# Revolution (book)

***Revolution*** (stylised **RƎVO⅃UTION**, with "love" spelled backwards) is a 2014 non-fiction book written by the British comedian, actor and political activist Russell Brand. In it, Brand advocates a non-violent social revolution based on principles of spirituality and the common good. Critical response to the book was divided. While some reviewers praised its "charm" and Brand's "distinctive" voice, others complained about a lack of style and substance.

## Context

Russell Brand had been well known for some years as a comedian and actor: he had performed stand-up at the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2000, and took his one-man show, the confessional Better Now, to the Edinburgh Festival in 2004; after various roles on British TV, he had gained critical acclaim for his starring role in *Forgetting Sarah Marshall* in 2008 and had regular roles in Hollywood comedies thereafter. He had also hosted a variety of radio shows (though had been forced to resign from the BBC after a scandal over prank phone calls) and published a memoir, *My Booky Wook*, and its sequel, *Booky Wook 2*.

But increasingly he had also become known for his political views and activism: in 2009, for instance, he attended the G-20 London summit protests, and in 2012 he testified to a parliamentary committee about drug addiction.

In October, 2013, Brand was offered a stint as the guest editor of an issue of the *New Statesman*, which he chose to dedicate to the topic of "revolution." As he wrote in the issue's editorial, "Imagining the overthrow of the current political system is the only way I can be enthused about politics." That same week, Brand was interviewed by Jeremy Paxman on BBC Two's current-affairs programme, *Newsnight*. Paxman posed to Brand the problem: "How, may I ask, is this revolution going to come about?" The book *Revolution*, then, is presented as an extended response to that question.

## Synopsis

*Revolution* draws on Brand's own experiences and observations both as someone who has experienced considerable social mobility in his life—from a working class upbringing with a single mother in Grays, Essex, to Hollywood fame and fortune—and as a former drug addict who has found solace in twelve-step movements and in spirituality. "Change is something I'm good at," Brand claims. It also draws on a range of counter-cultural authors such as Noam Chomsky, David Graeber, and Helena Norberg-Hodge, as well as on historical events from the Spanish Revolution of 1936 to Che Guevara's reflections on the Cuban Revolution of 1959, and contemporary practices such as participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre or direct democracy in Switzerland.

The book argues that contemporary capitalism is manifestly unequal and unfair, to the detriment of society's winners as much as to its many victims. It also claims that contemporary democracy is a sham, and so conventional politics will never bring about real change: "That is why I do not vote; that is why I will never vote." Instead, Brand advocates a social revolution based on two principles: "1) nonviolence, and 2) the radical improvement of the quality of life for ordinary people." It proposes a society of "self-governing, fully autonomous, ecologically responsible, egalitarian communities."

## Reception

*Revolution* was criticised by reviewers for its lack of substance and style of writing. The writing was described as "atrocious: long-winded, confused and smug; filled with references to books Brand has half read and thinkers he has half understood" by Nick Cohen in *The Observer*. Robert Colville in *The Daily Telegraph* wrote that although "he comes across as palpably sincere in his convictions," Brand "has not even the faintest fragment of an inkling of how his Revolution will come about" and "\[a\]s for how things would work afterwards, don’t ask." Colville called the book "sub-undergraduate dross".

*The Atlantic* magazine wrote "*Revolution* preaches but doesn't practice. There's a reason Brand’s most recent standup show is called 'Messiah Complex.' He has the zeal of the missionary and the charisma of the cult leader, along with a newfound commitment to imposing his vision upon society through deliberately undemocratic means. If he ever figures out how to communicate that vision in a less abstract and imperious way he could indeed change the world, although for better or for worse is anyone’s guess."

In 1983, Kilduff rejoined U2 for their promotional tour of the album *War*. In 2009, the U2 song "Tomorrow" with Kilduff playing the uilleann pipes was featured in *It Might Get Loud*, the Davis Guggenheim documentary on the electric guitar from the point of view of Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White.

title: The Phoenix (CKY album)

abstract: The Phoenix is the fifth studio album by American rock band CKY, released on June 16, 2017. It was the band's first album in eight years following Carver City (2009), marking the longest gap between two CKY albums.

Recorded primarily at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, it was produced by Ginsburg as the group's first album on Entertainment One Music. Following Miller's departure in 2011, CKY performed a number of shows in 2012 with new frontman Daniel Davies. The new lineup recorded a number of tracks for a planned album, but other commitments saw Davies leave the group and Ginsburg take over as lead vocalist. Deis rejoined the band in 2015, before the new-look trio recorded The Phoenix in 2016. "Days of Self Destruction", "Replaceable" and "Head for a Breakdown" were issued as singles prior to the album. Clocking in at 30 minutes, The Phoenix is CKY's shortest album to date.

# The Phoenix (CKY album)

***The Phoenix*** is the fifth studio album by American rock band CKY, released on June 16, 2017. It was the band's first album in eight years following *Carver City* (2009), marking the longest gap between two CKY albums. It is also the first album to feature guitarist Chad I Ginsburg providing lead vocals following the departure of Deron Miller, and the last album to feature bassist Matt Deis before his departure in 2019. Recorded primarily at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, it was produced by Ginsburg as the group's first album on Entertainment One Music.

Following Miller's departure in 2011, CKY performed a number of shows in 2012 with new frontman Daniel Davies. The new lineup recorded a number of tracks for a planned album, but other commitments saw Davies leave the group and Ginsburg take over as lead vocalist. Deis rejoined the band in 2015, before the new-look trio recorded *The Phoenix* in 2016. "Days of Self Destruction", "Replaceable" and "Head for a Breakdown" were issued as singles prior to the album. Clocking in at 30 minutes, *The Phoenix* is CKY's shortest album to date.

## Recording and production

Following the departure of original CKY frontman Deron Miller in 2011, the band began working on an album with his replacement Daniel Davies. However, due to other commitments (primarily a tour with John Carpenter) the material was scrapped and the band started again with guitarist Chad I Ginsburg on lead vocals. Speaking with *Jackass* crew member Rick Kosick in March 2017, CKY drummer Jess Margera noted that the band considered putting "one or two" of the songs written with Davies on the album, but then decided to start over after his departure. Referring to the tracks, Margera suggested that "Maybe one day we can revisit some of that stuff and give it a different name, because it was killer material in my opinion. Never say never." The drummer reflected on the situation positively, suggesting that it "couldn't have worked out any better, because it sort of forced Chad to step up to the vocal mic, which is where that guy needs to be".

It was first revealed that CKY was recording new material in January 2016, when Margera posted a photo of Abbey Road Studios in London, England, on his Instagram account with the caption "Me Chad and Matt Deis. Recording some new CKY next month. Abbey fucking Road. That is all." When asked by a fan in the comments about who would be performing lead vocals since Miller's departure, the drummer confirmed that Ginsburg would be taking over the role. No further updates were provided on the planned sessions, and in May it was announced that CKY would be recording at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, in July for a planned release before the end of the year. The announcement also confirmed that Ginsburg was the band's new lead vocalist. Ginsburg produced the album and later mixed it at Studio 4 Recording in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, where previous album *Carver City* had been mixed in 2009 with Phil Nicolo.

## Composition and lyrics

CKY frontman Chad I Ginsburg describes *The Phoenix* as a stylistic follow-up to the band's 2002 second studio album *Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild*. Speaking to Canadian newspaper *The Seeker*, he claimed that the album "picks up where, *Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild* ... left off", hailing it as the band's "crowning achievement". In a feature for *Alternative Press* upon the release of the album's lead single "Days of Self Destruction", Ginsburg went as far as to suggest that fans could "ignore the other two records" after the 2002 release, 2005's *An Answer Can Be Found* and 2009's *Carver City*, dubbing *The Phoenix* the direct follow-up to *Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild*.

## Promotion and release

In March 2017, it was announced that CKY had signed a worldwide record deal with Entertainment One Music, with the band's first album on the label scheduled for a summer release. On April 30, 2017, on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter, the album was officially announced and "Days of Self Destruction", featuring Brent Hinds of Mastodon, was premiered as the first single. The track was released as a digital download the following day, along with a music video filmed during the album's recording sessions at Rancho De La Luna. "Replaceable" was debuted as the second single from the album on the *Loudwire* website on June 2, 2017. Speaking about the track, Ginsburg described it as being "generally about anyone that gets in your way, holds you back or slows your potential with their own blatant insecurity, fears or sickness — individuals who you are ultimately and knowingly covering for as they selfishly sabotage you". Four days before the album's release, "Head for a Breakdown" was made available for streaming on the Consequence of Sound website. Ginsburg described the track as "a song about taking things too far when you darn right know it won't end well but you do it anyway".

Reviewing the album for *Alternative Press*, Aaron Burgess praised frontman Chad I Ginsburg's performance as lead vocalist on *The Phoenix*, noting that he "slides perfectly into the singer role, spitting venom through *The Phoenix*'s 10 kiss-off anthems", and highlighted the track "Wiping Off the Dead". Burgess welcomed the return of "The inimitably fuzzed-out CKY guitar tone remains \[and\] the roller-disco grooves", but suggested that "the vibe feels more traditionally hard-rock than tradition-shattering", which he dubbed as "not quite CKY as usual". AllMusic's James Christopher Monger proposed that *The Phoenix* features "a sleek and sordid set of swaggering disco-post-grunge emissions that fall well within the established CKY sonic parameters", highlighting the tracks "Replaceable", "Unknown Enemy" and "Better Than Get Even". Blabbermouth.net's Ray Van Horn, Jr. hailed the album as a progression from *Carver City*, praising it for "entertaining instead of challenging fans".

# Parachutes (song)

"**Parachutes**" is a single by English singer-songwriter Charlie Simpson, from his debut studio album *Young Pilgrim* (2011). It was released on 5 August 2011 as a digital download in the United Kingdom. The song peaked to number 44 on the UK Singles Chart, his highest charting single to date.

## Background

In an interview with Digital Spy he was asked to describe the song, he said:

> "It's one of the more instrument-heavy songs on the record – I wanted to strike a balance between the acoustic nature and more upbeat instruments. It's also the first track I've ever written with a piano, so it's a good contrast to other songs on the album."

## Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Parachutes" was first released on YouTube on 8 June 2011 at a length of three minutes and thirty-four seconds.

## Live performances

Charlie Simpson performed the song Live on OK! TV. Simpson performed the song in the Live Lounge live from Boardmasters in Newquay for Fearne Cotton and BBC Radio 1. He also performed the song live at Xfm in Manchester.

## Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

> "It's a far cry from his tween-pop days of drooling over high school teachers and perky air hostesses – instead focusing on his newfound independence. Something tells us the 'Year 3000' reunion tour is long way off yet.

# Herschel K. Mitchell

**Herschel Kenworthy Mitchell** (November 27, 1913 – April 1, 2000) was an American professor of biochemistry who spent most of his career on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology. He was one of many researchers interested in vitamin B6 in the early 1940s and is credited as one of the discoverers of folic acid. He later focused his research on *Drosophila* (fruit flies), in particular the genetics and biochemistry of the heat shock response.

## Early life and education

Mitchell was born on November 27, 1913, in Los Nietos, California. He received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Pomona College in 1936, a master's degree from Oregon State College in 1938, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1941, where he worked with Roger J. Williams and Esmond Emerson Snell in their work on vitamin B6 and folic acid. He is recognized as a co-discoverer of folic acid, which the three scientists extracted from four tons of processed spinach.

In 1943 Mitchell moved from Texas to Stanford University to work as a research associate with George Beadle, who at the time was studying the genetics of metabolism in *Neurospora* (a fungus that served as a model organism). When Beadle moved his research group from Stanford to Caltech in 1946, Mitchell moved with him, along with other research fellows such as Norman Horowitz. Trained as a chemist, Mitchell used this experience to learn about molecular genetics, which he would apply to other model organisms in his future research.

## Academic career

Mitchell began his independent research career with an appointment as an associate professor of biology at Caltech in 1949 and advanced to full professor in 1953. His early research continued to focus on the genetics of *Neurospora*, including the first biochemical demonstration of a missing enzyme (tryptophan synthase) from a metabolically deficient *Neurospora* mutant. This finding was an essential step in establishing the central idea that genes control metabolism by producing (in a manner not then understood) the enzymes required for specific metabolic reactions. This idea came to be known as the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis, and later the one-gene-one-polypeptide hypothesis.

He subsequently worked on the genetics of *Drosophila* (fruit flies), a widely known model organism for studying genetics and development. Using fruit flies as models, he made major discoveries in understanding the heat shock response and has been described as a "founding father" of the heat shock field.

With research fellow Robert P. Wagner, Mitchell coauthored a textbook called *Genetics and Metabolism* in the 1950s. It was reviewed as an important guide to the then-emerging synergy between the two fields.

Mitchell retired from Caltech in 1984, assuming professor emeritus status.

## Personal life

Mitchell was an enthusiastic athlete who brought his hobby to Caltech, establishing a recreational athletic league for graduate students and managing the Caltech teams, which included students and faculty from a variety of departments, for 25 years. He was also a self-taught glassblower who used his skills to make chemistry laboratory equipment and for a time supported his family by working in a glassblowing shop.

Mitchell had a debilitating stroke in 1990, and recovered his speech but continued to have physical difficulties and used a wheelchair thereafter. He died on April 1, 2000, following a second stroke.

# Hidden Treasure (horse)

**Hidden Treasure** (foaled 1957 in Ontario) is a Canadian Champion Thoroughbred racehorse who was voted Horse of the Year in 1961.

## Background

Hidden Treasure was a bay horse and raced by prominent horseman, Bill Beasley. He was sired by the 1953 Kentucky Derby winner, Dark Star. His dam was Ratine, a daughter of the undefeated 1935 English Triple Crown winner, Bahram. He was trained by Robert Bateman.

## Racing career

Hidden Treasure won the 1959 Display, Carleton and Summer Stakes and ran second to Victoria Park in the two most important races for Canadian two-year-olds, the Cup and Suaucer and Coronation Futurity Stakes. As a three-year-old, Hidden Treasure won a number of important races but after stepping on a nail, ran fifth in the 1960 Queen's Plate before winning the Breeders' Stakes. Following a year in which Hidden Treasure's wins included the 1961 Durham Cup, Canadian Maturity, Connaught Cup and Jacques Cartier Stakes, the then four-year-old was voted Canadian Horse of the Year honours. At five, Hidden Treasure won the 1962 Fort Erie Handicap while setting a new Fort Erie Racetrack track record for 6.5 furlongs and at age six won the Canadian Handicap.

## Stud record

Retired to stud duty, Hidden Treasure sired a limited number of horses in a short career. Through his daughter Fiddly Dee he is the damsire of Fiddle Dancer Boy, winner of the 1981 Queen's Plate.

# Vinnie Murphy

**Vincent 'Vinnie' Murphy** is a former Gaelic footballer and media personality who played at senior level for the Dublin county team.

## Playing career

Murphy came on as a substitute in Dublin's 1995 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship victory over Tyrone. He made his debut for Dublin in 1988 while still in the Minor ranks, He won an All Star for his performances with Dublin in 1992 and won two National Football League division one titles in 1991 and 1993. He also won five Leinster senior medals in 1989 and 1992–94. His ability to win ball was unprecedented for a man under 6 ft tall, the timing of his spring and ability to hang in the air was well noted. In the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final he was triple marked because of his aerial threat by the fullback and two midfielders; however he still won 19 possessions in a game where his man (that year's All Star number 3) never kicked the ball during the game and only touched the ball three times. In his latter years when he came on the pitch for Dublin as a super sub, he had a ceremonious jog onto the pitch, much like an unstoppable rhino, he'd send his opposite number tumbling with a shoulder clash. He played with Trinity Gaels of Donaghmede throughout his career with Dublin, He left for them for work purposes to live in Kerry, where he lined out for the Kerins O Rahillys club from 1996–1999 winning multiple Town Championships and a County League in 1999 against An Ghealteact scoring 1-4 in the final. He averaged over seven points a game in his time in Tralee for the club. He also played for Kerry in the Munster Hurling C/ship V Cork scoring 1-3 in the defeat in 1998. He returned in 2000 to Trinity Gaels but left in 2003 to join their neighbours, St Monica's of Edenmore.

Working initially in a coaching capacity with St Monica's, he guided them to the Dublin Division 6 title in 2003. Following his playing transfer, Murphy resumed his duties at full forward from 2004 onwards, with Monica's narrowly missing out on the end-of-season playoffs in 2004 and 2005.

However, the team recovered from their near-misses and, in 2006, completed a league and cup double. The team won the Division 5 title, losing only once throughout the campaign and defeating their nearest rivals, St Brigid's of Castleknock by 5-11 to 0-6 in the decisive game. They also picked up the Conlon Cup, defeating Round towers of Clondalkin in the final.

Murphy graciously received the 2006 Terry Monaghan award for Outstanding Clubman of the Year, for his efforts both on and off the pitch. In 2007, St Monica's won promotion to Division 3 and captured the cup under Vinnie's management. They are currently safe in their first year up.

# The Polebarn Hotel

The **Polebarn Hotel** in Trowbridge, Wiltshire (formerly **Polebarn House**) is a building of historical significance and is Grade II\* listed on the Historic England Register. It was built in 1789 by John Clark, a local textile mill owner and clergyman. It passed through successive generations of the Clark family until it was sold by auction in about 1920 to Wiltshire County Council, who used it firstly for Children's Services and later as flats. The house became a hotel in 1978.

## John and Catherine Clark

Reverend John Clark (1746–1808) was born in Frome, Somerset in 1746. His father John Clark (1702–1780) had business interests in several fields. He owned a brewery in Frome, a clothier business in Trowbridge and also had half shares in several ships. The Clark clothier firm in Trowbridge was almost exclusively concerned with the manufacture of cloth from fine Spanish merino wool. John took over this business and greatly extended it. It stretched from Rockley in Wiltshire to Kintbury in Berkshire, where he had a dye house, and to the many villages in the Avon Valley near Trowbridge. He frequently went to London to sell his cloth.

He became interested in religion and was the first pastor of the Tabernacle Church in Trowbridge, which he helped to establish. He also was interested in music and was described by one historian as a "man of deep piety, a musician of no mean order and a fair poet. He was versed in astronomy and had his own observatory at his residence Polebarn House, where he also built and installed an organ.

John married Catherine Norris in 1779 in Bath. John's father died the following year in 1780 and he and his brother Joseph inherited considerable wealth. Joseph Clark died in 1793 and John invited his widow and her two sons John and Thomas to come to live with him and his family at Polebank House. In 1801 when his nephews came of age he made them apprentices in the firm and agreed to give them a substantial amount of money after three years if they wished to go into partnership with each other. They did this and formed the company J and T Clark which was a successful clothier business in Trowbridge for many years.

John Clark extended the garden so that it became a "miniature" version of Stourhead, which included adding a lake, temple and gazebo. These do not remain today and the garden has since become smaller.

In 1808 John died and his wife Catherine continued to live at Polebarn House until she died in 1826. After this their only son John Norris Clark inherited the property.

## John Clark's descendants

John Norris Clark (called Norris Clark) the only son of John Clark was born in 1787 in Trowbridge. In 1810 he married Elizabeth Perkins and the couple had four sons. In 1815 Norris built and operated the Castle Court Mill and then in 1822 went into partnership with William Perkins, his brother-in-law, to form the firm Clark & Perkins which existed until 1839. Norris was a close friend of the famous poet George Crabbe and according to Crabbe's son often went to visit him at his home (Polebarn House). He died in 1869 and his youngest son Henry Clark inherited Polebarn House.

Henry Clark (1828–1886) was born in 1828 in Trowbridge. He became a solicitor and was a partner in the Trowbridge firm of Clark and Collins. In 1856 he married Elizabeth Attwood who was the daughter of a clergyman. Henry died in 1886 and his only son Henry Attwood Clark inherited Polebarn House. He sold the house to Emily Mackay who was the wife of William Mackay.

## William and Emily Mackay

Emily Mackay bought Polebarn House in about 1886. She was the daughter of the wealthy clothier William Henry Tucker who owned the Trowbridge firm W. H. Tucker and Co. In 1870 she married William Mackay who was from a Scottish clothier family. He was a partner in W. H. Tucker and Co for some years and then later became head of the business. Emily died in 1890 and William continued to live in Polebarn House until his death in 1920. It was then sold to the County Council.

## History

MAWA was founded as the Manitoba Artists for Women's Art. It was initiated by School of Art professor Diane Whitehouse, who was also on the Board of Plug In Gallery. She gathered together a working group including Sheila Butler, fine art students and others. They collaborated to create an organisation that addresses gender inequality in the visual arts by giving opportunities to women. It was created in response to the findings of a research committee based at Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art.

## Mentorship

MAWA works to sustain art in the community through mentorship programs. Senior women artists share their experience and expertise with developing women artists in a peer-support learning environment that empowers them to build their studio and/or curatorial practices. Through mentorship, MAWA has created a vibrant, skilled community, serving women artists in all phases of their careers.

### Foundation Mentorship Program

The Foundation Mentorship Program has been MAWA’s core activity since 1985. It is a year-long program. It is designed to help women in the visual arts develop skills and define their decision-making philosophies, and to provide access to the information, resources and support they need to realize their artistic goals. In addition to a one-on-one relationship with a mentor, the program provides peer support for the mentees through group mentorship meetings.

### Mentors and Mentees

Mentors have included Sheila Butler, Aganetha Dyck, Diana Thorneycroft, Eleanor Bond, Bev Pike, Grace Nickel, Sigrid Dahle, Shawna Dempsey, KC Adams, and many more. Former mentees have included Reva Stone, Laura Letinsky, Roewan Crowe and Dominique Rey among others.

# National Service Secretariat (Ghana)

Ghanaian students who graduate from accredited tertiary institutions are required under law to do a one-year national service to the country. The **National Service Secretariat** (NSS) is the Government of Ghana agency mandated to formulate policies and structures for national service.

## Structure of the NSS

The organogram of the service has the Board of the service at the top. The Board supervises the activities of the executive director and two Deputy Executive Directors. One deputy is the Head of Finance and Administration and the other is in charge of the service's operations. The executive director and the Deputies supervise the activities of the Heads of various Departments. At the regional level, the service is headed by the Regional Director who in turn supervises the work of the various district directors. The service has Regional Heads in all the ten regional capitals of the country. The service has a staff strength of 342.

## Terms of service

All graduates from Ghanaian tertiary institutions must complete a one-year national service. Every year several ten of thousands of graduates are posted to various sectors as service personnel. In 2009 - 2010 service year, about 67,000 graduates were posted. In the 2010 - 2011 service year, 50,069 personnel were posted. The service is done irrespective of type of sponsorship the individual may have received or the country in which the tertiary course was pursued in. The personnel upon posting to an establishment is subject to the rules and regulations that govern it. In case where the establishment's rules conflict with that of the NSS, the latter's is used. Again, graduates who are sponsored by certain institutions to offer tertiary programmes return to those institutions. All benefits that the service personnel is entitled to shall be frozen till the personnel complete their service.

### Allowance

Service personnel are paid monthly allowances. The amount paid is determined by the Ministry of Finance. The allowance that is approved is what the ministry would pay the personnel throughout the service year. Payment is calculated from the date the service personnel reports for duty at his/her designated post.

### Annual leave

All personnel are entitled to a month's annual terminal leave for the year that spans their service. The month leave is usually given in August to all personnel.

### National Service Certificate

After completion of the mandatory one-year national service, The National Service Secretariat issues a national service certificate to all personnel.

## Offenses under the NSS Act

The NSS is governed by Act 426 under which there are the following offenses:

### Evasion

Personnel who do not report to their posts after 3 months of being posted are considered to have evaded the service. For such a personnel, appropriate sanctions under Act 426 are applied.

# The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History

***The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History*** is a work of paleoconservative literature covering various issues in U.S. history by Thomas E. Woods, published in December 2004. This book was the first in the *Politically Incorrect Guide* series published by Regnery Publishing, who view the series as covering topics without consideration for political correctness. The book was present on *The New York Times* best-seller list for many weeks.

## Background and contents

The book challenges modern notions of American history; the author argues, among other viewpoints, that America's founding fathers were conservatives, the War on Poverty made poverty worse and that hundreds of American liberals had ties to the Soviet Union during the McCarthy Era. It also contests the cost-effectiveness of government projects, especially the Transcontinental Railroad.

Various writers have noted pro-Confederate themes in the book. It is described in the book *Neo-Confederacy* as a "neo-Confederate text" that says slavery was benign. Woods acknowledges Clyde N. Wilson and Donald Livingston as having helped to develop his book.

## Reception

The book was promoted on Fox News, and was listed on the *New York Times* Best Seller list for non-fiction books, reaching 8th place in January 2005.

In an editorial in the *Times* that month, Adam Cohen said "it is tempting to dismiss the book as fringe scholarship, not worth worrying about, but the numbers say otherwise." Cohen described the book as "a checklist of arch-conservative talking points" which opposed civil rights and promoted discredited theories such as nullification.

Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Max Boot published a critique of the book in *The Weekly Standard* in February 2005. Boot labeled Woods' pro-secessionist views as a "Bizarro world". Boot also criticized Woods for what he saw as ignoring African-Americans' struggle for civil rights and ignoring the fact that Clinton's intervention in the Balkans stopped a potential genocide.

Also in February, libertarian columnist Cathy Young agreed with some of the book's views of free-market economics, but harshly criticized Woods' handling of the topic of slavery: "Unfortunately, whatever solid arguments this book has can only be tainted by association with Woods's ultra-reactionary extremism."

Historian David Greenberg in March dismissed Woods as a "hitherto unknown assistant professor" and his book as "a brisk tour of U.S. history from Colonial to Clintonian times, filtered through a lens of far-right dogma, circa 1939" that is "incorrect in more than just its politics" and that "would be tedious to debunk."

Law professor Eric L. Muller has been frequently cited as a critic of the book, linking its views to the neo-Confederate organization the League of the South. Woods was one of the founding members of the League of the South.

Judge James Haley praised the book in the conservative *Weekly Standard* as "a compelling rebuttal to the liberal sentiment encrusted upon current history texts."

# New Balance 550

**New Balance 550** is a basketball shoe produced by New Balance.

## Overview

The shoes were designed by Steven Smith and created as a low top version of the company's **New Balance Pride 650**. The shoe was originally known as the **New Balance P550 Oxford** and was primarily a budget shoe. It sold for $45 when it was first released in 1989. The shoe was designed to improve on the **New Balance 480**. Smooth leather was used for the upper, and perforated profile panels and lightweight mesh for the base to make it more breathable, a major complaint with the 480. The heel had a molded structure to improve stability and lockdown, and the sole used an updated traction pattern and layout to provide better responsiveness. The shoe also featured a very thick sole with EVA foam.

The shoe was brought back in 2020 when Aimé Leon Dore decided to collaborate with the company. The shoe was not successful when it first launched decades ago and was so obscure for the company itself that it had to buy used pairs and find old sketches to recreate the release as close to the original. The release proved to be so successful that it led to the shoe becoming a general release for the company.

The magazine is no longer published, but the rights holders maintain a web presence using its final title ***Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer***.

## History

*The Space Gamer* (*TSG*) started out as a digest quarterly publication of the brand new Metagaming Concepts company in March 1975. Howard M. Thompson, the owner of Metagaming and the first editor of the magazine, stated "The magazine had been planned for after our third or fourth game but circumstances demand we do it now" (after their first game, *Stellar Conquest*). Initial issues were in a plain-paper digest format. By issue 17, it had grown to a full size bimonthly magazine, printed on slick paper.

When Steve Jackson departed Metagaming to found his own company, he also secured the right to publish *The Space Gamer* from number 27 on. In the first Steve Jackson Games (SJG) issue, Howard Thompson wrote a report on Metagaming and stated "Metagaming's staff won't miss the effort. After the change in ownership, Metagaming feels comfortable with the decision; it was the right thing to do." In the same issue, Steve Jackson announced, "*TSG* is going monthly ... from \[number 28 (May 1980)\] on, it'll be a monthly magazine." The magazine stayed with SJG for the next five years, during which it was at its most popular and influential. In 1983, the magazine was split into two separate bimonthly magazines published in alternating months: *Space Gamer* (losing the definite article with the split in Number 64), and *Fantasy Gamer*; the former concentrating entirely on science fiction, and the latter on fantasy. This arrangement lasted about a year. *Fantasy Gamer* ran six issues before being folded back into *Space Gamer*:

> You see, we were churning out magazines - *Space Gamer*, *Fantasy Gamer*, *Fire & Movement*, and *Autoduel Quarterly* \- at the rate of two a month! ... We had to find some way to preserve what little sanity we had left. The best way to do this was to merge *Space Gamer* and *Fantasy Gamer* ... As it has for the past year, *Space Gamer* will appear bimonthly, giving us the time to get some games done, as well.

Like Metagaming before it, the effort of producing a magazine became greater than its publisher was willing to bear. The change to bi-monthly publication was not enough to allow SJG to focus on new games as they wished, and in 1985, it was announced, "We've sold *Space Gamer*. We'll still be heavily involved—but SJ Games won't be the publisher any longer. Giving up *SG* is definitely traumatic... but it gives us the time to do other things, especially GURPS". The magazine had been sold to *Diverse Talents, Incorporated* (DTI). They initially had it as a section in their own magazine *The VIP of Gaming*, but it soon became a separate publication again with the previous numbering and format, but with the name *Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer*. *Space Gamer* ceased publication in September 1985.

Since that time, it has gone through a number of owners, all keeping the final name, but occasionally restarting the numbering. Eventually, *Better Games*, now renamed *Space Gamer*, bought the magazine, and has kept the title alive by reinventing it through the internet.

In 2010 Steve Jackson Games started republishing back issues in PDF format.

## History

### 1997–2000: *A Jagged Era* and *J.E. Heartbreak*

Jagged Edge began their mainstream recording career with the single "The Way That You Talk". They followed this in 1997 with the album, *A Jagged Era* which went gold, featuring the singles "I Gotta Be" and "The Way That You Talk". "I Gotta Be" which was written by the twins, reached number 11 on the R&B charts and number 23 on the Hot 100.

Following up on their debut album, Jagged Edge released *J.E. Heartbreak* in 1999. The album was the group's breakthrough album with several popular singles. The album went double platinum and had the hit single "Let's Get Married" which topped the R&B charts and reached number 11 on the Hot 100. The album's second single, "He Can't Love U" (released September 28, 1999) had similar success, reaching number 3 on the R&B charts and number 15 on the Hot 100. It also featured the track "Promise", which reached number 1 on the R&B charts and number 9 on the Hot 100.

### 2001–2003: *Jagged Little Thrill* and *Hard*

The group's third release, *Jagged Little Thrill*, was released in 2001 and went platinum. Its success was in large part, due to the up-tempo "Where the Party At" which reached number 1 on the R&B charts and number 3 on the Hot 100, the group's highest-charting single.

Jagged Edge's fourth album, *Hard*, was released in 2003 and went gold. The album's single "Walked Outta Heaven" performed well on the charts, reaching number 6 on the Hot 100 and number 2 on the R&B charts.

### 2006–2011: *Jagged Edge*, *Baby Makin' Project* and *The Remedy*

Jagged Edge's fifth album, *Jagged Edge*, was released on May 9, 2006, by Columbia/Sony Music Urban and it went gold. It featured the hit urban single "Good Luck Charm". Also released on November 21, 2006, was *The Hits* collection featuring Jagged Edge's biggest hits plus a few album tracks. The album shared the single "Stunnas" that's also on the *Jagged Edge* album as a bonus track.

Jagged Edge parted ways with Columbia Records shortly after the release of their self-titled fifth album and signed back with Dupri. Dupri re-signed the group to So So Def through Island Def Jam, which handles the distribution for So So Def, and where Dupri was president of the urban division. The group was also granted their own record label called 581 Muzik Groupe which was credited on their album, *Baby Makin' Project*.

The only single released off *Baby Makin' Project* was "Put a Little Umph in it" featuring Ashanti. It reached number 49 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. The group recorded so much material for the project that they have saved eight of the tracks for another album, a release date for which has not been announced.

Jagged Edge signed to Slip-N-Slide Records in May 2009. The album titled "The Remedy" was released on June 21, 2011. The project had one collaboration with Rick Ross. The first warm-up single from "The Remedy" is "Tip of My Tongue" featuring Slip 'N Slide Records' labelmate Trina and Gucci Mane. A second warm-up single, "Lay You Down", was released before the "official" single titled "Baby".

### 2014–present: *J.E. Heartbreak II* and *Layover*

The group released their eighth studio album titled *J.E. Heartbreak 2* on October 27, 2014. On May 15, released their first single titled "Hope." The song was co-written by brothers Brian and Brandon Casey.

In November 2016, they released a new greatest hits album, featuring re-recorded versions of their biggest hit singles.

In 2017, they recorded an episode of TV One's *Unsung* series, which premiered on July 9. They also announced the release of their ninth studio album *Layover* set for release on the same day. However, it was delayed and finally released a day later.

In late 2018, they announced a new single "He Ain't Sh\*t" featuring Ty Dolla Sign.

In 2019, the group released the single "Closest Thing to Perfect" and announced they are working on their 10th album. On June 12, the group announced on their official Instagram that their 10th studio album *A Jagged Love Story* will be releasing on July 15, 2019.
