Elmo letters of the day


The Letter of the Day | Muppet Wiki

The Letter of the Day is a Sesame Street segment introduced in 2002, hosted by Cookie Monster. In 2004, Prairie Dawn appeared with Cookie Monster in the segments.

The original segments from 2002 all involved the letter written in icing on a cookie, which Cookie Monster constantly tried not to eat, but in the end, he gave in and ate the cookie anyway. Frank Oz performed Cookie Monster in some of these segments, and occasionally another character would help him, usually Grover or Prairie Dawn, as well as Ernie in an unaired segment.

Starting in 2004, when he was teamed up with Prairie Dawn, the letter presented was just a foam letter which Cookie Monster often wanted to eat. Prairie Dawn kept trying to get Cookie not to eat the letter, but Cookie Monster always managed to find a way to eat it anyway.

Some segments produced in 2005 involved "The Letter of the Day Games," a game show introduced by a very energetic off-camera announcer (voiced by Matt Vogel).

"The Letter of the Day" was a daily segment on the show until 2007. The 2004 segments with Cookie and Prairie Dawn appeared in some (but not all) episodes during that season. In season 39, new segments were made, commonly connecting to the street scene for that episode, featuring other characters instead of Cookie Monster. In season 40, Murray Monster began hosting the Letter of the Day, in addition to introducing various other show elements.

Castle of St.

Elma (Castel S. Elmo)

The castle dominates the historic center of Naples, occupying the top of the Vomer hill. The first mention of the still nameless fortress dates back to 1275. In 1329, the architect from Siena Tino di Camaino under Robert of Anjou was engaged in its construction (the buildings were dismantled at the end of the 15th century). In 1348, the name castrum Sancti Erasmi (Castle of St. Erasmus) was found for the first time, after the chapel. The name Erasmo was transformed into Ermo, then into Elmo - on the upper terrace there is a church dedicated to St. Erasmus. nine0003

The castle received its modern star-shaped configuration with curtains and a bastion during the era of Spanish rule, when in 1537-1538, by order of the Spanish Viceroy Pedro I of Toledo, it was rebuilt according to the design of the military engineer Pedro Luis Scriva. In 1599-1610, it was restored according to the project of Domenico Fontana. It was also used as a prison, where many eminent people were imprisoned: T. Campanella, M. Pagano, E. Carafa, P. Coletta, S. Spaventa, C. Poerio.

During the Austrian rule, from 1707 to 1734, the Austrian military garrison was stationed in the fortress, then the contingent of the Neapolitan Bourbon troops. From 1860 to 1952 - a military prison.

From the travel diary of P.A. Tolstoy (recorded on July 7/17, 1698): “The city of Naples, under the rule of the king of Gispansky, stands on level ground by the sea, close to one high mountain, on which the Neapolitan fort is built, a stone fortress with a fair amount. On that mountain, throughout the Neapolitan inhabitants, there are fair houses and gardens. nine0003

On May 6/17, 1717, Tsarevich Alexei and Efrosinya arrived in Naples and two days later were placed in the castle of St. Almo. Veselovsky, meanwhile, did not stop searching, Captain A.I. was first sent to help him. Rumyantsev, and then an experienced diplomat, Count Pyotr Andreevich Tolstoy. They found the prince very soon - when Alexei was just being taken to Naples, Rumyantsev followed him and informed the tsar about everything. Peter, together with Rumyantsev, sent P.A. to Vienna. Tolstoy to demand the extradition of the prince from the emperor, promising him forgiveness on behalf of his father. If the emperor does not agree to extradition, then at least get a meeting with the prince and convince him to return to Russia. nine0003

Charles VI did not agree to extradition, but allowed Tolstoy and Rumyantsev to meet with Alexei. Having released Peter's confidants to Naples, the emperor instructed Down, who managed his southern Italian possessions with the rank of Viceroy, to assist the prince voluntarily agree to return to his father, but if the prince does not succumb to convictions, then assure him that he can remain safe in the imperial possessions . Tolstoy and Rumyantsev arrived in Naples on September 24/October 5, 1717. nine0003

Then Tolstoy bribed Down's secretary, Weinhardt, for 60 chervonets, so that he, on his own behalf, would frighten the prince and convince him to return. Weingardt went to Alexei and began to tell him: “Imperial patronage is not entirely reliable for you: the tsar announces that he forgives his son, but the son does not go; if the king decides to wage war, then the emperor, reluctantly, will give his son to his father. Weingardt's words alarmed the prince so much that he himself wrote to Tolstoy and asked him to come, only without Rumyantsev, whom he was especially afraid of. Tolstoy came to him and said that Peter was gathering an army, he wanted to get his son with weapons. The frightened prince consulted with Efrosinya, and she said that it was better to submit to her father's will and ask her father for forgiveness. This solved everything. The next day, the prince announced to Tolstoy that he agreed to go to Russia if he was allowed to marry Efrosinya and live with her in the countryside. Tolstoy, as the tsar's representative, gave his consent on behalf of the tsar. Alexei was also encouraged by Peter's letter dated November 17/28, in which he promised to forgive him. nine0003

This operation lasted two months with the use of all types of pressure. The envoys of Peter, promised father's forgiveness, bribed everyone around, intimidated Alexei. Finally, the Austrian authorities were intimidated by the threat of an invasion by Peter's troops. As a result, on October 4/15, 1717, Alexei wrote to his father: “Most merciful sovereign father! Hoping for your gracious promise, I put myself in your will, and with those sent from you, sir, I will go from Naples these days to you, sir, in St. Petersburg. The most humble and indecent slave and unworthy to be called the son of Alexei. The prince gave up and went home. At the last Austrian station, an envoy of Charles VI caught up with them in order to find out for the last time whether the prince was returning voluntarily. Tolstoy was dissatisfied with this interrogation, but Alexei confirmed that he was returning voluntarily. On January 31 / February 11, 1718, the prince was brought to Moscow. nine0003

A characteristic dialogue is led by the political emigrant B.N. Shiryaev, a DP (“displaced person”) who lived semi-legally in Naples in the late 1940s:

“Look at that rock , Alexander Ivanovich,” I point out to my interlocutor, a miner from Donbass, “do you see the remains of the old tower?

- There? I see. And what? Aren't there many breakdowns here?

– These are special for us Russians. In them, that is, in this castle, Tsarevich Alexei was hiding more than two hundred years ago. Son of Peter the Great. nine0003

- Why did he get there?

- Escaped from the wrath of the king-father.

- Well, and then returned to Russia again?

- Came back and died.

- So, it seems that the first DP was also ...

- Not the first, perhaps, but like ...

- Well, well ... And this happened with the royal sons.

We fall silent, and everyone thinks his own, but it turns out that our thoughts flow along the same channel. nine0003

- Died, you say. It means that he could not fulfill his royal duties, - Alexander Ivanovich argues aloud. - It's hard. Right. A difficult and dangerous job. According to history, out of ten emperors, five were killed. Worse than an assault battalion is a profession.

Now the castle is the property of the city and is administered by the Inspectorate for the Protection of Monuments (Soprintendenza per Beni Artistici e Storici di Napoli). Part of the ensemble has been museumified, there is also a library on the history of art, a number of municipal services. Conferences, exhibitions, festivals are held. nine0003
