***The New Republic*** or ***New Republic Chinese Daily*** (Chinese: 新民國報; pinyin: *Xin Minguo Bao*; Wade–Giles: *Hsin minkuo pao*) was a Chinese language newspaper published first in Victoria and then in Vancouver, Canada possibly from 1912 to 1984. Most early issues of the newspaper were lost or were sporadically preserved in BC Archives (November 2, 1912 and Sept. 5, 1957 to June 23, 1984), Nanjing Library in China (the holding is: November 24, 1947 to October 31, 1948), and Library & Archives Canada (1957-1970).

## History

In the late 19th century, the Victoria Chinatown was one of the largest Chinese communities in North America. In 1899, Kang Youwei and his followers established the Chinese Empire Reform Association in Victoria and gained enormous financial and staff support from the local Chinese community. In August 1903, The Chinese Empire Reform Association published the *Chinese Reform Gazette* (日新報; 1903–1911) in Victoria. This may be the earliest Chinese newspaper in Canada.

Since then, various political groups from China contested for support from overseas Chinese populations, and newspapers were one of the best means to influence the local public. In January 1911, Sun Yet-sen came to Canada to raise funds for his anti-Qing uprisings in China. During this trip, he was warmly welcomed by the local Chinese communities especially the Chee Kong Tong (Later Chinese Freemasons). The Chee Kong Tong in Victoria mortgaged its building for $12,000. Adding the donations from Chee Kong Tong organizations in other Canadian cities and the local Chinese communities, Sun received about $40,000 from the Canadian Chinese community, which was the largest donation at the time. On April 27, the Second Guangzhou Uprising occurred in Guangzhou, China.

Possibly in 1911, Mr. Gao Yunshan (Chinese name: 高雲山; English name: Ko Bong) founded the New Republic newspaper in Victoria with his colleagues Li Tianmin (李天民; Walter Lee), Huang Bodu (黃伯度; Wong Bark Du). In 1912, the Kuomintang (KMT) or Chinese Nationalist Party was founded and the Canadian KMT branch reported to the San Francisco KMT headquarters. *The New Republic* became the Canadian KMT party's newspaper. The local key KMT members including Guan Baohua, Huang Bodu, Li Hanping, and Ma Jieduan (Chinese: 關寶華, 黃伯度, 李瀚屏, 馬傑端) were the earliest editors. Their written communication documents can be found at the Chinese KMT Archives at Taiwan. In 1915, Sun Yat-sen assigned Xia Chongmin (Chinese: 夏重民) to Canada. When Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy in China, following Sun Yat-sen's order, Xia Chongmin formed the overseas Chinese Volunteer Regiment (Chinese: 華僑義勇團) and the Airforce Team (Chinese: 航空隊) to join the anti-Yuan revolutionaries. The two regiments were made of over 110 trained volunteers from the overseas Chinese community members and their adult children who were born outside of China.

After the Second Revolution, the KMT was dissolved and Sun established the Chinese Revolutionary Party (中華革命黨 *Zhonghua geming dang*) in Japan in 1914. However, the English name of KMT “the Chinese National League” was still used in North America in order to fulfill its fundraising purposes.

From 1915 to 1918, frequent debates and controversies arose between *The New Republic* and *Tai Hon Kong Bo* (also known as *The Chinese Times*). The latter was a newspaper of Vancouver's Chinese Freemasons organization (Chinese: 致公堂). The argumentative articles reflect the contradictory political opinions about the future of China after the Revolution of 1911 (Chinese: 辛亥革命). *The New Republic* was frequently monitored by the Chief Press Censor of Canada. In 1916, The New Republic editor Li Gongwu (Chinese: 李公武) and other Chinese National League members attacked the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA, Chinese: 中華會館) officials. On September 1, 1918, a local Chinese Nationalist League member Wang Cang assassinated Tang Hualong (Chinese: 湯化龍). the former Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republican government, in Victoria's Chinatown. Not long after the assassination, the Chinese National League was banned by the Canadian government. However, *The New Republic* newspaper was not banned. In 1919, six KMT members including *The New Republic's* chief editor Chen Shuren (Chinese: 陳樹人) were arrested in Vancouver. The censorship of KMT party in Canada was ended in June 1919.

Since the Canadian Federal government introduced the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1923, the Chinese communities went through hardships, including the Depression in 1930s and the Sino-Japanese War. During the War, the families of many Canadian Chinese immigrants could not come to Canada and struggled to survive. After the war, Foon Sien Wong (Chinese: 黃文甫,) a UBC graduate who grew up at Cumberland, BC, worked as editorial staff of the *New Republic Chinese Daily*. In 1948, he became the president of CCBA in Vancouver, and for the following eleven years he lobbied the federal government to gradually equalize immigration rights for Chinese Canadians with their European counterparts.

In 1958, *The New Republic* moved from Victoria to Vancouver and continued publishing until 1984. The last chief editor was Mr. John Hsu (Chinese: 徐新漢), who also served as the chief editor of the *World Journal* from 1981 to 2002.

## Research value

*The New Republic* represents the perspective of the Kuomintang, one of the key players on the Chinese and Taiwan political stages over more than a century. As such, it is a valuable historical resource for any researcher interested in the influence of KMT on the overseas Chinese community in the past seventy years. *The New Republic* recorded not only the opinions and activities of Chinese Canadians in the key historical periods of the Republic China, the World Wars I and II, and Communist China, but also the history of local Chinese immigrant societies and their interactions with other ethnic groups in Canada.

***The Motel Life*** (2006) is the debut novel by musician and writer Willy Vlautin. It tells the story of two brothers from Reno, Nevada, whose lives are thrown into turmoil following a tragic accident. It was made into a movie starring Emile Hirsch, Stephen Dorff, and Dakota Fanning, and released in November 2013.

## Plot

Frank and Jerry Lee Flannigan are two down-and-out brothers who live a meager existence in Reno, Nevada. Both men are high school dropouts who live in cheap motel rooms, work at odd jobs for money, and drink heavily. One night, while driving drunk during a blizzard, Jerry Lee accidentally hits and kills a teenage boy on a bicycle. Although the accident is the boy's fault, there are no witnesses, and Jerry Lee is certain that the police will put the blame on him. He convinces Frank to leave town with him and flee to Montana. Along the way, Jerry Lee abandons Frank in Wyoming and then burns the car in a secluded Idaho forest. Both men return separately to Reno.

The police seem to take no interest in the case, so both men attempt to settle back into their Reno lives. Frank adopts an abused, half-frozen dog he finds during a snowstorm. Acting on a tip from a friend, he scrapes together $400 and bets it on the Tyson-Douglas boxing match, winning more than $5,000. He also tracks down the family of the dead teenager and stands outside their home, watching them come and go. Jerry Lee, meanwhile, becomes consumed by guilt and attempts suicide, shooting himself in the leg. He survives and lands in the hospital. On the day of the Tyson-Douglas fight, the police come to question Jerry Lee; they have discovered the burned-out wreck of his car in Idaho. Once again, Jerry Lee convinces Frank to flee Reno.

Frank uses his winnings to buy a used car. He leaves $1,000 at the home of the dead teenager, sneaks Jerry Lee out of the hospital, and heads to the town of Elko, Nevada, to hide from the police. Frank's ex-girlfriend Annie lives in Elko, and he secretly hopes to run into her. But Jerry Lee's wounds are far from healed and he quickly becomes very sick.

## Characters

* **Frank Flannigan** Protagonist and the novel's narrator. A gifted storyteller, he was once a promising baseball talent but dropped out of high school soon after the death of his mother. He drinks heavily and suffers from ulcers.
* **Jerry Lee Flannigan** Protagonist. Frank's older brother and a talented artist. As a teenager, he lost the lower half of one leg in a train accident. He is depressed and feels that he is a failure, feelings which are greatly magnified after he hits and kills the teenager.
* **Mrs. Flannigan** – Frank and Jerry Lee's mother. She dies from an unspecified disease when the boys are 16 and 14, respectively.
* **Jimmy Flannigan** – Frank and Jerry Lee's father. He suffers from a gambling addiction and eventually walks out on the family after rendering them penniless.
* **Earl Hurley** – A used-car dealer and Frank's ex-employer. He tries to mentor Frank, although it is often in vain.
* **Tommy Locowane** – Frank and Jerry Lee's long-time friend. He saves Jerry Lee's life after the train accident. He has a terrible gambling addiction and, in desperation, gets Frank to wager heavily on the Tyson-Douglas fight in an attempt to erase a $2,000 gambling debt.
* **Annie James** – Frank's old girlfriend. Annie's mother forces her into prostitution; when Frank catches Annie in the act, he breaks up with her. He later travels to Elko in the hopes of meeting her again.
* **Wes Johnson Denny** – A teenager who rides his bicycle into the path of Jerry Lee's car during a blinding snowstorm. He is killed in the ensuing collision.
* **Old Man Jenkins** (The dog) – Tango Hecklin

## Reception

"The Motel Life" received a favorable review from *New York Times* critic John Wray, who wrote: "Slighter than Carver, less puerile than Bukowski, Vlautin nevertheless manages to lay claim to the same bleary-eyed territory, and surprisingly – perhaps even unintentionally – to make it new.". Johnathan Gibbs of *The Independent* noted: "The brothers' relationship is at the centre of the book. Vlautin is clearly reaching back past Bukowski and the others to the granddaddy of all tragic road stories, that of Lenny and George in Of Mice and Men.".

## Adaptation

The novel was adapted into a film by Alan Polsky and Gabriel Polsky. It debuted in the United States on 8 November 2013 in select theatres.

title: The Nutmeg of Consolation

abstract: The Nutmeg of Consolation is the fourteenth historical novel in the Aubrey-Maturin series by British author Patrick O'Brian, first published in 1991. The story is set during the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. Building a schooner on an island in the South China Sea as food supplies grow scant, Aubrey and his shipmates are attacked by pirates then rescued by a Chinese ship large enough to hold them all as far as Batavia, where Raffles has a ship for them. Aubrey names the sweet-smelling ship from one of the sultan's many titles, Nutmeg of Consolation. They sail into the Celebes Sea, where battle commences. This novel constitutes the second of a five-novel circumnavigation of the globe; other novels in this voyage include The Thirteen Gun Salute, Clarissa Oakes/The Truelove, The Wine-Dark Sea, and The Commodore. Reviews written soon after publication were generally impressed with the main characters, drawn well, though opposite in abilities. The author's ability to put the reader in an era about 200 years ago was judged to be impressive and engrossing, "contemporary novels, written, paradoxically, in an 18th-Century voice", also that O'Brian created "a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit." Some feared that too much nautical detail will put off some readers, while others found that of small importance compared to the characters and how they are facing the world. The author's descriptions of the flora and fauna seen in Maturin's rambles received strong praise. All of the reviews noted the descriptions of the squalor and brutality of the penal colony at Botany Bay in that era. One reviewer said that Doctor Maturin was the more interesting of the two characters in this novel, for his botanising and his reactions to the changes of fortune and to insult. At least one reviewer gave his view of the fourteen novels as a whole, and on O'Brian's ability to break out of the nautical genre, to write excellent novels.

## Plot summary

Aubrey and his crew are shipwrecked on a remote island in the South China Sea after surviving the destruction of HMS *Diane* in a typhoon. A cricket match is underway between the sailors and marines, which keeps up the crew's spirits as they build the schooner needed for reaching Batavia. Doctor Maturin is killing game for the pot, particularly wild boar and babirussas. Dyaks, Kesegaran and her male assistants, arrive on the island. Speaking in Malay with Maturin, the Dyaks promise to take a message to Batavia in exchange for a note on Shao Yen for twenty "joes" (Portuguese Johannes coins), but instead return in a proa with 300 pirates, twice as many as the 150 Dianes. After beheading the ship's carpenter and some other crew members while stealing tools, they attack the encampment and burn the schooner. They are routed after a bloody conflict and all pirates lost as their proa is sunk by the last remaining ball from the "long nine" gun, well-aimed.

On the last day of rum and tobacco supplies, Maturin meets four Chinese children collecting precious birds' nests from the surrounding cliffs. Maturin binds the boy's injured leg. Maturin persuades the children's father, Li Po, to carry the remaining crew of the *Diane* in the empty holds of his roomy junk back to Batavia. It is intercepted by Wan Da, whom Maturin knows well from Pulo Prabang, and who shares information about the French frigate nearly ready to sail. Upon arriving in Batavia, Aubrey is provided by Governor Raffles with a 20-gun ship which Aubrey renames *Nutmeg of Consolation* after one of the titles of the Sultan of Pulo Prabang. At sea, Aubrey hears from a Dutch merchantman that the French frigate *Cornélie* is watering at an island, Nil Desperandum. Aubrey disguises the *Nutmeg* as a Dutch merchantman and, when the disguise fails, engages in battle with the *Cornélie*. Aubrey attempts to outwit the *Cornélie* in the Salibabu Passage but is outmanoeuvred and nearly outgunned until, at the height of the chase, *Nutmeg* encounters the *Surprise*, under Thomas Pullings, accompanied by the *Triton*, a British privateer. The *Surprise* gives chase, and the *Cornélie* soon founders. The *Surprise* takes the survivors, including Lieutenant Dumesnil, on board. Pullings has taken many prizes in the time they were parted, with two American privateers in convoy. The *Nutmeg* and its convoy sail back to Batavia, via Canton, under Lieutenant Fielding.

Resuming command of *Surprise*, Aubrey continues their interrupted journey to New South Wales. Stopping to collect fresh foods at Sweetings Island, Maturin rescues two young Melanesian girls, the sole survivors of an outbreak of smallpox. Sailing into Sydney Cove, Aubrey, Maturin and Martin are shocked at life in the penal colony under Governor Macquarie, no better than it was after the "Rum Rebellion". Maturin and Tom Pullings attend a formal dinner, hosted by Mrs Macquarie and the Governor's deputy, Colonel McPherson, at Government House. Captain Lowe insults Sir Joseph Banks and Maturin, and again insults Maturin outside the house; Maturin fights and wins a duel against Captain Lowe on the spot. Maturin learns by letter that Sir Joseph Blaine could not transfer Maturin's funds to Smith's failed bank, so his fortune is not lost.

Dr Redfern takes Maturin to see Padeen Colman, recovering in the hospital from his severe flogging for absconding from the penal colony. Maturin and Martin journey inland of Sydney to examine the local flora and fauna and collect specimens. On a second trip, they stay with Paulton north of Sydney near Bird Island, and find Padeen in better shape, assigned to work there as Maturin had arranged. The Irishman was convicted for stealing laudanum from an Edinburgh apothecary, meriting the punishment of transportation to this penal colony. Maturin tells Padeen to meet him at Bird Island on the day *Surprise* is to sail. This plan is checked by Aubrey, who promised to take no escaped prisoners, leaving Maturin in a quandary. Maturin hears from Hastings of the recently arrived *Waverley* that his wife Diana had a daughter in April, and he is overjoyed, but tells no one else his good news. Maturin and Martin, keen to see the duck-billed platypus, locally named the 'water-mole', are taken on a final expedition in the cutter by Barret Bonden. Maturin and Martin spot two platypuses. Maturin secures one - a male - in his net but his arm is pierced by its two poison-spurs. When the *Surprise* arrives to pick them up, Padeen is also taken aboard. To everyone's relief Maturin slowly regains consciousness after he is aboard.

## Series chronology

This novel references actual events with accurate historical detail, like all in this series. In respect to the internal chronology of the series, it is the eighth of eleven novels (beginning with *The Surgeon's Mate*) that might take five or six years to happen but are all pegged to an extended 1812, or as Patrick O'Brian says it, 1812a and 1812b (introduction to *The Far Side of the World*, the tenth novel in this series). The events of *The Yellow Admiral* again match up with the historical years of the Napoleonic wars in sequence, as the first six novels did.

## Reviews

Reviews written soon after publication were generally impressed with the main characters, drawn well, though opposite in abilities. The author's ability to put the reader in an era about 200 years ago was judged to be impressive and engrossing. Some feared that too much nautical detail will put off some readers, while another found that of small importance compared to the characters and how they are facing the world. At least one reviewer gave his view of the fourteen novels as a whole, as they are a newly discovered treasure. Publication in the US of novels in the series prior to this one was happening as *The Nutmeg of Consolation* was first printed in both the US and the UK; the series had found a new audience.

*Kirkus Reviews* found this novel to be "witty, literate and engaging", with the action following directly from the previous novel (*The Thirteen Gun Salute*). It was described as "Another in O'Brian's stylish epic series" and the bemused doctor was "as always, the tale's most interesting character and constantly preoccupied with flora, fauna, and good conversation".

*Publishers Weekly* judged that the "subtly drawn" characters of Maturin and Aubrey will please readers. The novel is rich with details and contrasts: "the chief joys are in the details of the food, drink and clothes of the era, with those of the rain forests, kangaroos and platypuses added here. On the other hand, early Sydney's squalor is matched by its brutality."

*Library Journal* found the main characters very well drawn, and noted the quality of the writing in the description of flora and fauna seen in the series of adventures in this novel. They noted that "O'Brian certainly knows his stuff about 19th-century seamanship (although landlubber readers may find themselves confused by some of the technical terminology)." and that the ship ends this novel "amidst the cruelty of Botany Bay, the penal colony in New South Wales."

A S Byatt had strong praise for this novel in her review of it. "An essential of the truly gripping book for the narrative addict is the creation of a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit, and O'Brian does with prodigal specificity and generosity." Dean King remarked the strength of her specific and positive review, when it was possible that a review for an author in his late seventies might suggest it was a nice try, but not keeping up to standard.

Mark Horowitz in the *Los Angeles Times* described the novels so far written as a long story of two characters, living at the dawn of the 19th century but in novels that are truly modern. His praise is strong, with comparisons to Conrad.

> How good can they really be? In England, after all, 19th-Century naval fiction--from the classic Horatio Hornblower stories by C. S. Forester to the waterlogged tales of Dudley Pope--is a tried and true, not to say tired, genre with limited appeal. But O'Brian's books are as atypical of conventional sea stories as Conrad's. Like John le Carre, he has erased the boundary separating a debased genre from "serious" fiction. O'Brian is a novelist, pure and simple, one of the best we have. . . . These are contemporary novels, written, paradoxically, in an 18th-Century voice. The Age of Reason is just making way for the Romantic era; Maturin and Aubrey, the philosophe and the man of action, are on the cusp. Without a hint of anachronism, O'Brian still manages to suggest a modern sensibility struggling to be born. (Once, Maturin even comes perilously close to discovering the subconscious a century in advance of Freud; another time, contemplating a peculiar animal specimen, he speculates on the origins of species and their evolution, but can't quite work out the details.)

> As to where it will all end, O'Brian's not saying. At least one more in the series is on the way. "Are endings really so very important?" asks a friend of Maturin's during a discussion of literature in, of all places, far-off Botany Bay. "Sterne did quite well without one. . . . I remember Bourville's definition of a novel as a work in which life flows in abundance, swirling without pause: or as you might say without an end, an organized end. And there is at least one Mozart quartet that stops without the slightest ceremony: most satisfying when you get used to it."

## Author's note

In his *Author's Note*, O'Brian makes reference to Robert Hughes' *The Fatal Shore*, a book that provided him with invaluable research information about the history of Australia and, in particular, the penal colony of New South Wales.

## Continuity

This story begins where *The Thirteen Gun Salute* ended, on the island with HMS *Diane* broken by the typhoon, building a new ship from what they can salvage. It makes reference to the last time that Aubrey and Maturin approached Botany Bay in *The Fortune of War*, after the situation with Captain William Bligh and the Rum Rebellion has been addressed. Their stop was short, as their mission was not needed and the place unbearable as to the human inhabitants.

## Publication history

The process of reissuing the novels prior to this novel and *The Letter of Marque* was in full swing in 1991, as the whole series gained a new and wider audience, as Mark Howowitz describes.

> Two of my favorite friends are fictitious characters; they live in more than a dozen volumes always near at hand. Their names are Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, and their creator is a 77-year-old novelist named Patrick O'Brian, whose 14 books about them have been continuously in print in England since the first, "Master and Commander," was published in 1970. O'Brian's British fans include T. J. Binyon, Iris Murdoch, A. S. Byatt, Timothy Mo and the late Mary Renault, but, until recently, this splendid saga of two serving officers in the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars was unavailable in this country, apart from the first few installments which went immediately out of print. Last year, however, W. W. Norton decided to reissue the series in its entirety, and so far nine of the 14 have appeared here, including the most recent chapter, *The Nutmeg of Consolation*.

# The Milkmaid's Lot

"**The Milkmaid's Lot**" is the ninth episode of the third season of the American period crime drama television series *Boardwalk Empire*. It is the 33rd overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Rolin Jones, and directed by Ed Bianchi. It was released on HBO on November 11, 2012.

The series is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era of the 1920s. The series follows Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, a political figure who rises to prominence and interacts with mobsters, politicians, government agents, and the common folk who look up to him.

The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and character development, while the pacing received criticism.

## Plot

Nucky recovers at the Ritz Carlton from the bombing. Due to his proximity to the explosion, he now suffers tinnitus and struggles in differentiating reality from hallucination. Margaret is forced to relocate Emily's birthday to the Ritz, much to her chagrin.

Gyp brutally assaults Sheriff Ramsey for his failure in Tabor Heights. He later tells the citizens that they will each be paid $200 monthly for their services, effectively putting them on his payroll. He later calls Nucky to mock him about Billie's death, causing an angry Nucky to have a mental breakdown at his office. He tells Eli and Owen that he wants the cooperation of their associates to kill both Gyp and Joe Masseria. They inform him that the men will not support Nucky with his condition, with Torrio refusing to be part of his plans.

George Remus is arrested by Treasury agents in Cincinnati. When confronted by Randolph, he seeks a pardon through giving information about Jess Smith, who is in Daugherty's pocket. Richard continues seeing Julia, and both go dancing at an American Legion meeting, where she kisses him. Due to Richard’s absence, Tommy spends the day with one of Gillian's workers. While looking for her, Tommy sees her having sex with a man in a room. When Richard returns to the Artemis Club, Gillian scolds him for prioritizing his life over Tommy's life.

Nucky finds an earring in the bathroom and gives it to Margaret. However, Margaret does not recognize it, as it actually belonged to Billie. He eventually accepts that her death is his fault. During the meeting with his associates, Nucky proposes going to war to kill Gyp and Masseria. However, Rothstein reveals that the associates all discussed the situation already, and they concluded they do not want to face Masseria. They wish him good luck with his plans, leaving Nucky to carry it out all by himself. In Tabor Heights, the citizens prepare a liquor shipment, under Gyp's supervision.

## Production

### Development

The episode was written by co-executive producer Rolin Jones, and directed by Ed Bianchi. This was Jones' first writing credit, and Bianchi's third directing credit.

## Reception

### Viewers

In its original American broadcast, "The Milkmaid's Lot" was seen by an estimated 2.06 million household viewers with a 0.7 in the 18-49 demographics. This means that 0.7 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode. This was a slight decrease in viewership from the previous episode, which was watched by 2.09 million household viewers with a 0.7 in the 18-49 demographics.

### Critical reviews

"The Milkmaid's Lot" received generally positive reviews from critics. Matt Fowler of *IGN* gave the episode a "good" 7.7 out of 10 and wrote, "Overall, this episode felt like a ton of set up for more exciting things to come, all while having the final members of Nucky's family and friends move closer to abandoning him completely."

Noel Murray of *The A.V. Club* gave the episode an "A–" grade and wrote, "When Nucky dreams or hallucinates, he tends to say and see things that speak to his circumstances in ways that are, well, a little on the nose. But I'm going to continue to refrain from leveling that particular criticism at 'The Milkmaid's Lot,' and not just because I think the phrase is played-out. I'm also holding back, because even though Nucky's severe confusion leads to him spilling his guts literally and figuratively, and the whole 'unfiltered Nucky' element in 'The Milkmaid's Lot' also provokes one intense, nerve-wrackingly dramatic scene after another."

Alan Sepinwall of *HitFix* wrote, "Nucky Thompson is a man who craves respect, but he needs love, too, and he's put himself in a position this season where both are in short supply." Seth Colter Walls of *Vulture* gave the episode a 3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Gyp's outsized sense of himself is both foolhardy and interesting. And the type of intellectual insecurity he exhibits is not something that *Boardwalk Empire* has typically rewarded. Last season, the intellectually defensive one was Eli; look how that turned out for him. Nucky, once he regains his health, will still be smarter than Gyp, even if he doesn't have the muscle of his fair-weather friends. Resolving that tension should prove more exciting than the scattered portions of this episode."

Edward Davis of *IndieWire* wrote, "Livid, Nucky can do nothing, but accept their decision, but he's now put his cards on the table — Masseria knows his intentions — and is left holding his dick, essentially." Chris O'Hara of *TV Fanatic* gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "We certainly have not seen the last of the Manhattan boys or the Chi-town twosome of Torrio and Capone. For now, though, it seems the stage is set for a one on one grudge match by the sea."

Michael Noble of *Den of Geek* wrote, "It was handled superbly, both in terms of Steve Buscemi's performance and it being placed in the context of the episode's key plot movements. The slipping between realities was dizzying to watch, funny and tragic at turns. The confusion was held together wonderfully by Buscemi, who managed to convey menace and pathos in the right amounts." Michelle Rafferty of *Paste* gave the episode a 8 out of 10 and wrote, "This season has been chock-full of gobsmacking conclusions. Gyp sets a person on fire. Gillian draws a deadly bath. The Boardwalk explodes. Bobby Cannavale bares all, internet swoons, etc. True to form, last night's denouement delivered a shocker, but this time of the less graphic variety: Nucky tells his wife the truth. And it only took losing his wits to get him there."

# Pine Mountain Regional Library System

The **Pine Mountain Regional Library System** is a group of seven public libraries that serve Meriwether, Upson, Talbot, and Taylor counties in Georgia, United States. The library regional headquarters is located in Manchester, Georgia.

Pine Mountain Library is a member of PINES, a program of the Georgia Public Library Service that covers 53 library systems in 143 counties of Georgia. Any resident in a PINES supported library system has access to the system's collection of 10.6 million books.

This program offers residents in supported libraries access to over 100 databases indexing thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals. It also boasts over 10,000 journal titles in full text.

## History

The first library in the region was started in 1938 in Manchester, Georgia, and was sponsored by both the Woman's Club of Manchester as well as the city. Initially this library was located at the police station and housed 100 volumes that were borrowed from the state of Georgia.

In Meriwether County, the first library was chartered in 1950. The following year neighboring counties Talbot and Upson agreed to add their collections to the growing collection of Meriwether, and thus formed a regional library system. With the addition of Taylor County in 1958 the name of the library was changed to its present form.

In 1972 a need for new buildings arose and three new libraries were constructed in Butler, Talbotton, and Greenville. By the next year another library branch opened in Thomaston. This branch moved in 1980 and was rededicated as the Hightower Memorial Library.

In 1994 the Butler and Greenville libraries each received their own new buildings. The headquarters library, which was previously moved to the basement of the county community building, received a renovation and enlargement of its own in 1995. The newest library finished construction in 2002 in Yatesville.

# Pinjarra, Western Australia

**Pinjarra** is a town in the Peel region of Western Australia along the South Western Highway, 82 kilometres (51 mi) from the state capital, Perth and 21 kilometres (13 mi) south-east of the coastal city of Mandurah. Its local government area is the Shire of Murray. At the 2016 census, Pinjarra had a population of 4910.

Pinjarra is an area rich in history, and is the home town of a former State Premier - Sir Ross McLarty. It is near the site of the Pinjarra massacre, where between 14 and 80 Noongar people were killed by British colonists in 1834.

## History

The name was often shown spelt "Pinjarrup" on early maps, while the accepted spelling for many years was "Pinjarrah". There are conflicting theories regarding the meaning of the name, and it is usually said to mean "place of a swamp", as a corruption of the Aboriginal word "beenjarrup". However, Pinjarra is more likely to have been named after the Pindjarup people who frequented the area.

Pinjarra is one of the earliest European settlements to occur in Western Australia; one of the first settlers in the area was Thomas Peel, who established a settlement at the mouth of the Murray River in 1830. In 1831, land was reserved for a townsite near a ford over the river. By 1834, word had spread about the rich loamy soils and pastures, bringing more Europeans to the area. In 1834, at the insistence of Thomas Peel, a group was organised and led by Governor James Stirling to do something about the Aboriginal people; this group attacked the village consisting of over 20 mia-mias just after dawn. They approached from both sides of the river, which forced the people into the river where they caught the victims, mostly women and children, in a crossfire. Many bodies were left to float downstream. Official reports referred to it as a battle, and it was only over 150 years later that it was recognised as one of many colonial massacres in Australia. Surveys were carried out in 1836 and land allocated to settlers in 1837.

By early 1898, the population of the town was 400, 300 males and 100 females.

A British child migration scheme run by Kingsley Fairbridge established a farm school in the area in the early 1900s. Hundreds of orphaned children were educated at Fairbridge Farm between 1913 and 1981. Fairbridge Chapel was built at Pinjarra, in 1924 to Herbert Baker's design.

The author Kenneth (Seaforth) McKenzie grew up in Pinjarra, and parts of his experiences as a child living near the Murray River are found in his first novel *The Young Desire It*.

In 1974, an alumina refinery was established by Alcoa Australia Ltd, causing a boost in the population of Pinjarra and nearby Mandurah. Pinjarra is also the site of the world's largest bauxite mine.

## Facilities

Pinjarra contains Pinjarra Primary School, Pinjarra Senior High School, and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.

Pinjarra is the operating base for the Hotham Valley Tourist Railway. Peel Zoo, known for its bird wildlife, is situated near Pinjarra.

Pinjarra contains one shopping centre, Pinjarra Junction, which opened in 2008.

## Future and growth

Because of its close proximity to Mandurah and recent infrastructure and amenities investments, Pinjarra's population is likely to increase significantly through new subdivisions surrounding the original town-site. Armadale Railway Line also planning to extend till Byford in first phase and till Pinjarra in second phase.

## Sport

Pinjarra is home to both Thoroughbred Horse Racing and Harness Racing at Pinjarra Park and Pinjarra Paceway, respectively, under the authority of Racing and Wagering Western Australia. The feature race events held at these venues are the Pinjarra Cups, held in April and March of each year at the respective venues. Pinjarra and the Peel Region is also one of the major centres for WA Racing, with a number of trainers and breeders established in the region.

## Transport

Pinjarra station is located on the South Western Railway and served by Transwa's twice daily *Australind* service from Perth to Bunbury. In September 2012 a Transperth bus service was inaugurated between Murray Hospital in southern Pinjarra and Mandurah railway station, via Mandurah Forum on Pinjarra Road, and Pinjarra town centre.

Pinjarra is also on the South Western Highway between Armadale and Bunbury, something which has both helped and hindered the town. Traffic through the town during holiday seasons has been known to stretch for kilometres north or south. As a result, there have been calls for the construction of a road bypass of the town.

# Pink Triangle (audio manufacturer)

**Pink Triangle Products** Ltd was a British audio manufacturer specialising in high end turntables.

It was founded in London in 1979 by Neal Jackson and Arthur Khoubesserian. Jackson chose the name 'Pink Triangle' after the symbol used to identify homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps (both Jackson and Khoubesserian are gay).

Initial manufacturing took place on an industrial estate in Maidstone Road, Sidcup, Kent, and later at Lomond Grove, Camberwell, London. The company closed in 2003.

Industry magazines are saying Pink Triangle are launching a new turntable at the 2023 Bristol HiFi show.

## History

### Phonograph turntables

Very few of the company's first product, referred to as the Pink Triangle Original turntable, were produced. This product and some of the later models included some then very innovative design features. It had an 'aerolam' (a very light and stiff aluminium honeycomb structure developed for and first used by the aircraft industry) sub-chassis that rigidly coupled the platter/bearing assembly with the tone-arm while being low in mass, for low storage of vibrational energy. The wooden plinth was topped with a 3 part mirror glass plate that covered an aluminium frame providing mounting points for the suspension and DC motor. The suspension was unusual in that the subchassis hung from three extension springs rather than sitting on compression springs; a more stable arrangement.

A mains socket mounted transformer/rectifier provided 9V DC to the speed controller board, which used tachometer feedback from the DC motor to regulate its speed. A small brass pulley drove the platter assembly using a flat rubber belt wrapped around a recessed face machined into the underside of the one-piece acrylic platter, another unconventional material chosen for its vibration dissipation qualities. The thrust element of the bearing was formed by a tungsten carbide sphere mounted in the bearing spindle pressing against a synthetic ruby cup in top of the aluminium support sleeve for the platter. The bearing was positioned close to the centre of gravity of the platter with side load being carried by a lower PTFE sleeve against the bearing spindle.

The next product, referred to as the PT1, is often mistakenly assumed to be their first product. The PT1 was an easier to manufacture version of the 'Original' having the glass top plate replaced by a black painted steel plate. Later versions of the PT1 moved the motor from its original 'one o'clock' position to 'seven o'clock', on the opposite side of the spindle to the tonearm to mounted it on the top plate. This turntable was in production from 1979 until 1985.

The PT1 was superseded by the PT TOO, which was also available as a manufacturer upgrade to the PT1, and featured a synchronous AC motor with an external power supply. Their next product was denoted as the Little Pink Thing (LPT), and was designed as their entry-level turntable, based on design principles taken from the PT TOO. Another lower-cost version of the PT-TOO, called the Export, also with the power supply moved into the plinth was released in the late 1980s. The PT TOO was replaced by the PT Anniversary, with much higher build quality, and returned to a glass top plate and a DC motor mounted on a new composite subchassis, along with a new external power supply, some of which featured a rechargeable battery power source topped-up from the mains supply.

The last Pink Triangle turntable produced was the Tarantella. A complete stylistic departure from the earlier models, its chassis was a triangle of clear acrylic, with three metal spikes supporting it. DC motor and tonearm were mounted on metal outriggers, and the belt drove the periphery of the acrylic platter.

Pink Triangle turntables were highly praised by the audio press and sold in significant quantities. However, they were never as commercially successful as the similarly priced Linn Sondek LP12 they competed with.

### Other products

In later years the company also manufactured amplifiers, digital-analogue converters, and Compact Disc transports, however they did not sell in sufficient numbers to offset their manufacturing and research expenses.

## Successors

One of Pink Triangle's founders, Arthur Khoubesserian, founded The Funk Firm in 2005. It produces a range of turntables based on the Pink Triangle philosophy of lightweight, rigid structures with DC motors. A notable innovation common to most of the range is the symmetrical arrangement of motor pulley and two idler pulleys around the subplatter, which eliminates the unbalanced side-load of the belt tension on the platter. The Funk Firm modifications, ironically, became best known for their improvements to the Linn Sondek LP12, Pink Triangle's largest competitor.

# Pimpadelic

**Pimpadelic** was a Fort Worth, Texas–based rock band.

## History

Pimpadelic was founded in 1992 in Fort Worth, Texas by vocalist Donnie Franks (aka "Easy Jesus") and drummer Charles Winchell (aka "Madison"), both of whom had grown up in the nearby town of Blue Mound. The band's lineup changed multiple times over the next four years before eventually stabilizing as Sean "D.J.-M.I.A." Baker, Brandon Kord "Dirty K" Murphy (vocalist), and E.J. "Cha-Chi R.Cola" Cernosek Jr (bass). Their debut album, *Barely Legal*, was released on the local label Crystal Clear Sound in 1996, followed by *Statutory Rap* on the same label in 1998.

In April 2000, their third studio album and major-label debut, *Southern Devils*, was released by Tommy Boy Records, after previously having been released locally. The band promoted the album by posing in fur suits and fedoras. Soon after the album's release, Murphy violated the terms of his probation (he had previously pleaded guilty to a second-degree felony charge for his role in a robbery in 1996). This prompted the band to announce that they were looking for a replacement for him for their upcoming tour, where they performed with the Kottonmouth Kings and Corporate Avenger. Murphy subsequently left the band. In 2002, it was reported that Pimpadelic had been dropped from Tommy Boy's roster; Zac Crain of the *Dallas Observer* wrote that "From the looks of it, it's a you're-fired-no-screw-you-I-quit situation, though it's unclear who decided to walk out first." Crain also reported that Pimpadelic was still working on their next album and talking to other labels about releasing it.

Murphy was found dead in a rehearsal space in 2011. Also that year, the band released a new album entitled *Drink! Drugs! Sex!*, which Anthony Mariani of *Fort Worth Weekly* described as "...a widget from an assembly line manned grudgingly by David Allan Coe, GG Allin’s ghost, and Mötley Crüe (yes, the whole band)." It was followed by the 2015 double album *Greatest Tits*.

## Critical reception

*Southern Devils* received an unfavorable review from *Orlando Weekly*, which described the band's style as "...Southern rock that doesn't boogie, metal that wouldn't scare an 'N Sync fan, and witless, flowless rhyme schemes that make Bloodhound Gang sound like the Wu-Tang Clan." Robert Christgau also reviewed the album unfavorably, giving it a D+ grade and describing the band as "been-and-gone scumbags". Multiple critics compared the album's sound unfavorably to that of Kid Rock's music. *The Austin Chronicle*'s Christopher Gray was more favorable in his review of the album, giving it 3 stars (out of 4) and writing that the band's "...constant t&a references, plus allusions to such savory subjects as gonorrhea, crystal meth, and the Trenchcoat Mafia, would probably be best appreciated by those who can't get enough of *Dolemite* and the Diceman's comic stylings."
