## Academic and professional career

Between 1996 and 1997 Dekel served as Chief Curator of the O.R.S Collection, one of the largest human resources companies in Israel. Since then, Dekel has curated exhibitions related to her research expertise, such as "Inside and outside the frame: Philippine artists photographing in Israel".

Since 2001, Dekel is a lecturer in the Women and Gender Studies Program at Tel Aviv University. She joined as a lecturer in the Department of Art History in 2010 and was the co-founder of the Israeli Art Track in the department, also serving there as co-chair of the steering committee for Israeli art studies.

Between 2015 and 2017 she served as Chair of the NCJW Gender Studies Forum of Tel Aviv University. In 2017 she was appointed head of the Visual Literacy Studies, an M.Ed. program, and head of the Curatorial Studies at the Kibbutzim College of Technology and Arts.

In June 2024 Dekel was promoted to Associate Professor at the Kibbutzim College.

## Research

Her book, *Gendered – Art and Feminist Theory*, combines a discussion about feminist art and theoretical issues that are linked by a unique and reciprocal bond whose influence extends far beyond their own bounds into the social, cultural, political and economic realms, as well as into personal lives of women and men alike. This linkage was forged in different places around the world in the 1960s and 1970s. It was especially influential in the United States, during a decade that witnessed the emergence and growth of the Women's Liberation, Civil Rights, LGBT, and hippie movements, as well as the protest against the Vietnam War. In response to these events, large numbers of women artists joined the ranks of contemporary political-feminist activists, their art directly reflecting the concerns of feminist theory and practice. This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach via which it compares American feminist art and artists with their European counterparts. In order to elucidate the geographical divide, this book takes as a test case the work of Mary Kelly who, while born in the US, produced much of her work while living in Britain and under the influence of European thought. Challenging traditional disciplinary boundaries, it moves beyond an art-history survey to discuss the artistic field in relation to feminist theory and politics, revealing their continuing relevance for the contemporary reader. While concentrating upon the second wave of feminism in Europe and USA, it also addresses aspects of the third wave and the current state of the feminist movement, particularly in respect to the Israeli art scene.

Her book, *Transnational Identities: Women, Art, and Migration in Contemporary Israel*, offers a critical discussion of women immigrants in Israel through an analysis of works by artists who immigrated to the country beginning in the 1990s. Though numerous aspects of women migrants have received intense academic scrutiny, no scholarly books to date have addressed the gender facets of the experiences of contemporary women immigrants in Israel. The book follows an up-to-date theoretical model, adopting critical tools from a wide range of fields and weaving them together through an in-depth qualitative study that includes the use of open interviews, critical theories, and analysis of artworks, offering a unique and compelling perspective from which to discuss this complex subject of citizenship and cultural belonging in an ethno-national state.

The book therefore contributes to several fields of research, including women's lives, citizenship studies, global migration, Jewish and national identity and women's art in contemporary Israel. The book is divided into sections, each of which aims a spotlight on women artists belonging to a distinct groups of immigrants — the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, and the Philippines — and shows how their artwork reflects various conflicts regarding citizenship and identity-related processes, dynamics of inclusion-exclusion, and power relations that characterize their experiences.

Transnational Identities promotes a more nuanced, complex understanding of diversity among women from various groups and even within a specific ethnic group, as well as considering the "common differences" between women from diverse life experiences. To lay the groundwork for an analysis of the themes that recur in their artworks, Dekel briefly discusses the notions of global migration and transnationalism and then examines gender and several other identity-related categories, notably religion, race, and class. These categories underline the complex nexus of overlapping and sometimes contradictory affiliations and identities that characterize migrating subjects in an age of globalization. *Transnational Identities - Women, Art and Migration in Contemporary Israel* integrates theories from various disciplines, including art history, citizenship studies and critical political theory, gender studies, cultural studies, and migration studies using an interdisciplinary approach.

In her academic articles, Dekel researches intersectionality, discussing issues such as feminist anti-war stances; gender fluidity; the emergence of feminist art in Israel and its origins; and ethnic identities in the nation-state under neo-liberalism, chauvinism and transnationalism.

title: Mojado Formation

abstract: The Mojado Formation is a geologic formation in southwestern New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the early Cretaceous period.

text:
# Mojado Formation

The **Mojado Formation** is a geologic formation in southwestern New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the early Cretaceous period.

## Description

The formation consists mostly of sandstone and shale, with some limestone, and siltstone. It rests conformably on the U-Bar Formation and is unconformably overlain by the Cowboy Spring Formation.The total thickness is 5,150–7,800 feet (1,570–2,380 m).

Lucas and his coinvestigators assigned the formation to the Bisbee Group and divided it into the Fryingpan Spring, **Sarten**, Beartooth, and Rattlesnake Ridge members.

The Fryingpan Spring Member is interpreted as continental deltaic sedimentation. The Sarten Member is fluvial while the Rattlesnake Ridge Member represents a return to shallow marine conditions.

## Fossils

The formation contains fossil mollusks such as gastropods, ammonites, and pelecypod, foraminifera, and scaphopods. These date the formation to the late Albian.

## History of investigation

The formation name was first used by Zeller in 1962, but he did not formally name the formation until 1965. In 1998, Lucas and coinvestigators assigned the formation to the Bisbee Group and divided it into the Fryingpan Spring, Sarten, Beartooth, and Rattlesnake Ridge members. However, Lawton abandoned the Beartooth Member in 2004.

## Etymology

The name "LookSmart" is a double entendre, referring to both its selective, editorially compiled directory and as a compliment to users whom the company thinks "look smart".

## History

### 1995–1998

LookSmart was founded as Homebase in 1995 in Melbourne, Australia by husband and wife Evan Thornley and Tracy Ellery, executives of McKinsey & Company. Reader's Digest invested $5 million in the company for an 80% stake. The original concept of Homebase was to build a female and family-friendly web portal to supplement the Reader's Digest magazine. After leadership and strategy changes at Reader's Digest, which reduced RD's focus on its online business, RD wanted to shut down Homebase, which would have cost $4 million in payouts and other termination costs. The founders and former McKinsey's employee Martin Hosking instead proposed a cheaper leveraged buyout of Homebase.

On 28 October 1996, the company launched its LookSmart search engine. At launch, the search engine listed more than 85,000 sites and had a "Java-enhanced" interface. In June 1997, the search engine underwent a major redesign, dropping its original Java-based browsing system.

LookSmart was sold back to the founders as well as Martin Hosking through a leveraged buyout in 1998, with Reader's Digest providing a $1.5 million loan and retaining about a 10% equity stake. Also in 1998, a search box was added to the LookSmart search engine along with People Search, Yellow pages, Discussions and shopping search. In May 1998, the company raised $2.3 million from Amwin and $6.0 million from Cox Media Group and Macquarie Bank and was valued at $23.3 million. On 21 December 1998, LookSmart stopped accepting pornographic advertisements.

### 1999–2001

By 1999, the company had 500 employees and LookSmart was the twelfth most visited website worldwide with 10 million users, behind AltaVista and ahead of Snap. In early-1999, the company reached an agreement to provide directory and listing services for Microsoft for 5 years. The deal provided the company with $30 million upfront and guaranteed payments of $5 million per year. In late-March 1999, the company raised $59.6 million based on a post-money valuation of $430 million from Amerindo Investment Advisors, Citicorp Equity Capital, Cox Interactive Media, Hambrecht & Quist and others. In May 1999, LookSmart formed a strategic partnership with direct-response marketing company Guthy-Renker and acquired some of their assets from their e-commerce division for $3 million.

On 20 August 1999, during the dot-com bubble, the company became a public company via an initial public offering on the NASDAQ, debuting at $12 per share and raising $92.4 million based on a $1 billion valuation for the company. LookSmart used the money it made from its IPO to open offices in Denmark, Canada and the Netherlands. By October 1999, the stock price reached $30 per share, giving the company a market capitalization of $2.5 billion. The founders' 15% stake was worth $375 million. On 10 November 1999, LookSmart and BT Group founded joint venture BT LookSmart. In December 1999, LookSmart purchased FutureCorp and its free email service Start for more than $5 million from its co-founders Michael Mak and Bardia Housman. Also in December, LookSmart acquired 14.5% of the voting stock of Dstore Pty Ltd. for $300,000.

In 2000, FindArticles, a website which provided access to articles previously published in magazines, journals, and other sources, was founded as a partnership between LookSmart, which authored the search technology, and the Gale Group, which provided the articles for a fee.

In March 2000, LookSmart's stock price briefly peaked at $72 per share. On 28 March 2000, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) signed a sponsorship deal with LookSmart by adding a custom-built LookSmart directory to the Olympic Games' website. On 30 May 2000, Juno Online Services reached an agreement with LookSmart to provide Juno's subscribers access to LookSmart's directory and LookSmart's stock jumped 8%. On 26 July 2000, AltaVista reached an agreement with LookSmart for it to be their exclusive directory provider. In October 2000, the company acquired Zeal for $20 million.

As a result of the dot-com bubble bursting in late 2000, the company fired 172 employees or 31% of its staff in January 2001 to cut costs. Also in January, LookSmart shut down Inside The Web and LookSmart Live! due to them being unrelated to their core business model. On 17 January 2001, the company reached a deal to provide product categories from its directory to Amazon.

Also after the dot-com bubble burst, LookSmart paid $90,000 to transfer 52.8% of its ownership of FutureCorp back to its founders.

### 2002–2003

On 12 March 2002, LookSmart announced that they would be acquiring WiseNut for about $9.25 million in stock. LookSmart completed their acquisition of WiseNut in April.

In July 2002, BT LookSmart acquired UK Plus from Associated New Media (ANM) for an undisclosed amount. On 1 October 2002, Jason Kellerman became the CEO of LookSmart, having previously served as COO of the company. In early-December 2002, LookSmart paid US$3.5 million in cash and 1 million in LookSmart shares to purchase BT LookSmart from BT Group and subsequently shut down the joint venture. LookSmart also returned US$1.5 million in restricted cash that was to be used for the funding of the joint venture.

In January 2003, LookSmart acquired Intellectual property rights from Grub for $1.3 million in cash and stock. On 6 March 2003, LookSmart announced that they had renewed an agreement with Time Warner Cable's Road Runner division to continue providing directory listings for Road Runner subscribers. On 9 July 2003, LookSmart announced that they had reached an agreement to provide listing services in the United States for web portal Terra Lycos.

In August 2003, LookSmart stated in a financial report that Microsoft, which accounted for 64% of the company's listing revenues in the last 6 months and 70% of the company's overall revenue, started testing its own search technology without LookSmart's listings on some of its websites in the United Kingdom and LookSmart's stock dropped more than 20% on 15 August and continued dropping on 18 August. Also in August, William Lonergan became the new CFO of LookSmart. In October 2003, LookSmart reintroduced its bid-for-placement ads in order to compete with Google and Yahoo!, which were previously offered through LookSmart's UK division. On 6 October 2003, Microsoft announced that it would not renew its agreement with LookSmart and the company's stock price plunged 52.3% in a day and its stock fell to $1.44 per share. In response to this, LookSmart fired half of its employees in December 2003.

In September 2003, the company settled a lawsuit filed in May 2002 by Legal Staffing Partners after the company converted thousands of websites that originally had paid a onetime submission fee into a cost-per-click payment model.

In 2003, LookSmart had a net income of $5.8 million and made $140.9 million in revenue.

### 2004–2009

In January 2004, LookSmart sold its Australian operations to Telstra's online division Sensis and most of LookSmart's 30 employees in Australia started working for Sensis.

# Yan's theorem

In probability theory, **Yan's theorem** is a separation and existence result. It is of particular interest in financial mathematics where one uses it to prove the Kreps-Yan theorem.

The theorem was published by Jia-An Yan. It was proven for the L1 space and later generalized by Jean-Pascal Ansel to the case $1\leq p\<+\infty $.

## Yan's theorem

Notation:

$\overline {\Omega }$ is the closure of a set $\Omega $. $A-B=\\{f-g:f\in A,\\;g\in B\\}$. $I\_{A}$ is the indicator function of $A$. $q$ is the conjugate index of $p$.

### Statement

Let $(\Omega ,{\mathcal {F},P)}$ be a probability space, $1\leq p\<+\infty $ and $B\_{+}$ be the space of non-negative and bounded random variables. Further let $K\subseteq L^{p}(\Omega ,{\mathcal {F},P)}$ be a convex subset and $0\in K$.

Then the following three conditions are equivalent:

1. For all $f\in L\_{+}^{p}(\Omega ,{\mathcal {F},P)}$ with $f\neq 0$ exists a constant $c\>0$, such that $cf\not \in {\overline {K-B\_{+}}}$.
2. For all $A\in {\mathcal {F}}$ with $P(A)\>0$ exists a constant $c\>0$, such that $cI\_{A}\not \in {\overline {K-B\_{+}}}$.
3. There exists a random variable $Z\in L^{q}$, such that $Z\>0$ almost surely and

$\sup \limits \_{Y\in K}\mathbb {E} \[ZY\]\<+\infty $.

# United Kingdom eSports Association

The **United Kingdom eSports Association** or **UKeSA** (pronounced *You-Kes-Sah*) attempted to be a governing body of eSports in the United Kingdom and a member of the International eSports Federation (IeSF). The headquarters were in London, United Kingdom.

The UKeSA was responsible for governing amateur and professional eSports, building a structure with the government, industry and community in mind. These include Metropolitan Police Service, BBC, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association, Procter & Gamble, Future Publishing, Electronic Arts, Codemasters, The New World Assembly, XLEAGUE.TV, Team Dignitas, Reason Gaming, Team Infused, Fnatic, QuadV and Cadred.

UKeSA set up leagues and cup tournaments, split between three divisions: Open Division, Championship Division and Premiership Division. Each division represents the different levels of competition from amateur to professional and is played online via the internet through the means of a personal computer or a video games console. Teams can compete in a series of video games including *FIFA 09*, *Call of Duty 4* and *Counter-Strike*. Competition finals of these divisions were hosted at a specially selected venue in the United Kingdom. Teams are gathered to play against each other in off-line, local area network (LAN) setups as opposed to online play in the initial stages of the tournament.

## History

31 October 2008 sees the official launch of the United Kingdom eSports Association during the 2008 London Games Festival in London. The launch party was held at the Haymarket branch of the Sports Cafe.

On 26 November 2008, it has been announced that several of the following organisations, both private and public sector, have been involved in the setup of UKeSA: Metropolitan Police Service, BBC, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association, Procter & Gamble, Future Publishing, Electronic Arts, Codemasters, The New World Assembly, XLEAGUE.TV, Team Dignitas, Reason Gaming, Team Infused, Fnatic, QuadV and Cadred.

The Executive Committee of UKeSA were announced on 12 January 2009. Members consist of personnel from the likes of Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association, British Broadcasting Association and Future Publishing.

£35,000 GBP prize fund was announced for the Championship and Premiership Divisions on 13 January 2009. A selection of video game titles were listed as part of the Open Division.

Future Publishing are partnering with UKeSA and aligning itself with the Open Division, announced on 23 January 2009.

A selection of video game titles were announced for the Championship Division on 27 January 2009. They were chosen from the amount of sign ups in the Open Division. Top four titles will be picked to represent the Premiership Division.

On 6 February 2009, UK Internet Service Provider, Be Unlimited has become the official broadband provider sponsor of UKeSA for 2009.

UKeSA has announced the selection of eSports teams to represent and play in the Premiership Division on 13 February 2009. They include established teams such as Team Dignitas, The Imperial, Crack Clan and Team Coolermaster.

Dell becomes the sponsor for UKeSA's Premiership Division on 17 February 2009.

UKeSA opens up nominations and voting for the Community Committee on 25 February 2009. They also increased the prize fund for the UKeSA Championship and Premiership Division from £35,000 to £40,000.

On 18 March 2009, UKeSA have appointed Richard 'Dr. Gonzo' Lewis, Michael 'ODEE' O'Dell and Stuart 'TosspoT' Saw as the elected Community Council members.

On 2 April 2009, HMV and UKeSA have announced that they are pairing up to organise the "GameOn! London" exhibition at the Olympia Exhibition Centre, London, which takes place in June 2009.

The governing body signs up to become a member of the International eSports Federation.

In December 2009, amid controversy, the UKeSA signed for bankruptcy and has since made no attempt to pay back any individual or organisation it owed.

## Committee Structure

The UKeSA structure is made up of three key committees and a players union. Each committee plays a vital role in the operations of the eSports Association. So far, only the Executive Committee and the Community Council has been officially announced.

The Executive Committees purpose is to assist, direct and act as ambassadors for UK eSports to the wider public. The Committee shall be composed of prominent industry, media and government figures and shall include senior representatives from the games industry.

* Ray Mia - Chief Executive, United Kingdom eSports Association (UKeSA)
* Duncan Best - Director, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA)
* Richard Keith – Director, Future PLC
* Steve Carsey – Deputy CEO/Creative Director, Steadfast Television/Apace Media
* James Claydon – Head of News & Entertainment, BBC Motion Gallery (BBC Worldwide) and CEO of London Features International & Idols
* Crawford Balch – Senior Manager, Reid & Casement

The Community Council consists of six people: Three elected members of the UK eSports community, two permanent Executive Committee members of the UKeSA and one Senior Operational Manager. Originally, the three elected members of the eSports community had to be Team Managers from Championship or Premiership Teams. This was changed to make the Community Council both representative and inclusive of the UK eSports community. However, candidates must be UK passport holders and they must reside in the United Kingdom.

Candidates put themselves up for electoral status and are given an opportunity to state their wishes as to why they should be chosen for the Community Council. Questions are then submitted to the candidates by the public and are then answered by writing or through a live debate broadcast on Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) or web-streaming.

Voting for potential Community Council members are done via public vote and are tallied via electronic means, such as a website. Voters are allowed to vote for 3 candidates and can only choose once per election. Elected members are not able to sit in the Community Council for two consecutive terms, however, they are able to be re-elected after standing down from a single term. No length of time has been given as to indicate how long these terms are.

Elected members of the committee are responsible for community related operational and disciplinary matters. These include the enforcement of game, tournament and cup regulations and rules, disciplinary breaches of regulations and conduct, allocation of the seasonal cash retainers, game type and rule suggestions and responsibility for video game specific sub-committees. Attendance is required for Community Committee members through bi-monthly conference calls and physical meetings by attending the General Assembly.

On 18 March 2009, UKeSA have announced the results of the elections for the Community Council. The following will be sitting in as members of the Community Council for one term:

* Richard Lewis - Freelance writer and former eSports manager.
* Michael O'Dell - General Manager, Team Dignitas.
* Stuart Saw - eSports Commentator, QuadV.

Also on the board for the Community Council is Ray Mia, who sits in as the permanent Executive Committee members of the Council and Peter Simpson as the Senior Operational Manager.

The Ethics Commission is charged with defining and updating a framework of ethical principles, including a Code of Ethics & Conduct, based upon the values and principles enshrined in the UKeSA Charter.

The Players Association is a separate entity that is supported by the UKeSA. This body, once established will be permanently represented on the Ethics Commission.

## General Assembly

Meetings are set up between the Executive Committee, Community Council, Ethics Commission, Players Association and other leading figures among the government, the eSports community (such as the International eSports Federation) and video games industry. Held three times a year, these meetings consist of debated issues concerning eSports in the United Kingdom, how they relate to operational aspects of UKeSA and the endorsement of the UKeSA Charter. The General Assembly is invitational only, with permanent membership endorsed by elective procedures.

## Competition structure

Competitions are split into three divisions, some of which will comprise a league and a cup tournament. Each of the divisions represent the different levels, citing grassroots amateur level to the professional level. There are three seasons per year, which last approximately three months per season. Teams from each division can face promotions and relegation depending on how they perform in each of the leagues during the season. Throughout each of the seasons, a trophy cup tournament is held between teams of the Open and Championship Division. Competition finals of the Cup Tournament, Championship and Premiership divisions are hosted at a specially selected venue in the United Kingdom each season. Qualifying eSports teams are gathered to play against each other in offline, local area network (LAN) setups as opposed to online play in the initial stages of the tournament.

The Open Division represents the grassroots of eSports and form part of the amateur competitions. Playing restrictions are set to a minimum standard and games are played for fun or for practise. Because the Open Division is viewed as the amateur level of eSports, many teams that participate are generally those who have just started or want to determine whether they are suitable at competitive level before moving to the semi-professional side of eSports.

The Championship Division represents the semi-professional competition level. Teams that choose to play in this division are generally groups who wish to move to the next stage of eSports and play for financial gain. Many of these team are established and may have squads for each individual game/title. Teams can be promoted from this division into the Premiership Division, through participation. Support and training are given to teams to aid their development. Such training includes both management and business elements, which is seen as crucial to building a team into global brand.

The Premiership Division represents the professional level. Teams are given retainers to support themselves and develop their internal infrastructure as well as business support and training. Teams can be demoted through participation of competitions and must follow guidelines and rules throughout their participation.

A seasonal Cup Tournament is held between the teams of the Open Division and the Championship Division. Teams are required to pay to enter and games are then carried out online. The final remaining teams will face at an offline, local area network (LAN) event. Premiership Division teams are not allowed to enter.

## Teams

Currently, there are 13 selected eSports teams that represent the professional level of eSports. These teams participate in the UKeSA Premiership Division and play in different leagues that represent the video games they compete in. These teams are given media coverage through website editorials, terrestrial, satellite and cable television, internet protocol television and podcast. Business, management and financial support are given throughout the season, offering training managerial skills and business development, which will prepare the teams for sponsorships from companies like Dell, Adidas and other major business companies. Retainers are paid to Premiership teams at the end of each season, which will give financial support they need to carry on pushing the team brand as a primary business.

The number of Championship Division teams are determined by several factors such as paid entry fees and completion of team data like video game user identification tags, with teams submitting themselves for the competition each season. These teams are working towards being promoted into the UKeSA Premiership Division, which will offer the team the support they need to get their brand off the ground. Teams in the UKeSA Championship Division are given limited support for business and management training, while financial support comes from winning the competition.

## Competitive Video Games

There are a total of 17 video game titles currently used throughout the different divisions. They consist from a range of first person shooters, driving simulation, beat 'em ups, real-time strategy, sports simulation and rhythm action genres. Each of the video game titles have some element of competitive online and offline multiplayer modes, which allow the players to play against each other, specifically using competitive gaming rules set by UKeSA.

New video games titles are added when the eSports community requests for the inclusion in the competition. Titles are first placed into the Open Division to gauge the amount of sign-ups for that specific video game. If enough players register in the Open Division, UKeSA will move to include it into the semi-professional, Championship Division, where eSports athletes will be able to register to play for the prize fund. If a particular video game title is popular enough in the Championship Division, UKeSA will warrant that video game a place in the Premiership Division.

Not all video game titles are suitable for use in a competitive environment as certain video game titles do not allow private sessions hosted by the players via peer-to-peer or server-led gaming rooms. Such games include UbiSoft's EndWar, where online play is restricted to its open Theatre of War lobby system.

# Zhu Yi (Liang dynasty)

**Zhu Yi** (483 – February 16, 549), courtesy name **Yanhe** (彥和), was an official of the Chinese dynasty Liang dynasty in the Northern and Southern dynasties period. He was greatly trusted by Emperor Wu in Emperor Wu's old age. He is often depicted by historians as corrupt and duplicitous, as well as a reason for Liang's downfall.

## Background

Zhu Yi was born in Qiantang County of Wu Commandery, which is in present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and was a member of Zhu clan of Wu (吴郡朱氏). His father Zhu Xuanzhi (朱選之) was known for his integrity, but was only a county magistrate at the prime of his career. His mother was the daughter of Gu Huan of the Gu clan of Wu. Zhu Yi himself, when young, became known for his knowledge of the Confucian classics, history, and astrology. When he met Emperor Wu's minister Shen Yue, Shen was impressed by him, and although Zhu was not yet at the age of 24, which was generally required for junior Liang officials, Zhu was selected as an official at age 20, in 503. That year, he was selected to publicly pronounce Emperor Wu's commentaries on the *Xiao Jing*—an honor for junior officials—and from that point, he was repeatedly promoted. This was particularly the case after 524, when Zhu correctly judged that the rival Northern Wei's general Yuan Faseng (元法僧) was truly surrendering his garrison of Pengcheng to Liang. That year, one of Emperor Wu's co-de facto prime ministers, Zhou She, died, and after Zhou's death Zhu became increasingly involved in drafting edicts for Emperor Wu and in making judgment in some important matters. He was described to be quick in his reactions, getting work done quickly. After Xu Mian's death in 535, Zhu became de facto prime minister, although he never got that title. By this point, Zhu was considered to be capable but corrupt, often accepting large bribes and then making recommendations to Emperor Wu based on those bribes. The historian Sima Guang commented about Zhu in this manner in his *Zizhi Tongjian*:

> Zhu was spectacular in his writing talent, and for his quick and proper reactions. He used all his effort to build up his reputation among the people. Zhu carefully served the emperor, and was good at flattering. He spent 30 years in power, and he was exceedingly corrupt, deceiving and covering the eyes of the emperor. The people of the entire empire, regardless of how far they were from the capital, hated him greatly. Zhu's garden, residence, favorite items, food, entertainment, and women were all best in the empire. Whenever he had a vacation and returned to his home, the streets were filled with the wagons of his guests.

## Descent

In 547, the Eastern Wei (a branch successor state of Northern Wei) general Hou Jing, not willing to submit to Gao Cheng, the son of the paramount general Gao Huan after Gao Huan's death, surrendered his domain—13 provinces forming the region between the Huai River and the Yellow River—to Liang. Emperor Wu initially hesitated at accepting Hou's defection, given his long-standing peace with Eastern Wei, but Zhu, seeing how deep in his heart Emperor Wu wanted more territory, greatly encouraged him to accept Hou. However, both Hou and the army Emperor Wu sent to support Hou, commanded by Emperor Wu's nephew Xiao Yuanming the Marquess of Zhenyang, were defeated by the Eastern Wei general Murong Shaozong (慕容紹宗). Xiao Yuanming was captured by Murong, while Hou lost his entire territory. Emperor Wu made Hou the governor of Southern Yu Province (南豫州, modern central Anhui), but at Zhu's suggestion, entered into peace talks with Eastern Wei. Hou became apprehensive, and he paid a large bribe to Zhu to ask Zhu to stop the peace talks.

Zhu, who was the dominant statesmen at Emperor Wu's court, accepted Hou's bribes but refused to intercede. At the same time, not taking Hou seriously, Zhu rejected warnings from Emperor Wu's nephew Xiao Fan (蕭範) the Prince of Poyang to prepare for a Hou rebellion. He dismissed Fan while saying "Jing has with him but a few hundred rebellious caitiffs. What can they do?"

Soon, Hou was suspicious that he would be betrayed, and he forged a letter from Gao Cheng, offering to trade Xiao Yuanming for Hou. Emperor Wu, after Zhu convinced him that Hou posed no actual threat, accepted—and when Hou saw this, he rebelled in 548, claiming that he was seeking to clear the court of evil officials—Zhu, along with Xu Lin (徐麟), Lu Yan (陸驗), and Zhou Shizhen (周石珍). Even then, Zhu did not take Hou seriously, and when the general Yang Kan (羊侃) suggested blocking Hou's path to the Yangtze River, Zhu advised against it, and Emperor Wu did not do so, allowing Hou to cross the Yangtze easily and put the capital Jiankang under siege.

During the siege, Hou again repeatedly stated that he was only seeking to execute Zhu. When Emperor Wu asked his crown prince Xiao Gang whether the crimes that Hou accused Zhu of were true, Xiao Gang indicated that they were true—but subsequently spoke against Emperor Wu's thought of executing Zhu, arguing that doing so would only encourage Hou. Zhu was therefore spared, and subsequently participated in the city's defense, and he wrote letters to Hou trying to persuade Hou to lift the siege, to no avail. When Hou's general Fan Taobang (范桃棒) subsequently offered to defect and kill Hou, Zhu greatly advocated for the plan, but Xiao Gang suspected Fan's intentions and therefore did not act on the offer. (Hou subsequently discovered Fan's plan and executed him.)

The people of the capital all believed that Hou's rebellion was stoked by Zhu's corruption. Zhu, in embarrassment and fear, became ill. He died in 549, with the city still under siege. Emperor Wu, still believing in his faithfulness, buried him with honor.

The author of Book of Liang Yao Silian, when summarizing Zhu Yi's life, attributed his political successes in Emperor Wu's court to his craftiness.

Tang dynasty politician Wei Zheng believed that Zhu Yi was deeply trusted by Emperor Wu of Liang but the Emperor's partial and subjective trust on him was not advisable and should be avoided by any ruler.

## In literature

Zhu Yi, along with Zhao Gao, Wang Mang, and An Lushan was listed as one of the four treacherous Chinese historical figures in the monogatari *The Tale of the Heike*. In the monogatari, the author argued that Zhu Yi caused the fall of Liang dynasty.

# United States v. Mead Corp.

***United States v. Mead Corp.***, 533 U.S. 218 (2001), is a case decided by the United States Supreme Court that addressed the issue of when Chevron deference should be applied. In an 8–1 majority decision, the Court determined that *Chevron* deference applies when Congress delegated authority to the agency generally to make rules carrying the force of law.

## Background

The Mead Corporation challenged a ruling of the United States Customs Service that classified its day planners as "diaries, notebooks and address books, bound," which were subject to a tariff.

Before *Mead*, it was clear that the *Chevron* doctrine applied to interpretations adopted in legislative rules and certain formal adjudications, but lower courts differed on whether it also applied to interpretative rules, policy statements, informal adjudications, advisory letters, and amicus briefs. In 2001, the Supreme Court finally began to shed some light on the issue.

In *Mead*, the issue was whether the court should defer to the Customs Services' interpretation of the Customs Act, as manifested by the many classification decisions its regional offices made annually. The court granted certiorari to determine the limits of *Chevron* deference.

## Decision

Justice Souter wrote that "administrative implementation of a particular statutory provision qualifies for Chevron deference when it appears that Congress delegated authority to the agency generally to make rules carrying the force of law, and that the agency interpretation claiming deference was promulgated in the exercise of that authority."

Recognizing that thousands of tariff decisions are issued each year by the 46 regional offices of the U.S. Customs Service, and that each decision has no precedential value, the Court determined that the Chevron Doctrine should not apply.

However, the Court remanded the case for the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to determine whether Customs' classification decision was entitled to deference according to its "power to persuade" under *Skidmore v. Swift*, 323 U.S. 134 (1944).

Justice Scalia was the sole dissenter in the case. Scalia believed that Chevron deference should be applied to all agency decisions that are "authoritative" and so took issue with the Court's reaffirmation of *Skidmore*, which Scalia called an "anachronism."

title: Zhu Yansi

abstract: Zhu Yansi (朱延嗣) was a general of the Chinese Tang dynasty, briefly ruling Lulong Circuit after his father Zhu Kerong's death. It is not known when Zhu Yansi was born. His father Zhu Kerong, who had been an officer at Lulong Circuit had seized Lulong Circuit from the imperial government-commissioned military governor (Jiedushi) Zhang Hongjing in 821, after the Lulong soldiers mutinied against Zhang. Zhu Kerong later received an imperial commission, but effectively ruled Lulong independently from the imperial government. Zhu Yansi was Zhu Kerong's second son. In 826, Zhu Kerong and his oldest son Zhu Yanling (朱延齡) were killed in a mutiny. Another faction of the soldiers supported Zhu Yansi to succeed Zhu Kerong. Zhu Yansi assumed the title of acting military governor. It was said that Zhu Yansi was cruel as a ruler. Less than four months later, the officer Li Zaiyi led another mutiny and killed Zhu Yansi, and further slaughtering his family. Li submitted a report to the imperial government accusing Zhu Yansi of crimes. The imperial government subsequently commissioned Li as the new military governor.

# Shout and Shimmy

"**Shout and Shimmy**" is an R&B song written by James Brown, and recorded by him and The Famous Flames. It rose to #16 on the R&B chart and #61 on the *Billboard* Hot 100.

## Background

The critic Douglas Wolk described the song as "a truly shameless ripoff of The Isley Brothers' 1959 hit "Shout"... basically the fast parts of "Shout" with the gospel inflections removed and the word 'shimmy' added." Wolk argues that Brown and The Famous Flames probably performed "Shout and Shimmy" in the October 24, 1962 concerts at which *Live at the Apollo* was recorded, but that it was left off of the album to prevent sales competition with the studio version of the song. Evidence to support this contention includes the fact that Brown customarily began his concerts with his latest hit (which "Shout and Shimmy" was at the time), and the presence of "Shout and Shimmy"'s a cappella opening ("You know I feel all right...") immediately before the first song on the album, "I'll Go Crazy". James and The Famous Flames sang and performed this song on Dick Clark's *American Bandstand*,on a telecast dated June 11, 1962. A performance of "Shout and Shimmy" was the first track on Brown & The Flames' next live album, 1964's *Pure Dynamite! Live at the Royal*, featuring a comedy skit between Brown and Famous Flame Bobby Bennett.

In two days during 12 to 14 April 1965, British rock group the Who recorded "Shout and Shimmy" as the B-side to their fourth single (third single under the name 'the Who') "My Generation", which was released on October 29, 1965. The A-side reached number 2 in the United Kingdom, but only reached number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 99 in Cashbox magazine. The song was part of the Who's repertoire from late 1964, along with several other rhythm and blues covers, including other songs by James Brown. It was ultimately dropped in 1966 once the group had written enough original material. Several other songs were recorded during the same session as "Shout and Shimmy", including "I'm a Man", "Leaving Here", "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" and two other songs written by Brown: "Please, Please, Please" and "I Don't Mind".

Their version is undisputedly greatly derived from "Shout", a song by the Isley Brothers made famous by Lulu and the Luvvers, including call- and-response lyrics throughout, similar to other songs by the group at the time, including "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere". In the US however, "Shout and Shimmy" was not released as the B-side of "My Generation", and was instead substituted by "Out in the Street", which later appeared on their debut album *My Generation*. On this release the song is dubbed "Out in the Street (You're Going to Know Me)." "Shout and Shimmy" became a rare collectible in the US, since it wasn't included on the equivalent version of *My Generation* released in America, *The Who Sings My Generation*, and instead would remain unissued until it was belatedly released as the opening song to *Who's Missing*, a collection of rare tracks by the Who was released in 1985.

An archival live performance was eventually released in the 1979 film *The Kids Are Alright*, but it was not included in the soundtrack album for that movie. It has since been included on reissues and remasters of the album *My Generation.* Ultimate Classic Rock ranked it 130 on their list of *All 245 Who Songs Ranked Worst to Best* in 2018, stating "A party record that captures an element of how frenetic these James Brown covers must have sounded at early Who gigs. A whole mess of fun.
