [[mass hysteria]].<ref>http://colombiareports.com/charlie-charlie-challenge-sends-4-hysteric-teens-to-hospital-in-central-colombia/</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> [[Chris French]], head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as a "a [[Vine (service)|Vine]]-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A. Hill|Sharon Hill]] argues that teenagers playing the game "overreact because of the peer situation."<ref name=sharonhill/>

Various media outlets described participants in the games as gullible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/charlie-charlie-challenge-heres-everything-5760769|quote=Brave (or gullible) participants must then repeat the words "Charlie, Charlie are you here" to summon a visit from a demon.|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge: Here's everything you need to know about the bizarre internet craze|work=Mirror.ko.uk}}</ref><ref name=inquisitr>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/2117579/tweeting-christians-on-the-charlie-charlie-challenge-please-step-away-from-the-demon/|quote=In this one, two pencils are crossed over four squares.

Fred Clark and [[Rebecca Watson]] liken the phenomenon of pencils moving on a desk to [[James Hydrick]]'s debunked claim that he could move a pencil on a desk by [[psychokinesis]].<ref name=slacktivist>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/05/29/the-charliecharliechallenge-doesnt-lead-to-demonic-possession-but-it-can-nurture-credulity-and-willful-ignorance-which-is-worse/|title=The ‘CharlieCharlieChallenge’ doesn’t lead to demonic possession — but it can nurture credulity and willful ignorance, which is worse|author=Fred Clark|date=29 May 2015|work=Patheos.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://skepchick.org/2015/05/charlie-charlie-the-science-of-summoning-demons-with-pencils-for-fun-and-profit/|title=Charlie Charlie: The Science of Summoning Demons with Pencils for Fun and Profit|work=Skepchick|author=[[Rebecca Watson]]|date=30 May 2015}}</ref>

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations.

[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|right|[[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech was one of the 50 recordings added on the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.]]
The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]]. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of [[recording]]s selected yearly by the [[National Recording Preservation Board]] for preservation in the [[Library of Congress]].<ref name="CR">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref>

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB"/> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 450 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2016|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil balanced precariously such that minor air movements can cause it to rotate]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using held or balanced pencils to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class like them.<ref name=mail/>

Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==Reactions==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class fancied them.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref> In Colombia, four teenage girls were sent to a hospital in [[Tunja]] and quickly released with a diagnosis of [[mass hysteria]].<ref>http://colombiareports.com/charlie-charlie-challenge-sends-4-hysteric-teens-to-hospital-in-central-colombia/</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> [[Chris French]], head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as a "a [[Vine (service)|Vine]]-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A. Hill|Sharon Hill]] argues that teenagers playing the game "overreact because of the peer situation."<ref name=sharonhill/>

Various media outlets described participants in the games as gullible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/charlie-charlie-challenge-heres-everything-5760769|quote=Brave (or gullible) participants must then repeat the words "Charlie, Charlie are you here" to summon a visit from a demon.|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge: Here's everything you need to know about the bizarre internet craze|work=Mirror.ko.uk}}</ref><ref name=inquisitr>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/2117579/tweeting-christians-on-the-charlie-charlie-challenge-please-step-away-from-the-demon/|quote=In this one, two pencils are crossed over four squares.

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations.

The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]].

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB"/> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 450 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2015|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]]. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of [[recording]]s selected yearly by the [[National Recording Preservation Board]] for preservation in the [[Library of Congress]].<ref name="CR">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref>

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB"/> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 450 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2015|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

==2002==
On January 27, 2003, the following 50 selections were announced by the National Recording Preservation Board.<ref name="NRR2">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/registry/nrpb-2002reg.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= The National Recording Registry 2002 |date=December 6, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>

Charlie Charlie Challenge

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using [[Stationery|office supplies]] to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class fancy them.<ref name=mail/>
Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==Reactions==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class fancied them.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref> In Colombia, four teenage girls were sent to a hospital in [[Tunja]] and quickly released with a diagnosis of [[mass hysteria]].<ref>http://colombiareports.com/charlie-charlie-challenge-sends-4-hysteric-teens-to-hospital-in-central-colombia/</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> Christopher French, head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as a "a [[Vine (service)|Vine]]-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A. Hill|Sharon Hill]] argues that teenagers playing the game "overreact because of the peer situation."<ref name=sharonhill/>

Various media outlets described participants in the games as gullible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/charlie-charlie-challenge-heres-everything-5760769|quote=Brave (or gullible) participants must then repeat the words "Charlie, Charlie are you here" to summon a visit from a demon.|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge: Here's everything you need to know about the bizarre internet craze|work=Mirror.ko.uk}}</ref><ref name=inquisitr>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/2117579/tweeting-christians-on-the-charlie-charlie-challenge-please-step-away-from-the-demon/|quote=In this one, two pencils are crossed over four squares.

Fred Clark and [[Rebecca Watson]] liken the phenomenon of pencils moving on a desk to [[James Hydrick]]'s debunked claim that he could move a pencil on a desk by [[psychokinesis]].<ref name=slacktivist>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/05/29/the-charliecharliechallenge-doesnt-lead-to-demonic-possession-but-it-can-nurture-credulity-and-willful-ignorance-which-is-worse/|title=The ‘CharlieCharlieChallenge’ doesn’t lead to demonic possession — but it can nurture credulity and willful ignorance, which is worse|author=Fred Clark|date=29 May 2015|work=Patheos.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://skepchick.org/2015/05/charlie-charlie-the-science-of-summoning-demons-with-pencils-for-fun-and-profit/|title=Charlie Charlie: The Science of Summoning Demons with Pencils for Fun and Profit|work=Skepchick|author=[[Rebecca Watson]]|date=30 May 2015}}</ref>

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations. With those boards, players have to keep hold of a glass while it moves around the table—so it's not difficult to imagine that people might be pushing it around without knowing it."<ref name=griffin1>{{cite web|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge explained: it's just gravity—not a Mexican demon being summoned|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/weird-news/charlie-charlie-challenge-explained-its-not-a-mexican-demon-being-summoned--its-gravity-10276557.html|work=The Independent|date=27 May 2015}}</ref>

The '''Shawangunk Ridge''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|ɑː|w|ə|ŋ|ɡ|ʌ|ŋ|k}}, also known as the '''Shawangunk Mountains''' or '''The Gunks''',<ref name="Swain"/> is a [[ridge]] of bedrock in [[Ulster County, New York|Ulster County]], [[Sullivan County, New York|Sullivan County]] and [[Orange County, New York|Orange County]] in the state of [[New York]], extending from the northernmost point of [[New Jersey]] to the [[Catskill Mountains]]. Shawangunk Ridge is the continuation of the long, easternmost ridge of the Appalachian Mountains; the ridge is known as [[Kittatinny Mountain]] in New Jersey, and as [[Blue Mountain (Pennsylvania)|Blue Mountain]] as it continues through Pennsylvania. This ridge constitutes the western border of the [[Great Appalachian Valley]].
[[File:Location of Shawangunk Ridge, NY.png|thumb|400px|Shawangunk Ridge is designated by the dashed red lines.]]

The ridgetop, which widens considerably at its northern end, has many public and private [[protected area]]s and is not heavily populated. Its only settlement of consequence is unincorporated [[Cragsmoor, New York|Cragsmoor]]. In the past, the ridge was chiefly noted for mining and logging and a boom-era of [[huckleberry]] picking. Fires were regularly set to burn away the undergrowth and stimulate new growth of huckleberry bushes.

Today the ridge has become known for its outdoor recreation, most notably as one of the major [[climbing|rock climbing]] areas of North America. Also known for its [[biodiversity]] and scenic character, the ridge has been designated by [[The Nature Conservancy]] as a significant area for its conservation programs.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/newyork/preserves/art12373.html |title=Eastern: Shawangunk Mountains |publisher=The Nature Conservancy}}</ref>

==Name==
The English name, Shawangunk, derives from the Dutch ''Scha-wan-gunk,'' the closest European transcription from the colonial deed record of the Munsee Lenape, Schawankunk (German orthography).

Lenape linguist Raymond Whritenour reports that ''schawan'' is an inanimate [[intransitive verb]] meaning "it is smoky air" or "there is smoky air". Its noun-like participle is ''schawank,'' meaning "that which is smoky air". Adding the locative suffix gives us ''schawangunk'' "in the smoky air".<ref>Spatz, Christopher Spring 2005, "Smoke Signals", ''Shawangunk Watch''</ref>

Whritenour has suggested that the name derives from the burning of a Munsee [[fort]] by the Dutch at the eastern base of the ridge in 1663 (a massacre ending the [[Esopus Wars|Second Esopus War]]). Use of the name spread quickly, and it was recorded in numerous land deeds and patents after the war. Historian Marc B. Fried writes:
<blockquote>"It is conceivable that this was...the Indians' own proper name for their village [and fort] and that the name was appropriated for use in subsequent land dealings because of the proximity of the...tracts to the former Indian village....The second possibility is that the name simply came into existence in connection with the Bruyn [purchase of Jan., 1682, the first appearance of the name in documentary record], as a phrase invented by the Indians to describe some feature of the landscape."<ref>Fried, Marc B., 2005. ''Shawangunk Place-Names'', pp.5-6</ref></blockquote>Fried also notes that the name's swift spread in the deed record suggests it was in use as a proper name before the Bruyn purchase. Shawangunk appears nowhere in reference to the fort in the extensive, translated Dutch record of the Second Esopus War. Shawangunk became associated with the ridge during the 18th century.

European colonists began to truncate Shawangunk into "Shongum" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|ɑː|n|.|ɡ|ʌ|m}} {{respell|SHAHN|gum}}). Shongum was mistakenly identified as the Munsee pronunciation by the Reverend Charles Scott writing on Shawangunk's etymology for the Ulster County Historical Society in 1861.<ref>Spatz, Christopher Fall/Winter 2006, "The Vast Shon-gum Conspiracy," ''Shawangunk Watch''</ref> The error has been reinforced in ethnographic sources and ridge literature, and by historians, librarians, and ridge educators for more than 140 years.

Both "Shawangunk" and "Shongum" are popular usages among locals native to the region. The "Gunks" is also a widely used familiar term for the ridge and has been in use at least since the mid-19th century. In a letter dated August and postmarked August 8, 1838, Hudson River School painter [[Thomas Cole]] corresponding with painter [[A.B. Durand]] writes, "Do let me hear from you when you get among ''the Gunks''. I hope you will find every thing there your heart can wish."<ref>Document of the Daniel Smiley Research Center, Mohonk Preserve via New York State Museum</ref> The Shawangunks, particularly around Lake Mohonk, were the subject for several Hudson River School painters.

==Geography==
The Shawangunk Ridge is the northern end of a long ridge within the [[Appalachian Mountains]] that begins in [[Virginia]], where it is called [[North Mountain (Virginia-West Virginia)|North Mountain]], continues through Pennsylvania as [[Blue Mountain (Pennsylvania)|Blue Mountain]], becomes known as the [[Kittatinny Mountains]] after it crosses the [[Delaware Water Gap]] into [[New Jersey]] and becomes the Shawangunks at the New York state line. These mountains mark the western and northern edge of the [[Great Appalachian Valley]].<ref name="Swain">{{cite book|last=Swain|first=Todd|title=The Gunks Guide|date=2004-12-01|publisher=Falcon Guides|series=Regional Rock Climbing|isbn=0762738367}}</ref>

The ridge is widest (7.5 miles/12 kilometers) near the northern end, narrow in the middle (1.25 miles/under 2 kilometers) with a maximum elevation of 2,289 feet (698 m) near [[Lake Maratanza]] on the Shawangunk Ridge. The Ridge rises above a broad, high plain which stretches to the [[Hudson River]] to the east. On the west the low foot-hills of the [[Appalachian Mountains]] mingle with a low flat made by the [[Rondout Creek]] and Sandburgh Creek, the [[Basha Kill]] and various small kills as well as the [[Neversink River]] and [[Delaware River]] at the southern end. These adjacent valleys are underlain by relatively weak sedimentary rock (e.g., sandstone, shale, limestone).

==Natural environment==

There is an unusual diversity of vegetation on the ridge, containing species typically found north of this region alongside species typically found to the south or restricted to the Coastal Plain. The results is an area where many regionally rare plants are found at or near the limits of their ranges. Other rare species found in the area are those adapted to the harsh conditions on the ridge. Upland communities include [[chestnut oak]] and mixed-oak forest, [[pine barren]]s including dwarf pine ridges, [[Tsuga|hemlock]]-northern hardwood forest, and cliff and talus slope and cave communities. Wetlands include small lakes and streams, [[bog]]s, [[pitch pine]]-[[blueberry]] [[peat]] swamps, an inland [[Chamaecyparis thyoides|Atlantic white cypress]] swamp, [[red maple]] swamps, acidic seeps, calcareous seeps, and a few emergent marshes.<ref>"Significant Habitats and Habitat Complexes of the New York Bight Watershed", US Fish & Wildlife Service</ref>

==Geology==

[[Image:AwastingFalls Minnewaska State Park NY.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Awosting Falls in [[Minnewaska State Park Preserve]]. The cliff is made of layers of conglomerate.<ref>Shattuck, G.B. (1907) [https://archive.org/details/somegeologicalr00shatgoog ''Some Geological Rambles Near Vassar College''], Poughkeepsie, The Vassar College Press. page 10. Retrieved 2014-01-31.</ref>]]
[[Image:CastlePoint Shawangunks NY.jpg|225px|thumb|right|Castle Point in the Shawangunks]]

The ridge is primarily [[Shawangunk Formation|Shawangunk Conglomerate]], a hard, [[silicon dioxide|silica]]-[[Cementation (geology)|cemented]] [[sedimentary rock|conglomerate]] of white [[quartz]] [[pebble]]s and [[sandstone]] that directly overlies the Martinsburg Shale, a thick [[turbidite]] sequence of dark gray [[shale]] and [[greywacke]] sandstone. The Martinsburg Shale was deposited in a deep ocean during the Ordovician (470 million years ago). The Shawangunk Conglomerate was deposited over the Martinsburg Shale in thick [[braided river]]s during the Silurian (about 420 million years ago); both sequences of sedimentary rock were subsequently deformed and uplifted during the Permian (about 270 million years ago). As a result of this deformation, strata within the ridge are involved in a northward plunging series of asymmetric folds (e.g., [[anticline]]s and [[syncline]]s) that dip gently towards the west. These same folds, involving strata that overlie the Shawangunk Conglomerate, are exposed north of Shawangunk Ridge in the [[Rosendale, New York|Rosendale]] natural cement region, where they can be directly examined in abandoned cement mines. Strata along the eastern margin of Shawangunk Ridge are truncated by erosion, resulting in the prominent cliffs characteristic of Shawangunk Ridge. The Shawangunk Conglomerate is very hard and resistant to weathering; whereas the underlying shale erodes relatively easily. Thus, the quartz conglomerate forms cliffs and [[Scree|talus]] slopes, particularly along the eastern margin of the ridge.

The entire ridge was glaciated during the last (Wisconsin) [[glaciation]], which scoured the ridges, left pockets of [[till]], and dumped talus (blocks of rock) off the east side of the ridge. On top of the ridge, the soils are generally thin, highly acidic, low in nutrients, and droughty, but in depressions and other areas where water is trapped by the bedrock or till, there are interspersed lakes and [[wetland]] areas. Soils on top of shale are thicker, less acidic, and more fertile. Topography on the top of the northern Shawangunks is irregular due to a series of faults that form secondary plateaus and escarpments.

==Ice caves==
[[Ice caves]] are deep fissures in the conglomerate bedrock that retain ice through much of the summer, resulting in a cool microenvironment that supports several northern species such as [[black spruce]], hemlock, [[rowan]], and [[Gaultheria hispidula|creeping snowberry]] (Gaultheria hispidula), and [[bryophytes]] such as Isopterygium distichaceum. These ice caves are concentrated near [[Sam's Point]] in the northern Shawangunks. Larger limestone caverns occur along the lower slopes of the Rondout and Delaware River valleys.<ref>Waterman, Laura and [[Guy Waterman|Guy]] (1993) ''Yankee Rock and Ice''</ref>

Lakes and wetlands occur mostly on the flat-topped ridges at the northern and southern ends of the area and, to a lesser extent, along the western side of the middle part of the ridge. Lakes and ponds occurring on conglomerate tend to be clear, nutrient-poor, and very acidic, due to limited buffering capacity of the bedrock. The northern Shawangunks have five lakes, the "sky lakes," which are, from north to south: Mohonk Lake, Lake Minnewaska, Lake Awosting, Mud Pond, and Lake Maratanza. The pH in four of the lakes averages about 4 (very acidic); Lake Mohonk, which partially overlays shale bedrock and is therefore partially buffered, is closer to neutral pH (7.0).

==Public lands and preserves==

The Shawangunks contain mainly public lands as well as several small residential areas. Most of the northern Ridge is protected by [[Minnewaska State Park Preserve]], and [[Sam's Point Preserve]] with more than {{convert|100|mi|km}} of hiking trails and several climbing areas. In 2007 Shawangunk Ridge State Forest and Witches Hole State Forest were added. The [[Long Path]] long-distance hiking trail follows the ridge from Sullivan County to the vicinity of [[Kerhonkson, New York|Kerhonkson]]; south of it the Shawangunk Ridge Trail connects to the [[Appalachian Trail]] near [[High Point (New Jersey)|High Point]]. There are several old carriage trails on the Ridge including; Smiley Road from [[Ellenville]] into Minnewaska State Park Preserve; and Old Plank Road and Old Mountain Road in Shawangunk Ridge State Forest. Many of the foot trails are updated and maintained by the [[New York-New Jersey Trail Conference]].

There are also many waterfalls in the Shawangunk region, such as: [[VerKeerderkill Falls]], [[Awosting Falls]], Buttermilk Falls and VerNooykill Falls.

In 2004, a luxury development plan for buildings has threatened the ridge line, and as a result a grassroots "Save the Ridge" campaign has become extremely popular in the area. In 2006 a court ordered the sale of property by the private owner to settle a case brought on by the developer. The [[Open Space Institute]] of NY purchased the land and has signed it over to Minnewaska State Park Preserve.

The Trust for Public Land and Open Space Institute actually agreed to purchase the land for $17 million. At closing, however, the contract was assigned and title was taken in the name of the [[Palisades Interstate Park Commission]], a federally chartered commission, although the funds for the purchase apparently came from the New York state Environmental Protection Fund.

Unlike the major public land holdings on the Shawangunk Ridge, the [[Mohonk Preserve]] is a private land trust<ref>{{Cite web|title = Mohonk Preserve 50th Anniversary {{!}} Mohonk Preserve|url = http://www.mohonkpreserve.org/mohonk-preserve-50th-anniversary|website = www.mohonkpreserve.org|access-date = 2016-01-20}}</ref> which depending on type of use may require a day fee.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Hours and Fees {{!}} Mohonk Preserve|url = http://www.mohonkpreserve.org/hours-and-fees|website = www.mohonkpreserve.org|access-date = 2016-01-20}}</ref>

===Unit Management Plan===

In May 2007 the state Department of Environmental Conservation initiated the development of its Shawangunk Ridge Unit Management Plan to include ''Shawangunk Multiple Use Area'', ''Witch's Hole State Forest'', ''Shawangunk Ridge State Forest'', ''Roosa Gap State Forest'', ''Wurtsboro Ridge State Forest'', ''Huckleberry Ridge State Forest'', and three detached ''Forest Preserve'' parcels.

The goal of the project was to develop "management objectives" for the properties, including those concerning permissible forms of public recreation and access.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.dec.ny.gov/press/33813.html |title=DEC to Initiate Draft Shawangunk Ridge Unit Management Plan |publisher=New York State Department of Environmental Conservation |date=2007-05-11}}</ref>

Following an announcement of the project's launch, no further statements had been issued by the DEC regarding its work as of June 2009.

==Recreation==

Hiking: The Shawangunk Ridge Trail heads north approximately 40 miles, to Sam's Point Preserve in New York from the Appalachian Trail at High Point State Park in New Jersey. It generally follows the spectacular Shawangunk Ridge north, occasionally using abandoned roads and rail beds.
[[Rock climbing]] in the Shawangunks has historically been centered around four major cliffs: ''Millbrook'', the ''Near Trapps'', ''The Trapps'', and ''Skytop''. Of these four, ''The Trapps'', is the longest, the most popular and most accessible, with the largest number of [[climbing route]]s.<ref>{{Citation |first= Dick |last=Williams |author-link = Richard_Williams_(rock_climber) |title = The Climber's Guide to the Shawangunks - The Trapps

[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|right|[[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech was one of the 50 recordings added on the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.]]
The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]]. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of [[recording]]s selected yearly by the [[National Recording Preservation Board]] for preservation in the [[Library of Congress]].<ref name="CR">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref>

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 425 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2014|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

==2002==
On January 27, 2003, the following 50 selections were announced by the National Recording Preservation Board.<ref name="NRR2">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/registry/nrpb-2002reg.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= The National Recording Registry 2002 |date=December 6, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens).

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens).

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using [[Stationery|school supplies]] to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class fancy them.<ref name=mail/>
Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==Reactions==

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using [[Stationery|school supplies]] to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class fancy them.<ref name=mail/>
Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using [[Stationery|school supplies]] to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class fancy them.<ref name=mail/>
Originally described on the internet in 2008,<ref name=emery1/> the game was popularized in the [[English-speaking world]] in 2015, partly through the [[hashtag]] #CharlieCharlieChallenge.<ref name=griffin1/><ref name=time>{{cite web|last1=Zuckerman|first1=Esther|title=Here’s Why People Are Freaking Out Over the Charlie Charlie Challenge|url=http://time.com/3897606/charlie-charlie-challenge/|work=Time|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref> On 29 April 2015, an alarmist [[tabloid television]] newscast about the game being played in [[Hato Mayor Province]] of the [[Dominican Republic]] was uploaded to YouTube, and the unintentional humor in the report led to the game trending on Twitter, crossing the [[language barrier]] to be played around the world.<ref name=post>{{cite news|last1=Dewey|first1=Caitlin|title=The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the 'demonic' teen game overtaking the Internet|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/the-complete-true-story-of-charlie-charlie-the-demonic-teen-game-overtaking-the-internet/|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Washington Post|date=26 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nnsHkvkRM|title=Juego supuestamente satánico denominado Charlie – Charlie es practicado en Hato Mayor|work=Telenoticias 11/Youtube}}</ref>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?" or "are you here?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

==Reactions==
In Spain, teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in school playgrounds and sleepovers, asking which boys in their class fancied them.<ref name=mail>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3116725/Children-hospitalised-mass-hysteria-mysterious-bruises-Mexican-demon-video-Dominican-Republic-spawned-satanic-Charlie-Charlie-game-sending-teenagers-panic-world.html|title=How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world|date=10 June 2015|work=Daily Mail}}</ref> In Colombia, four teenage girls were sent to a hospital in [[Tunja]] and quickly released with a diagnosis of [[mass hysteria]].<ref>http://colombiareports.com/charlie-charlie-challenge-sends-4-hysteric-teens-to-hospital-in-central-colombia/</ref>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> Christopher French, head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as a "a [[Vine (service)|Vine]]-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A. Hill|Sharon Hill]] argues that teenagers playing the game "overreact because of the peer situation."<ref name=sharonhill/>

Various media outlets described participants in the games as gullible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/charlie-charlie-challenge-heres-everything-5760769|quote=Brave (or gullible) participants must then repeat the words "Charlie, Charlie are you here" to summon a visit from a demon.|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge: Here's everything you need to know about the bizarre internet craze|work=Mirror.ko.uk}}</ref><ref name=inquisitr>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/2117579/tweeting-christians-on-the-charlie-charlie-challenge-please-step-away-from-the-demon/|quote=In this one, two pencils are crossed over four squares.

Fred Clark and [[Rebecca Watson]] liken the phenomenon of pencils moving on a desk to [[James Hydrick]]'s debunked claim that he could move a pencil on a desk by [[psychokinesis]].<ref name=slacktivist>{{cite web|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/05/29/the-charliecharliechallenge-doesnt-lead-to-demonic-possession-but-it-can-nurture-credulity-and-willful-ignorance-which-is-worse/|title=The ‘CharlieCharlieChallenge’ doesn’t lead to demonic possession — but it can nurture credulity and willful ignorance, which is worse|author=Fred Clark|date=29 May 2015|work=Patheos.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://skepchick.org/2015/05/charlie-charlie-the-science-of-summoning-demons-with-pencils-for-fun-and-profit/|title=Charlie Charlie: The Science of Summoning Demons with Pencils for Fun and Profit|work=Skepchick|author=[[Rebecca Watson]]|date=30 May 2015}}</ref>

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations.

[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|right|[[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech was one of the 50 recordings added on the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.]]
The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]].

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 425 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2014|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

[[File:Charlie Charlie Challenge.jpg|thumb|Basic set up for the two pencil game, with the top pencil so precariously balanced that it will move with minor wind gusts]]
The '''"Charlie Charlie" game''' is a modern incarnation of a Spanish [[paper-and-pencil game]] called ''Juego de la Lapicera'' (game of the pens). Like a [[Magic 8-Ball]], the game is played by teenagers using [[Stationery|school supplies]] to produce answers to questions they ask. Teenage girls have played ''Juego de la Lapicera'' for generations in Spain and [[Hispanic America]], asking which boys in their class fancy them.<ref name=mail/>

==Game==
===Four pencils===

In an early version of the game, two players each hold two pencils in the shape of a square, pressing the ends of their pencils against the other player's.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096964/Children-sharing-social-media-videos-try-summon-Mexican-demon-new-Charlie-Charlie-Challenge.html|quote=There is also a two-person version of the game that uses six pencils.|title=Creepy 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' spreads across Twitter as children urge each other to 'summon Mexican demon'|work=Daily Mail|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> Like a [[Ouija]] board, it uses the [[ideomotor phenomenon]], with players moving the pencils without conscious control.<ref name=vox>{{cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8735481/charlie-charlie-challenge-explanation|title="Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"

===Two pencils===
The two pencil game involves crossing two pens or pencils to create a grid (with sectors labelled "yes" and "no") and then asking questions of a "supernatural entity" named "Charlie". The upper pencil is then expected to rotate to indicate the answer to such questions. The first question everyone asks by speaking into the pencils is "can we play?"<ref name=telegraph>{{cite news|title=Charlie Charlie Challenge – what is the spooky craze, and what is the explanation for it?|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11628862/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge-what-is-it-what-is-the-explanation.html|accessdate=28 May 2015|work=The Telegraph|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

The top pencil is precariously balanced on a central pivot point, meaning that it can easily rotate on the pivot due to slight wind gusts, or the breathing of players expecting the pencil to move.<ref name=scishow>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuhFlSGunM|title=The Truth About the Charlie Charlie Challenge|work=[[SciShow]]}}</ref><ref name=mail/><ref name=griffin1/>

According to Caitlyn Dewey of ''The Washington Post,'' this game is valuable as an example of cross-cultural viral trends: <blockquote>Charlie makes a killer case study in virality and how things move in and out of languages and cultures online. You'll notice, for instance, a lot of players and reporters talking about the game as if it were new, when it's actually—and more interestingly, I think—an old game that has just recently crossed the language divide.<ref name="post"/></blockquote> Maria Elena Navez of [[BBC Mundo]] said "There's no demon called 'Charlie' in Mexico," and suggested that Mexican demons with English names (rather than, say, "Carlitos") are "usually American inventions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-32887325|title=Where did Charlie Charlie Challenge come from?|publisher=BBC|date=26 May 2015}}</ref> [[Urban legend]] expert David Emery says that some versions of the game have copied the ghost story [[La Llorona]], popular in [[Hispanic America]], but the pencil game is not a Mexican tradition.<ref name=emery1>{{cite web|url=http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/fl/Charlie-Charlie-Challenge_2.htm|title=What's the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and Why Does It Freak People Out?|work=About.com Entertainment/Urban Legends|author=David Emery|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> Joseph Laycock, a professor of religious studies at Texas State University argued that while Charlie is "most often described as a “Mexican ghost,” it appears that Christian critics reframed the game as Satanic almost immediately" due to their desire to "claim a monopoly on wholesome encounters with the supernatural."<ref name=rdlaycock>{{cite web|url=http://religiondispatches.org/the-charlie-charlie-challenge-and-teenage-yearning-for-supernatural-encounters/|title=The ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ and Teenage Yearning for Supernatural Encounters|work=Religion Dispatches|date=15 June 2015|author=Joseph Laycock}}</ref>

Psychological [[suggestion]] can lead people to expect a particular response, which can result in thoughts and behaviors that will help bring the anticipated outcome to fruition – for instance by breathing more heavily.<ref name=livescience/> Christopher French, head of the [[anomalistic psychology]] research unit at the [[University of London]] says that human [[agent detection]] leads people to see patterns in random events and perceive an intelligence behind them. He argues that divination games involve [[magical thinking]], saying "Often the 'answers' received [in divination games] might be vague and ambiguous, but our inherent ability to find meaning—even when it isn't there—ensures that we will perceive significance in those responses and be convinced that an intelligence of some kind lay behind them."<ref name=livescience/> Kate Knibbs, writing in [[Gizmodo]] described the game as a "a Vine-ready pastiche of kitsch occultism" that "has the familiar pull of [[pareidolia]]" where people interpret patterns as having a meaning.<ref name=gizmodo>{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.com/2015/05/a-mexican-demon-named-charlie-is-the-internets-newest-urban-legend/|title=A Mexican Demon Named Charlie Is The Internet's Newest Urban Legend|work=Gizmodo|author=Kate Knibbs|date=28 May 2015}}</ref>

Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at [[Connecticut College]] argues that teenagers often go to see [[Paranormal fiction|paranormal movies]] in groups, and "There's a real social bonding aspect to this whole phenomenon,"<ref name=vox/> and "It's almost a developmental passage for some kids, to deal with things that are scary." Donald Saucier, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] argues that teenagers go though "a period where social influence is very strong" and they are more prone to superstition. Stephen Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at [[Harvard Medical School]] said "I think kids are interested in the dares that aren't actually all that dangerous, but have that feeling of danger to them."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fusion.net/story/139957/charlie-charlie-science-behind-why-teens-brains-love-creepy-supernatural-games/|title=Why teen brains are wired to love 'Charlie Charlie' and the supernatural|publisher=fusion.net}}</ref> [[Sharon A.

Andrew Griffin wrote in ''[[The Independent]]'' that the game is "perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn't have the same explanations.

==Plot==
In [[Harlem]], 10-year-old [[Little Orphan Annie|Annie Bennett]] lives in foster care with several other girls in the care of the cruel Colleen Hannigan. She spends each Friday waiting outside the restaurant where she believes her parents will return to collect her. She is rescued from being run down by a truck by Will Stacks, a cell phone mogul running for mayor. Stacks is a [[mysophobia|germaphobe]] who doesn't connect to commoners well, and is losing badly. The rescue goes viral on the internet and Stack's numbers spike. Stacks' campaign manager Guy Danlily suggests that he invite Annie to live with him as means to further boost his poll numbers. Stacks reluctantly agrees, but over time, develops true affection for Annie and his assistant Grace Farrell, and plans to adopt her. After a disastrous public appearance, Guy Danlily (with the help of Miss Hannigan) arranges to have Annie claimed by impostors pretending to be her parents. But as they enact their plan, Guy betrays Miss Hannigan, who starts having second thoughts. Around the same time, Annie soon learns that the impostors are not her parents, and she is being kidnapped. Hannigan confesses Guy's scheme to Stacks, who then fires Guy. After a chase across Manhattan, Annie is rescued and Stacks quits the election to prove that he does care for Annie, reuniting them both.

==Musical numbers==
{{Main|Annie (2014 film soundtrack)}}
While the film incorporates notable songs from the original Broadway production, written by composer [[Charles Strouse]] and lyricist [[Martin Charnin]], the songs themselves were rearranged by [[Sia (musician)|Sia]] and [[Greg Kurstin]] to reflect its new contemporary setting. Executive music supervisor Matt Sullivan explained that there was a desire to make the film's use of music "seamless" rather than "abrupt", and to maintain the integrity and familiarity of the musical's most iconic songs, including "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard Knock Life". The songs were rearranged with a percussive, [[pop music|pop]]-inspired style: in particular, "It's the Hard Knock Life"—whilst maintaining the use of "natural" sounds for its rhythm, was updated in a [[hip hop]] style. Lyrics to some songs were also updated to reflect the differences in the film's storyline and settings.<ref name=billboard-ruinchildhood /> Sia and Kurstin wrote three new songs for the soundtrack, including "Opportunity", "Who Am I", and "Moonquake Lake". Sia additionally co-wrote "The City's Yours" with [[Stargate (production team)|Stargate]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Rigby|first1=Sam|title=Sia and Beck Join Stars on Annie Movie Soundtrack|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a605383/sia-and-beck-join-stars-on-annie-movie-soundtrack.html#~oUASLyfKso2baF|work=Digital Spy|accessdate=November 3, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Via RocNation|title=ANNIE Soundtrack Press Release|url=http://nukethefridge.com/2014/10/22/annie-soundtrack-press-release/|publisher=Nuke The Fridge|accessdate=November 3, 2014}}</ref>

By February 2013, ''[[Beasts of the Southern Wild]]'' star and [[Academy Award|Oscar]] nominee [[Quvenzhané Wallis]] had replaced Smith in the lead role,<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.upcoming-movies.com/new/quvenzhane-wallis-to-star-in-will-gluck-s-annie/ |title=Quvenzhane Wallis to Star in Will Gluck's ANNIE |publisher=Upcoming-Movies.com |date=February 24, 2013 |accessdate=September 16, 2013}}</ref> and the film had scheduled a Christmas 2014 release.<ref>{{cite web |last=Barrett |first=Annie |url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/02/27/quvenzhane-wallis-annie-christmas-2014-release-date |title=''Annie'' gets Christmas 2014 release date |work=Entertainment Weekly |date=February 27, 2013 |accessdate=September 16, 2013}}</ref>

==Changes from prior adaptations==
{{refimprove section|date=December 2014}}
{{Expand list|date=December 2014}}
While "rooted in the same story" according to Gluck, the 2014 film adaptation is a contemporary take on the 1977 Broadway musical and contains some differences from the original:<ref name=billboard-ruinchildhood>{{cite web|title='Annie' Director Will Gluck Worried He'd 'Ruin a Lot of Kids' Childhoods'|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/bbthr-conference/6311908/annie-director-will-gluck-interview|website=Billboard|accessdate=December 28, 2014}}</ref> The setting was changed from the 1930s—the era of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s presidency and the [[Great Depression]], to present-day New York City. The opening school scene features class presentations by both the new Annie, and a student representing her classic appearance, discussing aspects of and parallels between the economic states of the two settings, such as the [[New Deal]] and the modern [[American lower class|lower class]].<ref name=variety-anniereview>{{cite web|title=Film Review: ‘Annie’|url=http://variety.com/2014/film/reviews/film-review-annie-1201377921/|website=Variety|accessdate=December 28, 2014}}</ref>

The character of Oliver Warbucks was modified to create William Stacks, an entrepreneur in the technology sector (particularly, the mobile phone industry) turned politician, who is trying to run for [[Mayor of New York City]]. Annie also no longer lives in an [[orphanage]], but is kept in [[foster care]].<ref name=billboard-ruinchildhood/><ref name=ew-review /><ref name=chicagotrib-review /> Miss Hannigan's first name is changed to Colleen, instead of her previous film name Agatha. While Hannigan is complicit in deceiving Stacks and Annie that Annie's birth parents have been found (conspiring with Sparks' campaign mananger Guy Danlily), they are not impersonated by Hannigan's brother Rooster and his Girlfriend Lily as in the original version. Instead, Guy has 'people he uses for this kind of work' take Annie. Hannigan's character is also softened from her prior appearances, to the point of experiencing guilt over her part in separating Stacks and Annie, and even helping to rescue Annie from her false parents in the film's finale. Annie's dog Sandy is a female in this film, as opposed to past adaptations where the dog is a male.

==Release==
The film officially [[premiere]]d at the [[Ziegfeld Theater]] in [[New York City]] on December 7, 2014.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://variety.com/2014/scene/news/annie-stars-speak-out-at-premiere-about-sony-hack-attack-1201373392/ | title = ‘Annie’ Stars Speak Out at Premiere About Sony Hack Attack| date = December 7, 2014 | accessdate = December 31, 2014 | work = [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] }}</ref>

===Piracy===
On November 27, 2014, ''Annie'' was one of several films leaked by the "Guardians of Peace", a group that the [[FBI]] believes has ties to [[North Korea]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/update-on-sony-investigation | title = FBI — Update on Sony Investigation| date = December 19, 2014 | accessdate = December 22, 2014 | publisher = [[FBI]] }}</ref> following its [[Sony Pictures Entertainment hack|breach]] of Columbia's parent company Sony Pictures Entertainment. Within three days of the initial leak, ''Annie'' had been downloaded by an estimated 206,000 unique IPs.<ref name="hack">{{cite web | url=http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/new-sony-films-pirated-in-wake-of-hack-attack-1201367036/ | title=Sony’s New Movies Leak Online Following Hack Attack | work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=November 29, 2014 | accessdate=December 2, 2014}}</ref> By December 9, the count had risen to over 316,000. The chief analyst at ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|BoxOffice.com]]'' felt that despite this, the leak was unlikely to affect ''Annie''{{'}}s box office performance as the demographic who pirates movies isn't the target audience for the film.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://variety.com/2014/film/news/is-pre-release-piracy-a-threat-to-annies-box-office-1201374523/ | title=Is Pre-Release Piracy a Threat to 'Annie's' Box Office? | work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=December 9, 2014 | accessdate=December 13, 2014}}</ref>

===Box office===
''Annie'' opened on December 19, 2014, and earned $5,289,149 on its opening day. In the first weekend, the film made $15,861,939, ranking third in the domestic box office behind other new releases ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]'' and ''[[Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2014&wknd=51&p=.htm | title=Weekend Box Office Results for December 19-21, 2014 | work=[[Box Office Mojo]] | publisher=[[Internet Movie Database]] | date=December 22, 2014 | accessdate=December 28, 2014}}</ref> The film grossed $85.9 million in North America and $48.7 million overseas for a worldwide total of $134.6 million.<ref name="intmojo">{{cite web | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=annie2014.htm | title=Annie (2014) (2014) - International Box Office Results | work=Box Office Mojo | publisher=Internet Movie Database | accessdate=March 10, 2015}}</ref>

===Critical reception===
''Annie'' has received negative reviews among critics. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], a [[review aggregator]], the film has a 28% approval rating based on 136 reviews; the average score is 4.4/10. The site's consensus reads, "The new-look ''Annie'' hints at a progressive take on a well-worn story, but smothers its likable cast under clichés, cloying cuteness, and a distasteful materialism."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/annie_2012/|title=Annie|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Flixster]]|accessdate=December 31, 2014}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a score of 33 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/annie-2014 | title=Annie Reviews |publisher=[[Metacritic]] | accessdate=December 24, 2014}}</ref> Audiences rated the film an 'A-' on [[CinemaScore]].<ref>http://www.cinemascore.com/</ref>

''[[PopMatters]]'' magazine rated ''Annie'' 3 out of 10, saying, "In its aggravatingly choreographed frenzy, the party scene epitomizes ''Annie'': it's trying too hard both to be and not be the previous Annies, it's trying too little to be innovative or vaguely inspired. It's as crass as Miss Hannigan and as greedy as Stacks, at least until they learn their lessons. The movie doesn't appear to learn a thing."<ref>{{cite web|work=[[PopMatters]]|title=A (Somewhat) Class-Conscious 'Annie'|first=Cynthia|last=Fuchs|date=December 22, 2014|url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/189381-annie-quvenzhane-wallis-sings-and-dances/}}</ref> [[Michael Phillips (critic)|Michael Phillips]] of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' gave ''Annie'' one-and-a-half stars, describing the adaptation as being "wobbly" and "unsatisfying", criticizing the commercialized nature of the plot changes, concluding that it was "finesse-free and perilously low on the simple performance pleasures we look for in any musical, of any period".<ref name=chicagotrib-review>{{cite news|last1=Phillips|first1=Michael|title=Review: 'Annie'|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/movies/ct-1216-annie-20141218-column.html|accessdate=December 27, 2014|work=Chicago Tribune}}</ref> Ben Sachs of the ''[[Chicago Reader]]'' gave the film three out of four stars, praising the "surprising amount of bite: the filmmakers openly acknowledge the similarities between the [[Great Depression]] and the present, and the populist message, however overstated, always registers as sincere." Sachs also praised director Will Gluck for "striking a buoyant tone that feels closer to classic Hollywood musicals than contemporary kiddie fare."<ref name=Annie-ChicagoReader>{{cite news|last1=Sachs|first1=Ben|title=Annie|url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/annie/Film?oid=15709234|accessdate=December 18, 2014|work=Chicago Tribune}}</ref>

The soundtrack, rearranged by Sia and Greg Kurstin, received a polarizing response from critics, with much criticism going towards the heavy use of [[auto-tune]]. ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' described its soundtrack as an auto-tuned "disaster", noting that "you won't ever hear a worse rendition of 'Easy Street' than the one performed by Diaz and Cannivale — I promise".<ref name=ew-review>{{cite web|title=Annie Review|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20883399,00.html|website=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=December 27, 2014}}</ref> David Rooney of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' says "all but a handful of the existing songs have been shredded, often retaining just a signature line or two and drowning it in desperately hip polyrhythmic sounds, aurally assaultive arrangements and inane new lyrics."<ref name="Rooney">{{cite web|work=TheHollywoodReporter|title=Annie Review|first=David|last=Rooney|date=December 14, 2014|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/annie/review/757491}}</ref> [[Matt Zoller Seitz]] however, praised the soundtracks' new songs.<ref name="Seitz">{{cite web|work=[[RogerEbert.com]]|title=Annie Movie Review|first=Matt|last=Seitz|date=December 19, 2014|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/annie-2014}}</ref>

The performances, however, were more positively received by some film critics. ''[[IGN.com]]'' praised Wallis and Foxx for being "on-point" throughout much of the film, as well as Rose Byrne, calling her the "surprise" of the film.<ref name=ign-anniereview>{{cite web|title=Annie Review: Yolomorrow.|url=http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/12/20/annie-review|website=IGN.com|accessdate=December 27, 2014}}</ref> Matt Zoller Seitz called Wallis "the first Annie to bring something both culturally and personally new to this role", and praised the rest of the cast too, including Foxx and Byrne.<ref name="Seitz"/> However, Cameron Diaz's performance was widely panned, with critics calling it "vampy",<ref name="Seitz"/> as well as "strident and obnoxious".<ref name="Rooney"/> [[Peter Travers]] of [[Rolling Stone (magazine)|''Rolling Stone'']] says that she "overacts the role to the point of hysteria".<ref name='Annie'MovieReview>{{cite web|title='Annie' MovieReview|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/annie-20141217|accessdate=December 17, 2014}}</ref>

The '''Grammy Award for Best New Classical Artist''' was an honor presented to classical artists at the [[28th Grammy Awards]] in 1986. The [[Grammy Award]]s, an annual ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,<ref name=Grammy>{{cite news|url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammy_awards_info,0,5279018.htmlstory?track=center|title=Grammy Awards at a Glance|work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |accessdate=January 12, 2011}}</ref> are presented by the [[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".<ref name=Overview>{{cite web|url=http://www.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/|title=Overview|accessdate=January 12, 2011|publisher=[[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]]}}</ref>

The equivalent award known as '''Most Promising New Classical Recording Artist''' was first presented to [[André Watts]] at the [[6th Grammy Awards]] in 1964. The honor was presented for additional years until being discontinued before the 1967 ceremony. The award category re-emerged in 1986 with the name Best New Classical Artist and was presented to [[Chicago Pro Musica]]. As of 2011, the award has not been presented since 1986.

[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|right|[[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech was one of the 50 recordings added on the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.]]
The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]]. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of [[recording]]s selected yearly by the [[National Recording Preservation Board]] for preservation in the [[Library of Congress]].<ref name="CR">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref>

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 400 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2013|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>
* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

The most recent is the song "[[Dear Mama]]" by [[Tupac Shakur|2Pac]] which came out in 1995 on his album ''[[Me Against the World]]''.<ref name="NRPB2">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-masterlist.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Full Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=December 16, 2009}}</ref>

Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media

2015-02-12T02:14:37Z

Loriendrew: clean up using AWB

The [[Grammy Award]] for '''Best Song Written for Visual Media''' has been awarded since 1988 and is awarded to songs written for films, television, video games or other visual media. Through the years, it has gone through several name changes:
* 1988–1999: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television
* 2000–2011: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media
* 2012–present: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media

The award goes to the composer(s) of the winning song, not to the performing artist(s) (except if the artist is also the composer).

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.

'''''Vathek''''' (alternatively titled '''''Vathek, an Arabian Tale''''' or '''''The History of the Caliph Vathek''''') is a [[Gothic novel]] written by [[William Thomas Beckford|William Beckford]]. It was composed in French beginning in 1782, and then translated into English by Reverend [[Samuel Henley]]<ref>[http://www.history.org/Almanack/people/bios/biohenly.cfm ]</ref> in which form it was first published in 1786 without Beckford's name as ''An Arabian Tale, From an Unpublished Manuscript'', claiming to be translated directly from Arabic. The first French edition, titled simply as ''Vathek'', was published in December 1786 (postdated 1787).<ref>{{cite book | last=Tuck | first=Donald H. | authorlink=Donald H.

==Plot introduction==
''Vathek'' capitalised on the 18th (and early 19th) century obsession with all things [[Orient]]al (see [[Orientalism]]), which was inspired by [[Antoine Galland]]'s translation of ''[[The Book of One Thousand and One Nights|The Arabian Nights]]'' (itself re-translated, into English, in 1708). Beckford was also influenced by similar works from the French writer [[Voltaire]]. His originality lay in combining the popular Oriental elements with the Gothic stylings of [[Horace Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford|Horace Walpole]]'s ''[[The Castle of Otranto]]'' (1764). The result stands alongside Walpole's novel and [[Mary Shelley]]'s ''[[Frankenstein]]'' (1818) in the first rank of early Gothic fiction.

==Description==
William Beckford wrote ''Vathek'' in French in 1782, when he was 21. He often stated that Vathek was written as an emotional response to "the events that happened at [[Fonthill Gifford|Fonthill]] at Christmas 1781," and that it took him two days and a night, or three days and two nights (as he gives two accounts of how long it took him).

''Vathek'' was written during a time when part of European culture was influenced by [[Orientalism]]. It is an [[Arabian tale]] because of the oriental setting and characters and the depiction of oriental cultures, societies, and myth. ''Vathek'' is also a [[Gothic novel]] with its emphasis on the supernatural, ghosts, and spirits, as well as the terror it tries to induce in the reader.

The title character is inspired by [[Al-Wathiq]] ibn Mutasim ([[Arabic language|Arabic]] الواثق), an [[Abbasid]] [[caliph]] who reigned in 842–847 (227–232 AH in the [[Islamic calendar]]) who had a great thirst for knowledge and became a great patron to scholars and artists. During his reign, a number of revolts broke out. He took an active role in quelling them. He died of fever on 10 August 847.

The narrative of ''Vathek'' uses a [[Point of view (literature)|third person, omniscient, semi-intrusive narrator]]. While the narrator is not omniscient in the sense of knowing what the characters feel (he hardly talks about the feelings of the characters), he is omniscient in the sense that he knows what is happening everywhere; and while it may not be intrusive to the point of telling the reader how to feel, it is certainly intrusive in the way it takes the reader from place to place, the most obvious instance being on page 87<ref>
Vathek by William Beckford. Stroud, Nonsuch Press Edition, 2005. ISBN 1-84588-060-9</ref> when, after a narrative focusing around Gulchenrouz, the narrator tells us, "But let us return to the Caliph, and her who ruled over his heart". The narrative is often made up of lists that chronicle the events one after the other, without emphasis on character development. Characters and events are introduced forcefully at times. One such example is the introduction of Vathek's brother and successor Motavakel, based on [[Al-Mutawakkil]] ʻAlā Allāh Jaʻfar ibn al-Muʻtasim ([[Arabic language|Arabic]] المتوكل على الله جعفر بن المعتصم') (March 821 – December 861), who reigned in [[Samarra]] from 847 until 861. Up to the point when he is introduced in the novel as the leader of a rebel army, the reader is not even aware of Vathek's having a brother. The reader is also never exposed to Motavakel's character, except as Carathis mentions him. The novel, while it may lend itself to be divided into chapters, is one complete manuscript without pause.

==Plot summary==
The novel chronicles the fall from power of the [[Caliph]] Vathek (a fictionalised version of the historical [[Al-Wathiq]]), who renounces [[Islam]] and engages with his mother, Carathis, in a series of licentious and deplorable activities designed to gain him [[supernatural]] powers. At the end of the novel, instead of attaining these powers, Vathek descends into a [[hell]] ruled by the demon [[Eblis]] where he is doomed to wander endlessly and speechlessly.

Vathek, the ninth Caliph of the Abassides, ascended to the throne at an early age. He is a majestic figure, terrible in anger (one glance of his flashing eye can make "the wretch on whom it was fixed instantly [fall] backwards and sometimes [expire]"), and addicted to the pleasures of the flesh. He is intensely thirsty for knowledge and often invites scholars to converse with him. If he fails to convince the scholar of his points of view, he attempts a bribe; if this does not work, he sends the scholar to prison. To better study astronomy, he builds an observation tower with 11,000 steps.

A hideous stranger arrives in town, claiming to be a merchant from India selling precious goods. Vathek buys glowing swords with letters on them from the merchant, and invites the merchant to dinner. When the merchant does not respond to Vathek's questions, Vathek looks at him with his "evil eye," but this has no effect, so Vathek imprisons him. The next day, he discovers that the merchant has escaped and his prison guards are dead. The people begin to call Vathek crazy. His mother, Carathis, tells him that the merchant was "the one talked about in the prophecy", and Vathek admits that he should have treated the stranger kindly.

Vathek wants to decipher the messages on his new sabres, offers a reward to anyone who can help him, and punishes those who fail. After several scholars fail, one elderly man succeeds: the swords say "We were made where everything is well made; we are the least of the wonders of a place where all is wonderful and deserving, the sight of the first potentate on earth." But the next morning, the message has changed: the sword now says "Woe to the rash mortal who seeks to know that of which he should remain ignorant, and to undertake that which surpasses his power". The old man flees before Vathek can punish him. However, Vathek realises that the writing on the swords really did change.

Vathek then develops an insatiable thirst and often goes to a place near a high mountain to drink from one of four fountains there, kneeling at the edge of the fountain to drink. One day he hears a voice telling him to "not assimilate thyself to a dog". It was the voice of the merchant who had sold him the swords, a mysterious man whom Vathek calls 'Giaour,' a offensive term used primarily in Turkey to describe those of a non-Muslim faith. The Giaour cures his thirst with a potion and the two men return to Samarah. Vathek returns to immersing himself in the pleasures of the flesh, and begins to fear that The Giaour, who is now popular at Court, will seduce one of his wives. Vathek makes a fool of himself trying to out-drink The Giaour, and to out-eat him, when he sits upon the throne to administer justice, he does so haphazardly. His prime vizier rescues him from disgrace by whispering that Carathis had read a message in the stars foretelling a great evil to befall Vathek and his vizir Morakanabad; the vizier informs Vathek that Carathis advises him to ask The Giaour about the drugs he used in the potion, lest that be a poison. When Vathek confronts him, The Giaour only laughs, so Vathek gets angry and kicks him. The Giaour is transformed into a ball and Vathek compels everyone in the palace to kick it, even the resistant Carathis and Morakanabad. Then Vathek has the whole town kick the ball-shaped merchant into a remote valley. Vathek stays in the area and eventually hears Giaour's voice telling him that if he will worship The Giaour and the jinns of the earth, and renounce the teachings of Islam, he will bring Vathek to "the palace of the subterrain fire" (22) where Soliman Ben Daoud controls the talismans that rule over the world.

Vathek agrees, and proceeds with the ritual that The Giaour demands: to sacrifice fifty of the city's children. In return, Vathek will receive a key of great power. Vathek holds a "competition" among the children of the nobles of Samarah, declaring that the winners will receive "endless favors." As the children approach Vathek for the competition, he throws them inside an ebony portal to be sacrificed. Once this is finished, The Giaour makes the portal disappear. The Samaran citizens see Vathek alone and accuse him of having sacrificed their children to The Giaour, and form a mob to kill Vathek. Carathis pleads with Morakanabad to help save Vathek's life; the vizier complies, and calms the crowd down.

Vathek wonders when his reward will come, and Carathis says that he must fulfill his end of the pact and sacrifice to the Jinn of the earth. Carathis helps him prepare the sacrifice: she and her son climb to the top of the tower and mix oils to create an explosion of light. The people, presuming that the tower is on fire, rush up the stairs to save Vathek from being burnt to death. Instead, Carathis sacrifices them to the Jinn. Carathis performs another ritual and learns that for Vathek to claim his reward, he must go to Istakhar.

Vathek goes away with his wives and servants, leaving the city in the care of Morakanabad and Carathis. A week after he leaves, his caravan is attacked by carnivorous animals. The soldiers panic and accidentally set the area on fire; Vathek and his wives must flee. Still, they continue on their way. They reach steep mountains where the Islamic dwarves dwell. They invite Vathek to rest with them, possibly in the hopes of converting him back to Islam. Vathek sees a message his mother left for him: "Beware of old doctors and their puny messengers of but one cubit high: distrust their pious frauds; and, instead of eating their melons, impale on a spit the bearers of them. Should thou be so fool as to visit them, the portal to the subterranean place will shut in thy face" (53). Vathek becomes angry and claims that he has followed The Giaour’s instructions long enough. He stays with the dwarves, meets their Emir, named Fakreddin, and Emir's beautiful daughter Nouronihar.

Vathek wants to marry her, but she is already promised to her effeminate cousin Gulchenrouz, whom she loves and who loves her back. Vathek thinks she should be with a "real" man and arranges for Bababalouk to kidnap Gulchenrouz. The Emir, finding of the attempted seduction, asks Vathek to kill him, as he has seen "the prophet’s vice-regent violate the laws of hospitality." But Nouronihar prevents Vathek from killing her father and Gulchenrouz escapes. The Emir and his servants then meet and they develop a plan to safeguard Nouronihar and Gulchenrouz, by drugging them and place them in a hidden valley by a lake where Vathek cannot find them. The plan succeeds temporarily – the two are drugged, brought to the valley, and convinced on their awakening that they have died and are in purgatory. Nouronihar, however, grows curious about her surroundings and ascends to find out what lies beyond the valley. There she meets Vathek, who is mourning for her supposed death. Both realise that her 'death' has been a sham. Vathek then orders Nouronihar to marry him, she abandons Gulchenrouz, and the Emir abandons hope.

Meanwhile, in Samarah, Carathis can discover no news of her son from reading the stars. She conjures the spirits of a graveyard to perform a spell that makes her appear in front of Vathek, who is bathing with Nouronihar. She tells him he is wasting his time with Nouronihar and has broken one of the rules of The Giaour's contract. She asks him to drown Nouronihar, but Vathek refuses, because he intends to make her his Queen. Carathis then decides to sacrifice Gulchenrouz, but before she can catch him, Gulchenrouz jumps into the arms of a Genie who protects him. That night, Carathis hears that Motavakel, Vathek's brother, is planning to lead a revolt against Morakanabad. Carathis tells Vathek that he has distinguished himself by breaking the laws of hospitality by ‘seducing’ the Emir’s daughter after sharing his bread, and that if he can commit one more crime along the way he shall enter Soliman’s gates triumphant.

Vathek continues on his journey, reaches Rocnabad, and degrades and humiliates its citizens for his own pleasure.

A Genie asks Mohammed for permission to try to save Vathek from his eternal damnation. He takes the form of a saintly shepherd who plays the flute to make men realise their sins. The shepherd asks Vathek if he is done sinning, warns Vathek about Eblis, ruler of Hell, and asks Vathek to return home, destroy his tower, disown Carathis, and preach Islam. He has until a set moment to decide yes or no. Vathek's pride wins out, and he tells the shepherd that he will continue on his quest for power, and values his mother more than life itself or God's mercy. The moment is past, and the shepherd screams and vanishes. Vathek's servants desert him; Nouronihar becomes immensely prideful.

Finally, Vathek reaches Istakhar, where he finds more swords with writing on them, which says "Thou hast violated the conditions of my parchment, and deserve to be sent back, but in favour to thy companion, and as the meed for what thou hast done to obtain it, Eblis permitted that the portal of this place will receive thee” (108). The Giaour opens the gates with a golden key, and Vathek and Nouronihar step through into a place of gold where Genies of both sexes dance lasciviously. The Giaour leads them to Eblis, who tells them that they may enjoy whatever his empire holds. Vathek asks to be taken to the talismans that govern the world. There, Soliman tells Vathek that he had once been a great king, but was seduced by a Jinn and received the power to make everyone in the world do his bidding. But because of this, Soliman is destined to suffer in hell for a finite but vast period – until the waterfall he is sitting beside, stops. This eventual end to his punishment is due to his piety in the earlier part of his reign. The other inmates must suffer the fire in their hearts for all eternity. Vathek asks The Giaour to release him, saying he will relinquish all he was offered, but The Giaour refuses. He tells Vathek to enjoy his omnipotence while it lasts, for in a few days he will be tormented.

Vathek and Nouronihar become increasingly discontented with the palace of flames. Vathek orders an Ifreet to fetch Carathis from the castle. While the Ifreet is bringing Carathis, Vathek meets some people who are,like him, awaiting the execution of their own sentences of eternal suffering. Three relate to Vathek how they got to Eblis' domain.<ref>These narratives were, until restored to their intended place in the novel, in the 1971 Ballantine edition, lost until 1909, discovered by [[Lewis Melville]]. They were then published in a separate book in 1912.</ref> When Carathis arrives, he warns her of what happens to those who enter Eblis' domain, but Carathis takes the talismans of earthly power from Soliman regardless. She gathers the Jinns and tries to overthrow one of the Solimans, but Eblis decrees "It is time." Carathis, Vathek, Nouronihar, and the other denizens of hell lose "the most precious gift granted by heaven – HOPE" (119). They begin to feel eternal remorse for their crimes, their hearts burning with literal eternal fire.

"Such was, and should be, the punishment of unrestrained passion and atrocious deeds! Such shall be the chastisement of that blind curiosity, which would transgress those bounds the wisdom the Creator has prescribed to human knowledge; and such the dreadful disappointment of that restless ambition, which, aiming at discoveries reserved for beings of a supernatural order, perceives not, through its infatuated pride, that the condition of man upon earth is to be – humble and ignorant."

== Characters ==

;Carathis: Vathek’s mother. She is a Greek woman who is well versed in science, astrology, and occult magic. She teaches all of her skills to Vathek, and convinces him to embark on his quest for power which eventually leads to his damnation. When arriving in hell, Carathis runs amok, exploring the palace, discovering its hidden secrets, and even tries to stage a rebellion. However, once her own punishment is enacted, she too loses all hope and is consumed by her guilt.

;Vathek: Ninth Caliph of the Abassides, who ascended to the throne at an early age. His figure was pleasing and majestic, but when angry, his eyes became so terrible that "the wretch on whom it was fixed instantly fell backwards and sometimes expired" (1). He was addicted to women and pleasures of the flesh, so he ordered five palaces to be built: the five palaces of the senses. Although he was an eccentric man, learned in the ways of science, physics, and astrology, he loved his people. His main greed, however, was thirst for knowledge. He wanted to know everything. This is what led him on the road to damnation.

;Giaour: His name means ''blasphemer'' and ''infidel''. He claims to be an Indian merchant, but in actuality he is a Jinn who works for the arch-demon '''Eblis'''. He guides Vathek and gives him instructions on how to reach the palace of fire.

;Emir Fakreddin: Vathek’s host during his travels. He offers Vathek a place to stay and rest. He is deeply religious. Vathek betrays his hospitality by seducing his daughter.

;Nouronihar: The Emir’s daughter, a beautiful girl who is promised to '''Gulchenrouz''', but is seduced by Vathek and joins him in his road to damnation.

;Gulchenrouz: A beautiful young man with feminine features. He is the Emir’s nephew. Due to his innocence, he is rescued from Carathis's hands and is allowed to live in eternal youth in a palace above the clouds.

;Bababalouk: Head of Vathek's eunuchs. He is cunning and acts as a steward on Vathek's journey.

;Morakanabad: Vathek's loyal and unsuspecting vizier.

;Sutlememe: The Emir's head eunuch who serves as a caretaker for Nouronihar and Gulchenrouz.

;Dilara: Vathek's favourite.

==Themes==

In Islamic mythology, the [[Genie|Djinn]] (Jinn) are fiery spirits. The djinn are creatures who lived on earth before man; they were made up of 'smokeless fire'.

A [[eunuch]] is a [[castrate]]d man; the term usually refers to those castrated to perform a specific social function, as was common in many societies of the past.

[[Khalif]] (Caliph in Vathek) (from [[Arabic language|Arabic]] خلافة khilāfa) is the head of state in a [[Caliphate]], and the title for the leader of the Islamic [[Ummah]], or global Islamic nation. It is a transliterated version of the Arabic word خليفة Khalīfah which means "successor" or "representative." The early leaders of the Muslim nation following Muhammad's (570–632) death were called "Khalifat ar-rasul Allah," meaning political successor.

[[Iblīs]] (Eblis in Vathek) (Arabic إبليس) or Shayṭān (or, Shaitan) ({{lang-ar|شيطان}}) (plural: شياطين Shayatin), is name given to the primary [[devil]] in Islam. He appears more often referred in the [[Qur'an]] as the [[Shaitan|Shayṭān]], a general purpose term used to refer to all of the evil spirits in alliance with Iblīs, but which is often used to refer to just Iblīs. Iblīs was a Jinn, a creature made of 'smokeless fire' by God (like humans are made of 'clay'). In an outburst rooted in envy, Iblīs disobeyed [[Allah]] and was expelled from the grace of Allah. He was later sent to earth along with [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] after having lured them into eating fruit from the forbidden tree, although in this role he is always referred to as ash-shayṭān.

[[Bilqis]] (Balkis in Vathek) ({{lang-he|מלכת שבא}}, {{transl|sem|''Malkat Shva''}}; {{lang-gez|ንግሥተ ሳባ}}, {{transl|gez|''Nigist Saba''}}; ({{lang|gez|ማክዳ}} {{transl|gez|''mākidā''}}); {{lang-ar|ملكة سبأ}}, ''{{transl|sem|Malikat Sabaʾ}}'') was the woman who ruled the ancient kingdom of [[Sheba]] and is referred to in [[Habesha]]n history, the [[Hebrew Bible]], the [[New Testament]], and the [[Qur'an]]. She is mentioned (unnamed) in the Bible in the [[Books of Kings]] and [[Book of Chronicles]] as a great queen who seeks out [[Solomon]] to learn if the tales of his wisdom are true. She is also mentioned in Jewish legends as a queen with a great love for learning, in African tales as "the queen of [[Egypt]] and [[Ethiopia]]", and in Muslim tradition as Balkis, a great queen of a nation that worshiped the sun who later converted to Salomon's god. The Roman historian [[Josephus]] calls her Nicaule. She is thought to have been born on 5 January, sometime in the 10th century BC.

==Literary significance and criticism==

[[George Byron, 6th Baron Byron|George Gordon, Lord Byron]] cited ''Vathek'' as a source for his poem, ''The Giaour''. In
''Childe Harold's Pilgrimage'', Byron also calls Vathek "England's wealthiest son." Other [[Romantic poetry|Romantic poets]] wrote works with a Middle-Eastern setting inspired by ''Vathek'', included [[Robert Southey]]'s ''[[Thalaba the Destroyer]]'' (1801) and [[Thomas Moore]]'s
''[[Lalla-Rookh]]'' (1817).<ref>Robert J. Gemmett, ''William Beckford''. Twayne Publishers, 1977, (137).</ref> [[John Keats]]'s vision of the [[Underworld]] in [[Endymion (poem)|''Endymion'']] (1818) is indebted to the novel.<ref>Barnard, John. ''John Keats : The Complete Poems'' p 595 ISBN 978-0-14-042210-8</ref>

[[H. P. Lovecraft]] also cited ''Vathek'' as the inspiration for his never-finished novel ''[[Azathoth (short story)|Azathoth]]''.<ref>[[Robert M. Price]], ''The Azathoth Cycle'', pp. vi–ix.</ref> ''Vathek'' is also believed to have been a model for Lovecraft's completed novel ''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]''.<ref>[[S. T. Joshi]] and David E. Schultz, "Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The", ''An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia'', (p. 74). Hippocampus Press, 2004. ISBN 0-9748789-1-X.</ref>

American Fantasy author [[Clark Ashton Smith]] greatly admired "Vathek". Smith later wrote "The Third Episode of Vathek", the completion of a fragment by Beckford that was entitled "The Story of the Princess Zulkaïs and the Prince Kalilah". "The Third Episode of Vathek"
was published in [[R. H. Barlow|Robert H. Barlow's]] fanzine ''Leaves'' in 1937, and
later in Smith's 1960 collection ''[[The Abominations of Yondo]]''.<ref>Clark Ashton Smith,

''Vathek'' has been well received by historians of the [[fantasy]] genre;
[[Les Daniels]] stated ''Vathek'' was "a unique and delightful book". Daniels
argued ''Vathek'' had little in common with the other "Gothic" novels; "Beckford's luxuriant imagery
and sly humour create a mood totally antithetical to that suggested by the grey castles
and black deeds of medieval Europe".<ref>Les Daniels (1975).
''Living in Fear: A History of Horror in the Mass Media.'' Da Capo Press, (P. 17). ISBN 0306801930 .</ref> [[Franz Rottensteiner]]
calls the novel "a marvellous story, the creation of an erratic but powerful imagination, which
brilliantly evokes the mystery and wonder associated with the Orient"<ref>Franz Rottensteiner,
''The Fantasy Book:an illustrated history from Dracula to Tolkien''. Collier Books, 1978, (p. 21). ISBN 0-02-053560-0</ref> and
[[Brian Stableford]] has praised the work as the "classic novel ''Vathek''-a feverish and gleefully perverse
[[Decadent movement|decadent]]/[[Arabian fantasy]]".
<ref>Brian Stableford,"Beckford, William", in ''The A to Z of Fantasy Literature''. Scarecrow Press, 2005, (p.40). ISBN 0-8108-6829-6</ref>

==Allusions/references to other works==
Eblis, the architect of Vathek's damnation, was modelled on [[Iblis]] or [[Azazel]]; Beckford's use of the name is derived from [[John Milton]]'s ''[[Paradise Lost]]'' (see [[Fallen angel]]).

Chapter 7 of [[Roberto Bolaño]]'s ''Distant Star'' also mentions it. {{citation needed|date=April 2012}}

[[H.G. Wells]] alludes to it in ''Tono-Bungay.''<ref>John Batchelor,
''H. G. Wells: British and Irish Authors'' Cambridge University Press,, 1985
ISBN 052127804X, (p.1).</ref>

Argentinian writer Eduardo Berti's short story "El traductor apresurado" ("The Hurried Translator", published in 2002 on "La vida imposible") strongly alludes to Beckford's novel. {{citation needed|date=April 2012}}

Vathek, a symphonic poem written in 1913, composed by [[Luis de Freitas Branco|Luís de Freitas Branco]], was inspired by this novel.<ref>[http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2001/Nov01/Branco.htm LUÍS DE FREITAS BRANCO (1890–1955),Portuguese Composer]</ref>

Vathek's insatiable thirst for knowledge also parallels the attitude seen in the character of Dr. Faustus, in Christopher Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus".

Heatseekers Charts

2014-12-31T03:16:40Z

Loriendrew: clean up using AWB

{{refimprove|date=June 2009}}
'''Top Heatseekers''' refers to either of two separate "Breaking and Entering" music charts issued weekly by [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'' Magazine]]: the '''Heatseekers Albums''' chart or the '''Heatseekers Songs''' chart. They were introduced by ''Billboard'' in 1991<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=XwgEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA20&ots=t5h6EVAXxb&dq=Heatseekers+1993&pg=PA20&redir_esc=y#v=twopage&q&f=false |title=Billboard - Google Books |publisher=Books.google.com |date= |accessdate=2013-11-09}}</ref> with the purpose of highlighting the sales by new and developing musical recording artists. Albums and songs appearing on Top Heatseekers may also concurrently appear on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] or [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].

==Heatseekers Albums chart==
The Heatseekers Albums chart contains 50 positions that are ranked by [[Nielsen SoundScan]] sales data, and charts album titles from "new or developing acts" as determined by the acts' historical chart performance. Once an artist/act has had an album place in the top 100 of the ''Billboard'' Top 200, or in the top ten of any of the [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums]], Country Albums, [[Billboard Top Latin Albums|Latin Albums]], [[Christian Albums]], or Gospel Albums charts, the album and later works no longer qualify for tracking on Heatseeker Albums.<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/heatseekers-albums Billboard "Heatseekers Albums"] Chart definition requires JavaScript for viewing, click on "more" in title line. ''Billboard'' Web site. Retrieved 2010-03-30.</ref>

Many artists have bypassed Top Heatseekers altogether by having their initial chart entry debut on the ''Billboard'' 200 at position 100 or above.

==Heatseekers Songs chart==
The Heatseekers Songs chart contains 50 positions, rated by a combination of [[Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems|Nielsen BDS]] airplay measurements, Nielsen SoundScan sales data, and streaming activity figures from online music sources. Like Heatseekers Albums, this chart tracks titles from "new or developing acts", similarly determined by the acts' historical chart performance. An artist's song is no longer eligible for Heatseekers Songs when the artist has had a song place in the top 50 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 (or had had a radio song before December 5, 1998).<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/heatseekers-songs Billboard "Heatseekers Songs"] Chart definition requires JavaScript for viewing, click on "more" in title line.

Robert Reid (Maler)

2014-12-05T03:16:24Z

Loriendrew: clean up using AWB

[[Image:Reid Robert Lewis Girl with Flowers.jpg|thumb|''Girl with Flowers'']]

'''Robert Lewis Reid''' (July 29, 1862 – December 2, 1929) was an [[American Impressionist]] [[Painting|painter]] and [[mural]]ist.

==Life and work==
[[File:Reid Robert Lewis The Yellow Flower aka The Artist-s Wife in the Garden.jpg|thumb||The Yellow Flower aka The Artist-s Wife in the Garden]]
Robert Reid was born in [[Stockbridge, Massachusetts]] and attended the [[School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]] under [[Otto Grundmann]], where he was also later an instructor. In 1884 he moved to [[New York City]], studying at the [[Art Students League of New York|Art Students League]], and in 1885 he went to [[Paris]] to study at the [[Académie Julian]] under [[Gustave Boulanger]] and [[Jules Joseph Lefebvre]]. His early pictures were figures of French peasants, painted at [[Étaples]].{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}

Upon returning to New York in 1889, he worked as a [[portrait]]ist and later became an instructor at the Art Students League and [[Cooper Union]]. Much of his work centered on the depiction of young women set among flowers. His work tended to be very decorative, and he became known for [[mural]] decoration and designs for [[stained glass]]. He contributed with others to the frescoes of the dome of the Liberal Arts Building at the [[Columbian Exposition]], Chicago, in 1893.

In 1897, Reid was a member of the [[Ten American Painters]], who seceded from the [[Society of American Artists]]. In 1906 he became a full member of the [[National Academy of Design]]. Around the turn of the century, Reid worked on several mural projects and when he returned to paintings, around 1905, his work was more naturalistic, even though his palette trended toward soft pastels.

He has work in the [[Library of Congress|Congressional Library]], [[Washington, D.C.]],
the Appellate Court House, New York, and the [[State House (Boston)|State House, Boston]], where are his three large panels, “James Otis Delivering his Speech against the Writs of Assistance,”
“Paul Revere's Ride” and the “Boston Tea Party.” He executed a panel for the American Pavilion at the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|Paris Exhibition, 1900]], and in 1906 he completed a series of ten stained
glass windows for the [[Unitarian Memorial Church]] at [[Fairhaven, Massachusetts|Fairhaven, Mass.]]. Reid's “The Martyrdom of St. Paul” is located at the southwestern end of the nave of the [[Church of St. Paul the Apostle]] in New York City.

Robert Reid's murals for the Palace of Fine Arts building at the Pan-Pacific International Exhibition (San Francisco, 1915) were an extraordinary tribute to the Arts.
Eight huge panels graced the ceiling of the rotunda:
The Four Golds of California (Golden Metal, Wheat, Citrus Fruits, and Poppies);
plus Ideals in Art, Inspirations of All Arts, the Birth of European Art. and Birth of Oriental Art<ref>http://www.books-about-california.com/Pages/Art_of_the_Exposition/Art_of_the_Expo_Appendix_B.html</ref> These paintings no longer exist in San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts, which was re-built in the 1960s. Their current whereabouts is unknown.

He died in [[Clifton Springs, New York]].

National Recording Registry

Loriendrew: /* 2013 */ (edited with ProveIt)

{{Use mdy dates|date=June 2011}}
[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|right|[[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech was one of the 50 recordings added on the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.]]
The '''National Recording Registry''' is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> which created the [[National Recording Preservation Board]], whose members are appointed by the [[Librarian of Congress]]. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of [[recording]]s selected yearly by the [[National Recording Preservation Board]] for preservation in the [[Library of Congress]].<ref name="CR">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref>

The legislative intent of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 was to develop a national program to guard America's [[sound recording]] heritage. The Act resulted in the formations of the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation to aid their efforts.<ref name="O">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-about.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Overview |date=November 16, 2006 |accessdate=February 26, 2007}}</ref> The act established the Registry specifically for the purpose of maintaining and preserving sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.<ref name="NRPB">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-home.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= Current Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref> Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board began selecting nominated recordings each year to be preserved.

The first four yearly lists included 50 selections. However, since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. Thus, a total of 400 recordings have been preserved in the Registry {{as of|2013|lc=on}}. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections to be announced the following spring. Nominations are made in the following categories:

{{Div col|2}}
* Blues
* Broadway/Musical Theatre/Soundtrack
* Cajun/Zydeco/"Swamp"
* Children's recordings
* Choral
* Classical
* Comedy/Novelty
* Country/Bluegrass
* Documentary/Broadcast/Spoken Word
* Environmental
* Field
* Folk/Ethnic
* Gospel/Spiritual
* Heavy Metal
* Jazz
* Latin
* Pop (pre-1955)
* Pop (post-1955)
* R&B
* Radio
* Rap/Hip-hop
* Rock
* Technology
{{Div col end}}

Each yearly list has often included a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]' audiovisual collection. Those recordings on the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry that are of a political nature will tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.

<onlyinclude>

==Selection criteria==
The criteria for selection are as follows:<ref name="NRRC">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= National Recording Registry Criteria |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>

* Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are those that are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.
* For the purposes of recording selection, "sound recordings" are defined as works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, but not including the sound component of a moving image work, unless it is available as an autonomous sound recording or is the only extant component of the work.
* Recordings may be a single item or group of related items; published or unpublished; and may contain music, non-music, spoken word, or broadcast sound.
* Recordings will not be considered for inclusion into the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
* No recording should be denied inclusion into the National Recording Registry because that recording has already been preserved.
* No recording is eligible for inclusion into the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.

==2002==
On January 27, 2003, the following 50 selections were announced by the National Recording Preservation Board.<ref name="NRR2">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/registry/nrpb-2002reg.html |publisher=The Library of Congress |title= The National Recording Registry 2002 |date=December 6, 2006 |accessdate=February 9, 2007}}</ref>

The most recent is the song "[[Dear Mama]]" by [[Tupac Shakur|2Pac]] which came out in 1995 on his album ''[[Me Against the World]]''.<ref name="NRPB2">{{cite web |url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-masterlist.html |publisher=[[The Library of Congress]] |title= Full Registry |date=November 3, 2006 |accessdate=December 16, 2009}}</ref>

Selections vary widely in duration.
