A classical dictionary of the vulgar tongue (1788) by Francis Grose (The Second Edition, Corrected and Enlarged, London) contains the following entry: "CHESHIRE CAT. He grins like a Cheshire cat; said of any one who shows his teeth and gums in laughing."
The phrase appears again in print in John Wolcot's pseudonymous Peter Pindar's Pair of Lyric Epistles (1792): "Lo, like a Cheshire cat our court will grin."
Dairy farming[edit]
A possible origin of the phrase "Grinning like a Cheshire Cat" is one favoured by the people of Cheshire, which boasts numerous dairy farms; hence the cats grin because of the abundance of milk and cream.[1]
Cheese moulds[edit]
Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable says grinning like a Cheshire cat is "an old simile, popularised by Lewis Carroll". According to Brewer's Dictionary, "The phrase has never been satisfactorily accounted for, but it has been said that cheese was formerly sold in Cheshire moulded like a cat that looked as though it was grinning".[2] The cheese was cut from the tail end, so that the last part eaten was the head of the smiling cat.[citation needed]
Church carvings[edit]
There are many reports that Carroll found inspiration for the name and expression of the Cheshire Cat in the 16th century sandstone carving of a grinning cat, on the west face of St. Wilfrid's Church tower in Grappenhall, a village adjacent to his birthplace in Daresbury, Cheshire.[citation needed]
Lewis Carroll's father, Reverend Charles Dodgson, was Rector of Croft and Archdeacon of Richmond in North Yorkshire, England, from 1843 to 1868; Carroll lived here from 1843 to 1850.[3] Historians believe Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat in the book Alice in Wonderland was inspired by a carving in Croft church.[4]
In 1992, members of the Lewis Carroll Society attributed it to a gargoyle found on a pillar in St. Nicolas Church, Cranleigh, where Carroll used to travel frequently when he lived in Guildford (though this is doubtful as he moved to Guildford some three years after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland had been published) and a carving in a church in the village of Croft-on-Tees, in the north east of England, where his father had been rector.[5]
Carroll is believed[according to whom?] to have visited St. Christopher's church in Pott Shrigley, Cheshire, which has a stone sculpture most closely resembling the pictorial cat in the book.[citation needed]
Heraldic lion[edit]
In 1853, Samuel Maunder explains:
- "This phrase owes its origin to the unhappy attempts of a sign painter of that country to represent a lion rampant, which was the crest of an influential family, on the sign-boards of many of the inns. The resemblance of these lions to cats caused them to be generally called by the more ignoble name. A similar case is to be found in the village of Charlton, between Pewsey and Devizes, Wiltshire. A public-house by the roadside is commonly known by the name of The Cat at Charlton. The sign of the house was originally a lion or tiger, or some such animal, the crest of the family of Sir Edward Poore."[6]
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland[edit]
Alice first encounters the Cheshire Cat at the Duchess' house in her kitchen, and then later outside on the branches of a tree, where it appears and disappears at will, engaging Alice in amusing but sometimes vexing conversation. The cat sometimes raises philosophical points that annoy or baffle Alice. It does, however, appear to cheer her up when it turns up suddenly at the Queen of Hearts' croquet field, and when sentenced to death baffles everyone by having made its head appear without its body, sparking a massive argument between the executioner and the King and Queen of Hearts about whether something that does not have a body can indeed be beheaded.
At one point, the cat disappears gradually until nothing is left but its grin, prompting Alice to remark that she has often seen a cat without a grin but never a grin without a cat.[7]
Cultural uses[edit]
The Cheshire Cat is one of many iconic characters depicted in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that have become enmeshed in popular culture,[8] appearing in various forms of media, from political cartoons to television.[9][10] One of its distinguishing features is that from time to time it disappears, the last thing to be seen being its grin.
Adaptations of the Alice books in film and other media[edit]
Disney film[edit]

The Cheshire Cat in Disney's Alice in Wonderland
|First appearance
|Alice in Wonderland
|Created by

|Portrayed by
|Sterling Holloway (Alice in Wonderland)
Jim Cummings (2004–present)
In the 1951 Disney animated film, Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat is depicted as an intelligent yet mischievous character that sometimes helps Alice and sometimes gets her into trouble. He frequently sings the first verse of the Jabberwocky poem. The Disney interpretation of the Cheshire Cat is able to separate his body parts and rearrange them as he pleases.
1999 TV film[edit]
In the 1999 television adaptation of the books, the Cheshire Cat is portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg. She fully acts as an ally and friend to Alice, the latter defending the cat when she is threatened with execution.
2010 film[edit]
Cheshire in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
|First appearance
|Alice in Wonderland
|Created by
|Lewis Carroll
|Portrayed by
|Stephen Fry
The Cheshire Cat appears in Walt Disney's 2010 Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton. In the movie, Cheshire (as he is referred to by other Wonderland characters) first appears to Alice as she is walking alone in the forest. He helps her by binding the wound she suffered earlier by the Bandersnatch and taking her to the Hatter and the March Hare. He is later blamed by the Hatter for deserting during the Red Queen's attack where the White Queen's throne was usurped. It should be noted that the Cheshire Cat defends himself by saying that he did not leave, but merely turned invisible. However, as the plot moves along, he redeems himself by changing his form to resemble the Hatter during his execution and then evaporates as the axe is about to make contact, thus fooling everyone as the Hatter's hat floats up to the Queen's seat and Cheshire appears and winks.[11] The character was voiced by Stephen Fry.[12] In the video game adaptation of the movie, Cheshire is a playable character who can not only turn himself invisible, but other objects around him as well.
Other major appearances and cultural references[edit]
Prior to the release of the 1951 Walt Disney animated adaptation of the story, scholars observed few specific allusions to this character. Martin Gardner, author of The Annotated Alice, wondered if T. S. Eliot had the Cheshire Cat in mind when writing Morning at the Window but notes no other significant allusions in the pre-war period.[13]
Images of and references to the Cheshire Cat cropped up more frequently in the 1960s and 1970s, along with more frequent references to Carroll's works in general. (See generally the lyrics to White Rabbit by the rock group Jefferson Airplane).[14][15] The Cheshire Cat appeared on LSD blotters as well as in song lyrics and popular fiction.[16][17]
- The Cheshire Cat appears in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (a spin-off of Once Upon a Time) voiced by Keith David.[18] While looking for the Mad Hatter's house from the trees, Alice encounters the Cheshire Cat in giant form where the Red Queen had promised him that Alice would be good food for him. Both of them ended up engaging each other in combat until the Knave of Hearts arrived and threw a piece of one mushroom side into his mouth which shrank him back to normal size as the Cheshire Cat leaves.
Anime and manga[edit]
- The Cheshire Cat appears in the 1983 animated TV series Fushigi no Kuni no Alice. It is shown in one episode that he can lose his power to disappear if he sneezes, and that he needs blue flowers to restore it. Another Cheshire Cat appears as the cat of the Duchess but isn't magical.
- In CLAMP's Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat appears as a catgirl.
- In the Alice in the Country of Hearts or Heart no Kuni no Alice series of manga and anime, the Cheshire Cat appears as a catboy punk called Boris Airay. He has tattoos and body piercings, wears exposing outfits, a collar and chain, and a boa. He also has a fetish with weapons, especially guns. In the series, like many of the other characters, he falls in love with Alice.
- The villain Schrödinger, in the manga Hellsing, is described by his commanding officer, The Major, as the "smiling cat of Wonderland".
- In the anime and manga Pandora Hearts, one of the main characters, Alice, had a pet cat that died, but returns 100 years later as a chain in a realm created by one of Alice's memories. He came to call himself the Cheshire Cat, and had a more human-like appearance, or a catboy look.
- In the sixth episode of Serial Experiments Lain, Lain refers to a Wired user with an avatar consisting of disembodied, wide-grinning lips as a Cheshire Cat wannabe. Lain's friend, Alice, was named after the book's protagonist.
- The Pokémon character Gengar has the Cheshire Cat's mischievous smile.
- In the episode 'Haruhi in Wonderland' of the popular anime/manga Ouran High School Host Club, the twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin each dress up as the Cheshire Cat, allowing them to 'teleport' from one place to another. They keep up this charade until Haruhi tells them to come out. She cannot concentrate as they are making her dizzy.
- In the anime and manga Project ARMS one of the Keith has the ARM of the Cheshire Cat, which allows him to instantaneously 'teleport' at will.
An exhibit called The Cheshire Cat at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, created by Bob Miller in 1978, features a mirrored eyepiece that allows visitors to look at a picture of the Cheshire Cat's face with one eye, while the other eye sees a reflection of a white screen to the side.[19]
- The Cheshire Cat lends its name to two public houses in the county of Cheshire; one near Stockport[20] and another on the A41 just south of Chester.[21]
- In DC Comics, the New Goddess Malice Vundabar, niece of the villain Virman Vundabar, resembles Alice and controls a carnivorous creature called Chessure, that looks like nothing more than a grinning face. Cheshire is also the codename of the human assassin Jade Nguyen, who has a daughter with the heroic archer Roy "Speedy" Harper.
- In Marvel Comics, Cheshire Cat is a foe of Luke Cage. An ally of fellow Cage enemy Big Brother, Cheshire Cat is able to make himself invisible and teleport. His physical appearance and manner of speaking are both evocative of a classic hep cat, despite debuting in 1976.
- The late filmmaker Chris Marker gave his monumental documentary on the New Left movement of 1967–1977, Le fond de l'air est rouge (1977), the English title Grin Without a Cat. Like the original, it signifies that revolution was in the air but failed to take root. In the film, it is also stated: a spearhead without a spear, a grin without a cat.
- The Disney version of the character can also be spotted during the final scene of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988). The Cheshire Cat is heard singing the poem "Jabberwocky" before he materialises in front of Alice.
- The Cheshire Cat made non-speaking cameos in House of Mouse.
- The character Luka in video game Bayonetta is nicknamed "Cheshire" by the titular character, which is exhibited through his ability to appear or disappear at many locations throughout the game by use of a grappling hook.
- In the video games American McGee's Alice (2000); and the sequel Alice: Madness Returns (2011), the Cheshire Cat is portrayed as an enigmatic, yet wise guide for Alice in the corrupted Wonderland. In keeping with the twisted tone of the game, the Cheshire Cat is mangy and emaciated in appearance. His voice was provided by Roger L. Jackson, who also voiced the Mad Hatter and The Jabberwock in the game.
- In the Disney/Square Enix video game series Kingdom Hearts, loosely based on the Alice books as a subsequent adventure, the Cheshire Cat offers Sora, Donald and Goofy clues to prove that the Heartless attempted to steal the Queen of Hearts' heart and not Alice, along with the blizzard spell.
- The Cheshire Cat has made multiple appearances in the video game series Kingdom Hearts.
- The Cheshire Cat appears in the game Jazz Jackrabbit 2 as an alternatively appearing and reappearing platform. Also, the caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland appears as an enemy, that shoots smoke from his bookah.

You set in front of the Chef, he creates each entre directly in front of you. Want more from your dining experience? Get the wine sampling added, yep, $90.00, but it is awesome. ENJOY!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!DancingtastebudsDined on 9/14/2014Just about every one of our 13 dishes was spectacular--the kind that sends chills through your body the moment it hits your taste buds. Portions are larger than expected, so you really don't need 4-6 selections per person.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the WaithamburgerhelperDined on 9/14/2014My wife and I have been trying to get to Volt for 4 years now and we finally made it for Sunday brunch. This is truly a dining experience and we cannot wait to make a return for dinner. The atmosphere out on the patio was a perfect setting for an early fall brunch. The service was second to none and the food was top-notch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary AwesomeMike1205Dined on 9/13/2014Took my wife here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. Food was exceptionally good, and the staff and service was amazing. Was a perfect night.Special Features:
- Volt's a Jolt123456VIPDined on 9/12/2014In my opinion this is still the best restaurant on the East Coast. Bryan is one of the most creative chefs working in America today. It is a long haul from Alexandria, Virginia to Frederick but I try and eat there four or five times a year and the quality of the food and service has only improved over the years.Special Features:
- Not worth , huge let downChuckFinelyDined on 9/12/2014My wife and I have wanted to cime here for 5 years. We have tried foods around the world. We made reservations, checked in on time and was told to wait at the bar. 25 minutes later, and everyone else already being seated we got a phone call from Volt asking if we forgot about our reservation. The same woman who checked us in and called us took another 5 minutes before seating us. Each course got progressively worse. The appetizers were great, however spending $15 for 1 crab ravioli that was the size of a 50 cent piece is crazy. Everything was 5 to 10 over priced. By time we got to the desert the pairings they threw together didn't make sense or tasted correct. It felt like they put a blindfold on and grabbed random foods to blend.Special Features:
- Incredible food experienceUltracsicVIPDined on 9/11/2014Celebrating an Anniversary, we decided to try their table 21 experience. What a good decision. This review could go on for pages trying to describe how special this experience was, but suffice it to say it was one of the finest dining events we've experienced. It was 21 courses with such attention to detail and fine food pairings. Try this for a special occasion. Even small plates that we would normally not eat, such as clam, oyster or foie gras were all delicious. Such treats as char, cucumber, trout roe, and concord grape and calamari bolognese were memorable. A truly remarkable dining experience. You can order wine or partake of their pairings.Special Features:
- Great Anniversary DateOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary and really enjoyed the entire experience . Despite the small plates we were never waiting long for the next course and left full. The meal took about 2+ hours so plan on spending some quality time with this visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Another great birthday mealTheBergerKingDined on 9/7/2014Outstanding service as per usual at Volt. Creative and surprisingly filling tasting menu. Expensive meal, but worth the splurge.Special Features:
- maybe an off night?acuattoDined on 9/7/2014Volt was a destination choice, as we fans of both Top Chef and Brian Voltaggios's brother Michael's restaurant Ink in LA. We crafted our own 5 course tasking menu, a great option. Highlights were beet salad, foie gras, char, wagyu beef, and lobster raviolo. Everything else was good, not memorable. Problem was service. Cocktails arrived long after the amuse bouche. The wine came after our first course, white was warm. We asked for it to be cooled; it disappeared into an ice bucket in another room. I had to ask our server for refills all evening. Leaving the bucket on the table was "against the rules." We heard the wine director was off that night, so we'd try it Volt again if in the area; it just felt like they were off their game.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Staff just rattled off descriptionsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/7/2014I'm sort of a foodie and was slightly let down the staff just mumbled or went thru in a route fashion the different dishes. I'm sure it gets boring but I would have been more interested - honest. The food was excellent.Special Features:
- ExcellentBobFDined on 9/7/2014Every course contained gems and even the least popular items were still very good.Service was attentive without being suffocating and the waiter was personable,knowledgable and not pretentious.Plus,they accommodated gluten-free without missing a beat.Very expensive but worth it for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic food and serviceRestondinerVIPDined on 9/6/2014It was a special occasion - my wife's birthday - and our second time at Volt. First time we went with chef's menu (and it was very good), but this time decided to create our own "tasting" menu from a-la-carte offerings and it was great. The selections offered give everyone a range of things to try, the taste and texture are wonderful and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful, even rearranging the order of dishes being served to underscore the flavors and not to overwhelm the palate. All in all, Volt is one of the truly special places, well worth the drive to Frederick (it is an hour away from Reston even on the weekend).Special Features:
- Keep going back for food & ambiencecathy76Dined on 9/6/2014My husband and I loved the calamari bolognese. I thought the lamb braised flank, fava bean, meyer lemon, toasted yogurt was amazing. We love going to Volt for their relaxed atmosphere and excellent food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experiencekeyboardsDined on 9/6/2014I had a Saturday lunch at Volt. My menu choice was the tasting menu with wine pairing. I was seated in a lovely room with interesting art and a great view out the front window. I was indeed impressed. The quality of the service, food, and wine was what I might've expected in the evening. The service was at the level some of the NYC restaurants with Michelin stars I've dined in. My primary server was quite attentive and pro-active and indulged my foodie idiosyncracies including getting me a copy of that days menu with the wine pairings indicated. All of the other staff were quite effective and helpful as well. I highly recommend Volt to those looking for great food, great service and a lovely ambiance.Special Features:

- Amazing food and serviceIvorygirlVIPDined on 9/5/2014We made reservations for Volt for my birthday and upon confirmation, they asked if we wanted to sit at the Chef's Table 21 for the occasion. So happy that we did Table 21 as a huge birthday treat. This was our first time to the restaurant and the food was beyond delicious. The entire experience was just grand. It was wonderful just being catered to with descriptions of what we were about to enjoy in also a relaxed and fun setting by being able to watch the kitchen work and prepare these gems. Each little bite was beyond delicious, unique and wonderful. My husband enjoyed the wine pairings for the evening. We left full, happy, and ruined because we can't enjoy regular food anymore!Special Features:

- Terrific Anniversary DinnerblaqbernDined on 8/31/2014My wife and I ate here for our first wedding anniversary. We don't eat at this type of place often, but there were plenty of not-too-stuffy touches--all the servers wearing brown chuck taylors, savory rice krispy treat as a starter, jovial waitstaff--to make this a relaxed environment. Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty fancy place, but it doesn't take itself super seriously like some restaurants of this caliber might. The food was terrific. We had the tasting menu with the wine paring, and I have to say, it was a lot of food and a fair bit of wine. We ate lunch a little too late, and had to take some things home. It was pretty pricey, but we didn't feel any buyer's remorse. For a very special occasion, it was just a perfect choice.Special Features:
- ImpressivePalleDined on 8/31/2014The ambience is plain, however that is not why we go to a restaurant. The food, the presentation, the service were outstanding. The cold food is chilled to perfection, the hot food is perfectly tempered. The cheese plate with the three-course brunch was exceptional, totally impressive in the marriage of the flavors. All of the courses we had were excellent. Definitely a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love it!finallyskinnyDined on 8/31/2014Husband took me there for a birthday brunch. I have some dietary restrictions and the staff handled all of them with ease as everything is made to order. We did the wine paring for each of the courses; all excellent choices. Will definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelightfulRedSox2004Dined on 8/30/2014My sister was in town and had heard about Bryan and asked to go here for dinner. We did one of the Special Menus and it was absolutely phenomenal! The food was artfully presented and the descriptions by the servers was spot on. We also loved how they focused on using as many local ingredients as possible...a big plus for the both of us. It was a memorable night and the bonus was we got to watch the action in the kitchen. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BestDinaTheDinerDined on 8/30/2014Amazing awesome innovative food. Perfectly prepared. Impeccable service. Fun ambience.

- O-VER THE TOP A-MA-ZING!!TANYAVIPDined on 8/29/2014I had heard that this place was the hot ticket in Frederick, but my knowledge in no way prepared me for the dining experience I was about to have. I've lived in New York City and dined at some very nice places -- VOLT could compete with ANY of them (and probably blow some away!) The service was spotless, the cuisine artistic and incredibly flavorful. The staff is infinitely informed and patient, and will explain each dish to full satisfaction. Be sure to try the foie gras terrine (cold) and wrap up with the chef's version of peach cobbler. You'll be so fascinated with the presentation of the dishes, you have to make yourself remember that you need to savor the food on the plate. This is an art gallery experience tha tastes AMAZING!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Google's social network, Google+ is finally live.
A few key advantages over the current iteration of Facebook:
- Huddle - Group text chat
- Hangouts - Group video chat
- Sparks - Tips on what to share (kind of like Google Alerts made social)
- Circles - Better sharing controls than Facebook Groups
Excited to see how this develops. I've always been fascinated at how little the big players like Google and Apple "get" social. They certainly have all the right ingredients. Also, the website is an absolute must see. Wonderfully executed.

World Water Day 2013: Cooperation is key
On World Water Day, SG Anada Tiéga stresses the importance of protecting wetlands and why it must be done multilaterally at the High Level Forum and 2013 international celebration of World Water Day in The Hague.
|Mergus merganser, Léman Lake, Switzerland © Laura Máiz-Tomé
This year, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water. Water knows no borders, and many wetlands are international systems lying across the boundaries of two or more States, or are part of river basins that include more than one State. The health of these wetlands is dependent upon the quality and quantity of the transboundary water supply from rivers, streams, lakes, or underground aquifers. With 260 international river basins providing 60% of the world's freshwater flows, reinforcing the value of 'sharing' processes and improving skills in achieving this is essential.
Water cooperation creates economic benefits
Cooperation is key to address the "nexus" between water, food and energy, which is one of the most fundamental relationships - and increasing challenges - for society. It is time to recognise that global and local water cycles are strongly dependent on wetlands and the values of wetland ecosystem services are typically higher than for other ecosystem types. The Ramsar Convention works with many partners to identify opportunities for the management of all types of wetlands, including transboundary water resources. But to do so, all stakeholders need to realise the economic dangers of continued wetland loss and act upon them by integrating the values of water and wetlands into decision making processes. The recently launched report The Economics of Ecosystem and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Water and Wetlands lists the benefits derived from wetlands as well as losses faced from destroying them, acknowledging the need for 'measurement' of these values to help us manage wetlands better.
In his intervention in The Hague, SG Anada Tiéga presented the key conclusions and messages drawn from the TEEB report, based on tangible case studies demonstrating the economic and social values of water and wetlands. For example, the Volta River Basin's area (400,000 km2) includes six countries, but 85% is located in Burkina Faso and Ghana. Population increase and poverty in the area led to water scarcity, land degradation and siltation of river channels. Yet a project launched by the IUCN Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) in partnership with national partners led to the establishment of participatory and multi-scale (local, national, transboundary and regional) governance frameworks for joint management of water resources. For instance, awareness raising and training activities helped local communities to improve their farming techniques while the overall project showed the positive impact on poverty alleviation of integrated water resource management.
Given the increasing human population and its dependence on water and wetlands, it is urgent to fully recognise the values and benefits of nature. SG Tiéga ended his presentation by a call for cooperation between governments, business, NGOs, local communities and indigenous peoples to ensure the long-term sustainability of water and wetlands and start the transition to a resource-efficient economy.

Friday, May 31 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. – Promised Land (2012) Starring Matt Damon, John Krasinski, and Frances McDormand; Rated R; 106 minutes. Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
Steve Butler has been dispatched to the rural town of McKinley with his sales partner, Sue Thomason. The town has been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, and the two consummate sales executives see McKinley's citizens as likely to accept their company's offer – for drilling rights to their properties – as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job and a short stay for the duo becomes complicated – professionally by calls for community-wide consideration of the offer by respected schoolteacher Frank Yates and personally by Steve's encounter with Alice. When Dustin Noble, a slick environmental activist, arrives, suddenly the stakes, both personal and professional, rise to the boiling point.
"Damon's performance as corporate salesman Steve Butler is one of his best." -- Claudia Puig, USA Today
For more information, please watch the film's trailer. Check out our Friday Night Features in June.
Additional parking for evening and weekend Library programs available on Thorndal Circle (behind Nielsen's).

With Bill Clinton showing up late to the first panel of the day at the annual Clinton Global Initiative gathering in New York City, the Irish rock star, businessman, and global activist took his place, nailing an imitation of the former president.
"When I first met Bono, he walked into the Oval Office and I actually thought he was a member of his own road crew. He wasn't dressed right. Actually, I felt like the rock star on that occasion," Bono said, in a quality impersonation of the 42nd president of the United States.
The U2 front man kept the audience entertained for about a minute or two until Clinton made his way back to the stage. Clinton then joked that "I must be really easy to make fun of."
Bono, a leader in the philanthropic efforts to eradicate AIDS in Africa, praised CGI's efforts in the battle against the deadly disease.
