| *Pitchfork* | 7.6/10 |
| *PopMatters* | 5/10 |
| RapReviews | 0/10 |

Robert Christgau of *MSN Music* gave the album "A-", saying "it leads with two of hip-hop's great anti-moralizing sermons, the Snoop- and Lil Jon-powered "Go to Church" and the grinder's credo "A Bird in the Hand", then proceeds to his greatest song, the fact-filled paraplegic memoir "Ghetto Vet". It closes with "Dead Homiez" and "Cold Places", two distinct and convincing arguments for keeping ya head up and ya ass off the street". AllMusic's David Jeffries considered it a "big blunder" to have "Cold Pieces" instead of "the superior 'Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It'" and the absence of "Bop Gun", but found that the "release dates are shuffled into a running order that makes sense" and called Soren Baker's essay "informed and insightful". Ian Cohen of *Pitchfork* resumed: "against the odds, the latest Ice Cube career comp mostly succeeds in balancing his MTV hits with the trenchant deep cuts that actually made him essential in the first place".

In his mixed review, Mike Joseph of *PopMatters* saw the album as "a horrible introduction if you're being introduced to Ice Cube for the first time, but it's hard to give a thumbs-up to an album that calls itself *The Essentials* when there's so much essential material missing". Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews gave the album a derogatory 0 out of ten score, summing up with: "absolutely not essential. Important songs missing, unimportant songs included".

Within the same year, WEA issued The Very Best of Bananarama to mark the group's twentieth anniversary. The compilation only includes the group's singles that charted inside the Billboard Hot 100 or the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles except for their 1987 single "I Can't Help It". The track list is therefore the most comprehensive compilation of the group's most popular hits in the USA.

In addition, "The Wild Life", a rare soundtrack single which briefly appeared on their second album Bananarama, was included on compact disc for the first time. In addition, the versions of "Really Saying Something" and "Shy Boy" that appear on this compilation are the U.S. 7" mixes, which differ from the ones released in Europe.

title: The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis

abstract: The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis is a painting from 1818 by Jacques-Louis David, now in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. Painted during David's exile in Brussels, it was purchased by the Count von Schönborn-Wiesentheid.

# The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis

***The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis*** is a painting from 1818 by Jacques-Louis David, now in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. Painted during David's exile in Brussels, it was purchased by the Count von Schönborn-Wiesentheid. It depicts Telemachus and Eucharis, two characters in François Fénelon's 1699 novel *Les Aventures de Télémaque*, inspired by Homer's *Odyssey*. The artist's last painting of a couple from mythology, it is a pendant painting to his *Love and Psyche*.

## Background

### Commission and purchase

David began *The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis* after his 1816 exile to Brussels, following the Bourbon return to the French throne. David may have started the painting on his own initiative, or an unknown patron may have suggested the subject to him. At some point between 1817 and early 1818, while David was at work on the painting, the Count von Schönborn heard about the project. He visited David's new studio in Brussels to discuss purchasing the work. After Schönborn agreed to acquire the painting, an announcement was made in *L'Oracle*, a Brussels newspaper. It read: "This painting is destined for a great lord from Bavaria for whom it was made." The statement highlighted that a prominent figure would own the work while maintaining the Count's anonymity.

### Artistic goals

To ensure that his figures would appear as lifelike as possible, David based both Telemachus and Eucharis on live models. Though the scene is based on *Les Aventures de Télémaque,* the painting does not depict a particular event from the story. According to the art historian Mary Vidal, the work was meant instead to capture the "courtly and heartfelt affection" between the two lovers and to provide "an allegory for life's journey" by showing both Telemachus's yearning and Eucharis's longing for a better understanding of self. Fénelon's work is said to be inspired by Homer's Odyssey, and the classical tradition informed both the style and subject matter of David's *The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis*. Prior to this painting, David completed various works depicting mythological scenes such as *Love and Psyche,* which similarly depicts a mythical couple. Though *Love and Psyche* focuses much more on sexual desire than longing and emotional connection, it resembles *Telemachus and Eucharis* in its treatment of the figures and use of bold colors.

## Exhibition

Before being delivered to the Count von Schönborn, the painting was exhibited in a variety of settings. It was first displayed to the public at the Société Royale des beaux-arts et de littérature de Gand in June of 1818. The exhibition was intended to last for approximately one week, but Pierre-Guillaume-Jean van Huffel, president of the Ghent academy, asked David for permission to extend the showing. The painting remained in Ghent until June 20. From June 23 to July 12, the painting was displayed in the Musée de Bruxelles as part of a charity event to benefit hospices. The painting was never displayed in Paris, but it was well received during the exhibitions in Ghent and Brussels. Joseph Denis Odevaere, who was one of David's students, wrote a review celebrating the work's "brilliance" and "subtlety of color," describing it as "a work of nature".

## Versions

After the completion of David's original painting in 1818, a replica was created in 1822 by Sophie Frémiet. Frémiet, a student of David's, worked on this second version of *The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis* under the original artist's instruction. Frémiet went on to create repetitions of various other works that David painted during his exile in Brussels and studied his work closely as she began establishing herself as an independent artist. Frémiet's replica of *The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis* was purchased in 1822 by Didot, a French publisher. It was then displayed at the 1846 Exposition du Bazar Bonne-Nouvelle in Paris while David's original work was in Germany.

## Style and description

### Style

Like many of David's other works, *The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis* is a product of Neoclassicism. The clarity of the figures, classical subject matter, and bold touches of color exemplify the Neoclassical tradition. Uncharacteristic of other Neoclassical works, however, was the abrupt cropping of the figures, which generated both criticism and praise. German writer Georg Christian Braun argued that David's unconventional cropping was "ill-suited for historical compositions." More recent commentary has described the work as "proto-Romantic" for its portrayal of complex emotions.

### Figures

Mary Vidal has argued that David wished to show Telemachus's "catalytic experience of his own humanity," which is a central theme in Fénelon's story. Telemachus is faced with a choice between duty and passion in the story, and David's painting, according to Vidal, depicts the pain that he experiences in giving up his youthful desires to stay with Eucharis. David's focus on the couple and lack of any detailed surroundings forces the viewer to consider the emotions of each figure. The image also depicts a dog gazing upward at Telemachus which draws the viewer's attention to this figure. After close inspection, viewers can identify the longing and sorrow that Telemachus experiences. Telemachus, though making the heroic decision to search for his father, is evidently distraught that he must leave behind Eucharis. Eucharis expresses a similar sorrow and, in her subtle gesture of touching Telemachus's face, gives the work a sense of romantic intensity.

### Color and clothing

David's use of vibrant primary colors set against a dark background draws attention to the main figures. The gold details highlight the quiver and horn that Eucharis and Telemachus hold, indicating that they are hunters. The details also draw upon Greek and Roman art. Eucharis wears hunting gear comparable to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and chastity. Telemachus, on the other hand, is only partially clothed to remind viewers of Classical heroes, who are often depicted nude. In alluding to figures of Classical virtue, David conveys that the relationship between the figures involves a genuine emotional connection rather than simply sexual desire.


title: The Framework

abstract: The Framework was a new-wave inspired indie-rock band from Toronto, Ontario, formed in late 2006. In January 2007, the band's song "She Thinks I'm Famous" was a finalist in the Radiostar Songwriting Contest sponsored by Mix 99.9. Shortly after forming, the band received press in high-profile publications, including Metro Daily and InsideE Magazine. The Framework headlined both Canadian Music Week and NXNE in Toronto in 2008 and were named one of five top acts by InsideE Magazine. The band's lineup consists of Ryan Isojima (vocals/guitar), Chris Graham (vocals/guitar/programming), Rayanne Lepieszo (synths), Scott Winter (bass) and Jon Fedorsen (drums). The Framework's live show has garnered attention for being energetic and enthralling. Live, lead singer Isojima has been described as a combination of frenetic dance moves, unparalleled charisma, inspired swagger, charm, stage presence and magnetism. Singing lead on some songs, Graham has been described as being equally compelling but with a wholly differential energy, endearingly coy. To date the band has released two EPs, 2007's The Framework and 2008's The Framework Reworked, as well as their full-length debut album in 2009 titled Before Tonight, distributed by Last Gang Labels. The Framework has worked with high-profile remixers The RAC and vitaminsforyou. Both the band's debut EP and debut full-length album were self-produced by Chris Graham and Ryan Isojima, and recorded, mixed and mastered by Graham at a combination of rehearsal spaces and Graham's home studios. The Framework's sound has been described as hooky, synth-heavy rock & roll, like packed club, sweaty college kids freaking the tight-pantsed funk type rock, containing melodic hooks, infectious guitar riffs, killer vocals and stadium-worthy instrumentation, as well as being catchy, but not annoying, hard rocking but still fun.

The Framework's live show has garnered attention for being energetic and enthralling.

## History

### Early history

The members of The Framework were all in various bands or performed as solo artists in and around Toronto before they came together. Isojima performed as a singer-songwriter under the name Chisai Jackson, during which time he had several development deals in the works, released several independent albums and was an early contestant on the television show *Rockstar: INXS*. Graham performed and released a self-produced album as a solo-songwriter, as well as an EP as The Chris Graham Band, whose song "Call" became a finalist and eventual audience favourite in a televised songwriting contest. Lepieszo performed as a singer-songwriter including opening for Emm Gryner, and Winter and Smith as part of the rock band The Hitch.

### *The Framework* EP era (2007)

As a lark, Isojima created a Myspace page in October 2006 for a group called The Framework that at that point had no members and no music, listing Graham and Lepieszo's names with a rhythm section to be decided later. Isojima pitched the idea to Graham of starting this new band together, pointing him to the new Myspace page, and Graham agreed despite having decided only a day prior to take a break from performing after touring his solo albums for the few years prior. Both looked forward to the opportunity though, as they had never before collaborated as songwriters despite being friends for years and sharing the stage numerous times while pursuing their respective solo careers.

Graham and Isojima met soon after at Graham's home studio to work on the first song that would launch the band's career, "She Thinks I'm Famous". Following this successful session, Lepieszo heard the demos and eagerly signed on. Graham and Isojima continued to collaborate on what would be the remainder of the songs for their first self-titled EP. On a whim, before they had a full band or performed live, Graham and Isojima entered "She Thinks I'm Famous" in the Mix 99.9 FM Radiostar Contest, and the song placed third, resulting in the band's Myspace page being flooded with traffic.

At this point Graham approached drummer Tobias Smith, whom he knew through musical circles in Toronto, to flesh out the band's roster. Smith then referred bassist Scott Winter, a former bandmate from the band The Hitch. The Framework spent January to July 2007 rehearsing for what would be a full house for their CD release party for *The Framework* EP at the Rivoli on July 14, 2007. Hype began to build towards the release as former friends and fans of the band members' previous solo careers anticipated what the new collaboration would sound and look like.

From this point on, the band made a mutual pledge to use their past industry experience to their advantage. They agreed to only play one Toronto gig a month - including high-profile performances at the Horseshoe and the Mod Club - a conscious decision to avoid overexposure and ensure well-promoted shows.

### *The Framework Reworked* era (2008)

In early 2008 The Framework released *The Framework Reworked*, a six-song digital-only EP of remixes by high-profile remixers such as The RAC and vitaminsforyou, based on the original six songs from the first *The Framework* EP.

### *Before Tonight* era (2009-2011)

The Framework signed with Last Gang Labels in April 2009, to release their first full-length album *Before Tonight*. This represented a collection of songs created and recorded in various phases over the previous two years, including some featuring tracks recorded during *The Framework* EP sessions. Despite the amount of time spent on the album, it has been reported by the band that the total out of pocket costs for recording were only $130 because it was entirely self-produced. Despite this, the album has been described as "impeccably polished, so razor sharp", and a "continuous rock candy party with pervasive synth assaults and liberal amounts of studio gloss". MuchMusic described it as "jam packed with great tracks, each one as good as the next".

The album reached No. 4 in sales in Toronto for the week of August 18, No. 2 on the CIUT 89.5 campus radio chart, and the video for the single "Always Left Behind" reached No. 3 on the MuchMoreMusic Top10 Video Countdown.

The Framework shot the video for the song "Starlight" around New Year's Eve at the end of 2009, directed by Steven Grayhm and starring Kirsten Prout. The video features scenes shot around Toronto landmarks such as Dundas Square and the Distillery District.

In late January 2011, The Framework's remaining members parted ways. Graham began fronting a new band, FIRExFIRE, with Framework alumni Winter and Fedorson, whose first gig was opening for former Framework drummer Tobias Smith's band Atomic Tom at the El Mocambo in February, 2011.

In February 2012, Isojima and Lepieszo announced their highly anticipated new band, Mr. and Mrs. Fox, and the release of their forthcoming EP *States* (available in spring 2012). The first single, "Glass Houses", was released on their Bandcamp on February 14, 2012.

# The Framley Examiner

***The Framley Examiner*** is a parody of a newspaper in a small provincial English town, created as a website and later a book. It is written by Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris.

## History

The *Framley Examiner* originally began as a website, started in 2001. Its success then spawned a book *The Framley Examiner* (ISBN 0-7181-4579-8) described on the cover as "the book of the website of the newspaper". A second book, *Historic Framley* (ISBN 0-14-101528-4), was later published, produced in association with Framley Museum.

Its writers are regular contributors to *Viz* magazine. The book *Bollocks to Alton Towers* (ISBN 0-7181-4791-X), published in April 2005, by the same authors, is a non-fiction book unrelated to The Framley Examiner. The website was last updated on 23 July 2013, but more recent posts have been made to social media accounts.

In May 2020, the *Framley Examiner* website was updated to reveal the launch of a crowd-funding appeal via Unbound with the aim of publishing the now out-of-print Framley Examiner along with additional, previously unpublished material.

The father of Joel and Alex Morris worked as a local journalist in Chelmsford, Essex, but the group have dismissed any connection of Framley to the town, saying that "It wasn't meant to be targeting one particular rag."

# The Greek Passion

***The Greek Passion*** (Czech *Řecké pašije;* Halbreich No. 372) is an opera in four acts by Bohuslav Martinů. The English-language libretto, by the composer, is based on Jonathan Griffin's translation of the novel *Christ Recrucified* by Nikos Kazantzakis.

## Background

*The Greek Passion* exists today in two complete versions that differ from each other both musically and dramatically. Martinů wrote the original version from 1954 to 1957. He offered this original version of the opera in 1957 to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the music director, Rafael Kubelík, and the general administrator, David Webster, had approved the score for production. However, the company then demurred on the production after intervention by Sir Arthur Bliss. Following the rejection of the first version as being too radical first by the Royal Opera House and then by the Zurich Opera and the Viennese publisher Universal Edition, Martinů reworked the opera during 1958-59 and produced the second version.

The second version received its premiere at the Zurich Opera House on 9 June 1961 after Martinů's death in 1959. It was first produced in the UK at Welsh National Opera on 29 April 1981, conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras. The first US production was in 1981, at the Metropolitan Opera, in a production by the Indiana University School of Music. The first version was later restored under the supervision of Aleš Březina. The premiere of the restored version was at the Bregenz Festival on 20 July 1999 and this production was later performed at Covent Garden in April 2000, and first performed in the Czech Republic in January 2005. The work's first performance in Greece itself was in Thessaloniki in 2005, using a Greek translation by Ioanna Manoledaki, based closely on the wording of Kazantzakis's novel; the conductor was Christian von Gehren. The opera became the first by Martinů to be presented at the Salzburg Festival in the summer of 2023, in a production of the revised version by Simon Stone sung in English, it was conducted by Maxime Pascal with Sebastian Kohlepp as Manolios and Sara Jakubiak as Katerina.

## Synopsis

The setting is Lykovrissi, a Greek village, where a performance of the Passion Play is scheduled to occur at Easter. As the story proceeds, the villagers cast in the play take on the personalities of their religious characters.

### Act 1

The priest Grigoris distributes the roles for the following year's performance of the Passion Play. Café owner Kostandis is allotted James, the pedlar Yannakos Peter, Michelis is given John, shepherd Manolios is selected as Christ; and Katerina, a widow, is chosen to play Mary Magdalene. Panait, her lover, is given the role of Judas much against his wish. The actors are blessed and exhorted to live the life of their roles in the coming year. Manolios is engaged to Lenio who asks him when they are to be married, but he cannot think about marriage any longer. The villagers think of their respective roles and about how they correspond to their lives.

At dawn, singing is heard and a group of Greek refugees arrives in Lykovrissi from a village destroyed by the Turks, led by their priest, Fotis. Father Grigoris is concerned about the welfare and safety of his fellow villagers and of possible conflicts. One female refugee dies from hunger, but Father Grigoris blames the death on cholera and uses this to expel the refugees from the village. Only Katerina offers them practical assistance, but Manolios, Yannakos, Kostandis and Michelis take her lead, find food, and show them the nearby Sarakina mountain where the refugees may rest.

### Act 2

The moral strength of the 'apostles' is tested. Katerina has fallen in love with Manolios and reveals this to Yannakos. The elder Ladas talks to the simple Yannakos about profiting from the refugees. The latter falls for the dream of wealth rushes off to the refugee camp of wants to relieve the refugees of their possessions.

Meeting Manolios he warns him about Katerina who then meets Manolios at a well where they reveal their mutual attraction, but Manolios rejects her and she is desolate.

Yannakos views the ceremony of the laying of the foundation stone of a new village on the mountainside, where an old man asks to be buried along with the bones of his ancestors. Yannakos, shamed by the poverty and welcome of the refugees, confesses to Fotis that he has come to cheat the refugees, but now gives all his money to help them.

### Act 3

Manolios has been dreaming: of Lenio's reproaches, of Grigoris' exhortations to be worthy of his role, and of Katerina as the Holy Virgin. Lenio enters as he wakens to ask for one last time about their wedding, only for Manolios to reply ambiguously. When Manolios has left, Lenio is lured back by the piping of the shepherd Nikolios.

Manolios convinces Katerina that their love must be only spiritual, in the same manner as Jesus and Mary Magdalene. She decides to sell her goats to help the refugees.

Manolios appeals to the villagers to help the refugees, and is well received. However the village elders see a threat to their authority. Manolios is gaining a greater spiritual hold over the villagers, and the elders devise a plan to drive Manolios out of the village.

### Act 4

During Lenio and Nikolios's wedding feast Father Grigoris warns them about the preaching of Manolios and excommunicates him. Michelis, Yannakos and Kostandis stay loyal to Manolios. Manolios appears and proclaims that the world's suffering will bring bloodshed. The refugees come down from the mountain in a state of misery. While Manolios preaches charity towards the refugees, Grigoris incites the villagers and Panait kills Manolios on the church steps as refugees enter. The villagers and the refugees mourn Manolios. Fotis leads the refugees away, in search of a new home.

# The Friend (Quaker magazine)

***The Friend*** is a weekly Quaker magazine published in London, UK. It is the only Quaker weekly in the world, and has been published continuously since 1843. It began as a monthly and in January 1892 became a weekly. It is one of the oldest continuously published publications in the world still in operation. Others (e.g. *Punch*) which began publication before *The Friend* have had lengthy interruptions in publication and/or have closed down.

## Independence

*The Friend* is completely independent from Britain Yearly Meeting, although since 2004 it has occupied space in Friends House. It is owned by The Friend Publications Ltd., a trust which also publishes *Friends Quarterly*. The Trustees of *The Friend* are appointed from members of Britain Yearly Meeting.

The Trustees appoint the Editor who, along with the other members of staff, is entirely responsible for the day-to-day management of the magazine, and its content. Among the initial trustees were Josiah Forster, George Stacey, John Hodgkin.

## Editorial policy

As an independent publication, *The Friend* is free to report critically on trends within Quakerism in Britain and around the world, and on the governance of Britain Yearly Meeting. It also reports on the activities of Friends and Friends' groups and it is a forum for theological debate. There is a great deal of opinion in the magazine, and the letters page provides a forum for readers to express their views.

One of the ways *The Friend* exercises its responsibility to give readers an independent viewpoint is by covering Meeting for Sufferings, the standing consultative body of Britain Yearly Meeting, which meets five times a year. Meeting for Sufferings often deals with controversial issues, on which *The Friend* reports and comments.

## *The Friend* Online

In recent years, *The Friend* has begun offering all its content online to subscribers. It is intended to make the issues for the period 1914 to 1918 available as a digital archive.

## The printing of *The Friend*

For many years, *The Friend* was printed by an old Quaker firm, Headley Brothers, of Ashford, Kent. Headley Brothers went into administration in 2017. From 23 June 2017 *The Friend* appears in full colour, printed by Warners Midland plc.

*The Friend* appears every Friday. It has ISSN 0016-1268.

In its entire history, *The Friend* has failed to appear twice, due to paper rationing during the Second World War.

Between 1892 and some time after 1931, the magazine was printed by The Orphans Press, Leominster.

# The Gayle Tales

"**The Gayle Tales**" is the 13th episode of the fifth season of the animated comedy series *Bob's Burgers* and the overall 80th episode, and is written by Lizzie Molyneux and Wendy Molyneux and directed by Ian Hamilton. It aired on Fox in the United States on March 1, 2015.

## Plot

Gayle arrives at Bob's Burgers in tears because her date for the evening Stacy canceled and she had theater tickets to see “Yarnival”. Desperate to get out of the house after being grounded, the kids compete to be Aunt Gayle's "date" for the evening via an essay contest.

### The Ballad of Gayle and Jo-Gene

Gene writes a story about him and Linda being a country western duo called Lindette and Jo-Gene. They are playing a show where Lou Belchera (Louise), a Hollywood singing agent, is in attendance. After the show, Lou offers to manage Lindette as a solo artist. Frustrated, Jo-Gene leaves and goes to a Soda Bar.

He encounters Gayle singing while working as a waitress and Jo-Gene, realizing her vocal potential, teams up with her to form a new duo as Gayle and Jo-Gene. They win the competition (Despite Lindette sabotaging their performance) with a song loosely based on the song "We'll Get Ahead Someday" by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, and Belchera takes them on and takes them to Hollywood to see the Hollywood sign and meet Scott Bakula. Lindette ends up marrying the drunk in the Soda Bar (Bob).

### Lady Chatter-teeth’s Lover

Tina writes a romantic story in a Regency era-style setting reminiscent of *Pride and Prejudice*. Said story is about the Chatter-teeth sisters Gayle, Tina, Eugenia (Gene) and Louisa (Louise). Tina longs to marry Lord Jimmy, Jr. but according to the law of the land, she cannot do so until Gayle marries first. Tina attempts to find Gayle a match but can only think of Theodore the blacksmith (Teddy).

Then Sir Bob Belcher, Lord and heir of the Belcher Burger fortune shows up and the sisters offer Gayle up to him. Linda briefly interrupts the story not wanting Gayle to be married off to Bob.

The night of the ball arrives and everyone from the town is there, Bob and Gayle dance all evening but Linda appears as Sir Bob’s loud, rude, American wife-to-be that he is only marrying for money. This causes Gayle to fall deathly ill with pooping cough. They call the vicar around to give her the last rites who happens to be Scott Bakula. This makes Gayle all better and they Quantum Leap into the future to the day of the double wedding of Gayle and Scott Bakula and Tina and Lord Jimmy, Jr.. Bob and Linda also have a baby but it was born with a tail because they were cousins. This leads to Linda to iterate that she and Bob are not cousins, or at least that they know of.

### Gayle of Thrones

Louise writes a story based on the TV series Game of Thrones set in “Catsteros” (a parody of Westeros). Gayle is Queen of Catsteros who is receiving an official visit from Litter-boxia on behalf of her sister Lindaryen (Linda). Tina presents her with Gene from the House of the Unfarting, a Warlock with disappearing powers which he uses to steal her cat dragons (Jean Pawed Van Damme, Pinkeye and Mr. Business).

Gayle sets out on a quest with the bravest knight, Knight Louise to find the cat dragons. Along the way they get held prisoner three times. Eventually they arrive at Litter-Boxia where there are white talkers everywhere (Multiple Teddy’s telling stories). They arrive at the castle and challenge Lindaryen to a duel to the death. Lindaryen unleashes the Mort-ain (Mort) to fight in the duel but Louise succeeds by slapping him with her Burgarean Slapper Sword and making him fall into the pit of ravenous porcelain babies.

Bobdor (Bob), who is Lindaryen’s fool, is insulted when Lindaryen mentions that she should get a new fool as he is not skinny or hot. This causes him to throw Lindaryen into the pit. The cats are rescued and they fly home on them. Scott Bakula suddenly appears and Gayle falls for him. Bobdor realizes he is a third wheel in all this and throws himself off the cat dragon.

### Epilogue

Gayle is impressed with all three of the kids’ stories. They make her feel that she is talented and wonderful and that she does not need Stacy. Then Stacy walks in offering to go on the date as his emergency canceled, they go out on the date. The kids are frustrated that they are still grounded.

We then reveal that the kids were grounded for pulling a prank on Linda at the supermarket where Tina and Louise got her to open the ice cream freezer while Gene grabbed her legs. This caused her to fall over into a pile of maxi-pads and fart. Linda does not see the funny side of things as she had to buy all the maxi-pads and farted again when she had her bags handed back.

Linda eventually agrees that it was funny and that they are grounded for the evening while Linda watches over them in the apartment. They leave the restaurant to do so and Bob is upset that they all left before closing time. Bob says that he should’ve gone with Gayle”.

## Reception

Alasdair Wilkins of *The A.V. Club* gave the episode a B−, saying, "As a whole, “The Gayle Tales” has ambition and jokes to spare, and that proves to be a good thing, as it’s enough to make up for the fact that it’s just a tad too complicated for its own good." The episode received a 1.4 rating and was watched by a total of 3.03 million people. This made it the fourth most watched show on Fox that night, behind *Brooklyn Nine-Nine*, *The Simpsons* and *The Last Man on Earth*.

abstract: The Hammer of Thor is a board game for 2–362 players published by Nova Game Designs in 1980.

text:
# The Hammer of Thor: The Game of Norse Mythology

***The Hammer of Thor*** is a board game for 2–362 players published by Nova Game Designs (originally Gameshop) in 1980.

## Gameplay

*The Hammer of Thor* is a game in which each player chooses a champion from Norse mythology to be the victor at the battle of Ragnarok between the Norse gods and the giants. Players spend the game in wilderness adventures, gathering and strengthening their forces and burnishing their reputation.

### Components

* 17" x 22" map board printed on glossy paper
* 120 counters
* explanation of abilities card
* random encounter chart
* 4 character sheets
* a 20-sided die
* 677 cards printed on cardstock
* rule book

### Victory conditions

At the final battle of Ragnarok, one side, Good or Evil, will triumph. The player on the winning side with the highest reputation wins the game.

## Publication history

The game was designed by Joe Angiolillo and published by Gameshop in 1980. Gameshop then changed their name to Nova Game Designs, and published a second edition that added leader action cards to the components.

## Reception

In the October 1980 edition of *Military Modelling* (Vol. 10, No. 10), Charles Vasey called the game "very impressive" and also noted that despite "very considerable research", that the game was "not difficult to play." He concluded, "One is staggered by such design work."

In the May 1981 edition of *Dragon* (Issue #49), Bill Fawcett thought that the game "ought to be a good, if not a great game \[...\] But the game isn't nearly as much fun to play as it should be." He blamed this in part on the number of components, specifically over 600 cards, and he also found the production values were poor. He noted the small map board "quickly becomes cramped and verges on being unplayable when four or more players are involved." And despite complex but understandable rules and several good concepts, Fawcett found that "The game itself, however, is almost overwhelmed by all of the 'chrome' built into the rules. The individual parts and concepts are good, but the framework of the game doesn’t always lend itself to the easy application of all the details." He concluded, "If you are deeply interested, or even casually interested, in Norse mythology, you’ll appreciate and enjoy the game, despite its technical drawbacks. If you’re looking for a fast-moving, multi-player game, this might not be a good choice; it takes quite a bit of effort on the players’ parts to get the game 'off the ground' and rolling smoothly."

In the September 1981 edition of *The Space Gamer* (Issue No. 43), W.G. Armintrout thought the game more amateur than professional, saying, "*Hammer of Thor* was a labor of love on the part of the designer. Too bad Nova didn't assign him as a developer. The game is not playable as published, nor are any simple fixes going to help – I recommend *Hammer* only to Norse mythology freaks who want to rewrite major sections of the rulebook."

In Issue 32 of *Phoenix* (July–August 1981), John Lambshead noted the high cost of the game, but was not impressed by the components, calling the artwork of the cards "uniformly uninspiring," and noting that some of the cards were of uneven size, and the log sheet was a cheap photocopy. Lambshead was not sure whether *The Hammer of Thor* was designed as a board game with element of role-playing, or a role-playing game played on a board, and found little help in the unindexed rules. He also noted that because only one player at a time is active, everyone else has to sit and wait. "It gets very boring for the uninvolved players awaiting their turn." He concluded, "I cannot see this game being of general interest although it is the sort of thing that may well come to have a small but enthusiastic following."

## Other recognition

A copy of *The Hammer of Thor: The Game of Norse Mythology* is held in the collection of the Strong National Museum of Play (object 112.6518).

Almost twenty years later, Eloise and her nieces and nephew still live in the house, which Eloise wants to sell so she can work on living her own life. However, when her mother begins to make the children compete against each other to see who will keep the house, secrets begin coming to the surface that forces everyone to either take a deeper look at their interpersonal relationships with each other or run the risk of having their relationships shatter.

# The History of Trauayle

***The History of Travel*** (printed between 1555 and 1599) is a collection of travel writings published and printed by Richard Jugge (1514 – 1577). Its full title is *The history of trauayle in the VVest and East Indies, and other countreys lying eyther way, towardes the fruitfull and ryche Moluccaes : As Moscouia, Persia, Arabia, Syria, Ægypte, Ethiopia, Guinea, China in Cathayo, and Giapan : vvith a discourse of the Northwest passage*. The work records exploration narratives by sailors and explorers during the Age of Exploration.

## Contents

The work contains European exploration fiction (mostly Spanish and Italian accounts) which details narratives of seafarers and merchants who travelled between the 14th and 16th centuries, including Sebastian Münster, translated into English, editions of Oviedos' *De la natural hystoria de las Indias* (Of the natural history of the Indies), Antonio Pigafetta's *Primo viaggio intorno al globo terraqueo* (First trip around the terraqueous globe), Peter of Anglerias' Decades 1-3 of *De orbe novo decades* (Decades of the New World), and Giacomo Gastaldi's *Debate and stryfe betweene the Spanyards and Portugales* appear detailing some of the dominant *traffick* routes of the European powers. The territories visited included the West and East Indies, Moscovia, the Middle East, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guinea, China and Japan.

The text was still in circulation by the early 17th century and was printed in London by Richard Jugge in 1577. The text was a follow up edition of Richard Eden's travel work *Decades of the Newe Worlde*. The text was later put into Elizabethan compendiums by Richard Hakluyt in his *Principall Navigations, Voiages, Traffiques and Discoueries of the English Nation* (1589 and 1599). Some editions contain woodcut diagrams and historiated initial and floriated detailing.

## Giapan

Richard Wylles (an English Catholic writer, b.1546 - 1577) another editor was active between 1558-1577 and co-edited the 1577 edition with Eden, penning a section entitled *Of the Ilande Giapan, and other litle Iſles in the Eaſt Ocean* through pages 251 - 260, thought to be one of the earliest accounts on Japan in English. The account describes how Willes ascertained 'two hitherto unknown documents that contained descriptions of both China and Japan \[with a\] ... report on China \[that\] had come into his hands by way of a Portuguese merchant who had been captured and imprisoned by ... the Ming imperial court.' Wylles had 'acquired a handful of private letters about "the Japonish nation", written by the Jesuit monk, Padre Luis Frois. These letters had been written to fellow Jesuits and were not intended to be studied – still less published – by 'hereticke' Protestants.' The Jesuits had begun missionary work in 1550 under Francis Xavier in Japan and thus the name had become Latinized to 'Giapan' or more commonly as 'Iapon'.

The documents caused interest into trade with Japan, as there were large reported silver deposits mentioned by travellers like Marco Polo and with 'so much snow that the houses being buried in it, the inhabitants keep within doores' there was thought to be an excellent wool market in Japan. The text also notes the dangers of doing business, of the *great piracie* attacking Ming merchants.

The text also describes the Japanese themselves being '‘tractable, civill, wittie, courteous \[and\] without deceit', their diet and noting the practice of honourable suicide carried out by a samurai 'lancing his body acrosse, from the breast downe all the belly, murthereth himselfe’. The Ainu of Hokkaido were noted by the monks as ‘savage men, clothed in beasts skinnes, rough-bodied, with huge beards and monstrous muchaches'.

This account would later inspire a failed voyage to Japan via the Kara Sea chartered by Hakulyt by English merchants in 1580 in the *George* and *William*, with only the George returning by December 25 and the William destroyed by ice flows traveling along the Northwest passage.

# The Heart Part 5

"**The Heart Part 5**" is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was surprise released on May 8, 2022, through PGLang, Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records, as a promotional single to help anticipate the release for Lamar's fifth studio album *Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers*, where it was later included as a streaming bonus track. It is the fifth part in his "The Heart" song series following "The Heart Part 4" in 2017, and his first solo release in over four years. The song received five nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, including for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, eventually winning the latter two.

## Background

On August 20, 2021, Kendrick Lamar revealed through a blog post on his website that he was in the process of producing his upcoming fifth studio album; his final project under Top Dawg. He shared the album's name and release date through a pgLang-headed letter on April 18, 2022. Following the announcement, his website was updated with a new page entitled "The Heart", which contained 399 empty computer folders. News of the song's release was accidentally leaked by music streaming service Spotify, who teased the song through a description of Lamar's playlists before being changed.

## Lyrics and composition

"The Heart Part 5" is a conscious hip hop record driven by soul and jazz influences. Lamar wrote the song alongside its producers Johnny Kosich, Matt Schaeffer and Jake Kosich (known collectively as Beach Noise). Leon Ware and Arthur "T-Boy" Ross received posthumous songwriting credits for the interpolation of the 1976 single "I Want You", as performed by Marvin Gaye.

Lyrically, "The Heart Part 5" follows in the footsteps of its previous parts, and Lamar's third studio album *To Pimp a Butterfly* (2015), by offering social commentary on the climate of African-American culture and institutionalized discrimination. The song also delves into personal themes of empathy, death, and depression from different perspectives.

## Music video

The music video for "The Heart Part 5", directed by Lamar and Dave Free, was released alongside the song on May 8, 2022. In the video, Lamar performs the song against a red wall, while using deepfake technology to transform himself into six modern Black American figures: in order, they are former football player and convicted felon O. J. Simpson, rapper Kanye West, actors Jussie Smollett and Will Smith, former basketball player Kobe Bryant, and rapper Nipsey Hussle. The deepfakes were made by *South Park* creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's studio Deep Voodoo.

Each of the six deepfakes perform a verse from the song that reflects on their own perspectives. Simpson's verse, which addresses itself as being done "for the culture", mentions a "bulletproof rover" as a reference to his 1994 Ford Bronco chase. West's verse reflects on his battle with bipolar disorder and how often he has been taken advantage of. Smollett's verse reflects on the hypocrisy surrounding the media coverage of his 2019 hate crime hoax and subsequent arrest. Smith's verse reflects on the backlash he received following his slapping incident of Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards. After a moment of silence from Lamar, Bryant's verse reflects on being an influential figure through hard work and dedication. Hussle's verse, the longest in the video, takes the form of a soliloquy in the aftermath of his 2019 murder, saying that he forgives his killer but that his "soul's in question".

## Critical reception

"The Heart Part 5" was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Lamar's tribute to Hussle, a lifelong friend, receiving universal praise amongst critics and his peers. Hussle's longtime partner, actress Lauren London, described the music video as "powerful art." *Pitchfork* crowned the song with its "Best New Track" honor, with Dylan Green writing, "The convincingness of the deepfakes is mixed, to say the least, but they amplify Lamar's words and serve to visualize a complicated lineage through Blackness and the pressures of celebrity. \[...\] Perspective constantly changes the playing field of life and Lamar is preparing us for what feels like his biggest shift yet."

In a five-star review, Ben Beaumont-Thomas of *The Guardian* called the song "a heartstopping call for uplifted humanity", adding that Lamar's "flow is as charged and acute as ever as he lays out a manifesto of radical empathy." Highlighting Lamar's "own love for his community", Beaumont-Thomas praised how he "divines" Marvin Gaye's "innate social conscience, changing the title line from one of lust to one of hope, using the urgent disco rhythm to perfectly impart the seriousness of his feeling." Kyann-Sian Williams of *NME* writes that "In the final version of his form (he's said this will be his last album on the Top Dawg Entertainment label), Lamar – or Oklama – is taking ownership of his elder role in the rap world. He sees his influence and now wants to be a voice of reason and morality, not just a coveted rap star."

# The General Died at Dawn

***The General Died at Dawn*** is a 1936 American drama film that tells the story of a mercenary who meets a beautiful girl while trying to keep arms from getting to a vicious warlord in war-torn China. The movie was written by Charles G. Booth and Clifford Odets and directed by Lewis Milestone.

It stars Gary Cooper, Madeleine Carroll, Akim Tamiroff, and Dudley Digges. Director Milestone has a cameo role.

## Plot

General Yang, a warlord with control of one of China's twelve provinces, plans to overtake them all with his army to corner the markets of silk, rice, and opium. However, the opposition in General Wu knows that Yang is lacking in enough men to hinder any chance of invasion, complete with desertion in certain numbers minus the most loyal. As such, Wu searches out for O'Hara, a soldier of fortune, to go to Shanghai to buy weapons from a gunrunner in Brighton that is selling to the first bidder. The money is kept in a belt that was funded by peasants under the oppression of Yang. In the way of all of this is the Perrie family, made up of Peter and his daughter Judy. Peter is dying soon and plans to take some of the money so Judy can see America. She reluctantly goes with her father's plan to distract O'Hara while Yang makes his way across the train to capture him in order to buy the weapons.

The romantic plan works to capture O'Hara, but Judy has second thoughts about the trip to America. Complicating matters is a man named Leach who tries to get a cut from Peter's theft. Peter hides the money in the lining of his suitcase and ignores his daughter's desire to not engage with the money. O'Hara escapes capture by Yang and gets to the house where Wu is awaiting him. Peter tries to save himself and his hiding place by shooting him in the hand, but O'Hara gets the upper hand and kills him. Yang arrives and takes Judy, O'Hara, and Wu all captive on the boat and wants the money. Leach, trying to play at the hand of the General, is left to be shot by his men. Judy is prepared to tell Yang where the money is to save the lives of the other two, but Yang cruelly orders her to kiss O'Hara goodbye first. A man named Brighton finds the money in a stupor looking for alcohol when he wakes to see Yang's soldiers. When he angrily states the currency being American and tries to escape the clutches of soldiers, he stumbles onto an incoming Yang while wielding a knife that mortally wounds the general. O'Hara tries to argue that Yang must let the folks live because otherwise the world will believe disloyal guards killed Yang. With the guns at hand, O'Hara, trying to save the lives of Judy and Wu, then pleads with him to let them live so they can tell the story of the general's greatness. Yang, convinced, orders his men to kill each other for the sake of honor before he himself dies. Dawn breaks as Judy and O'Hara embrace.

## Cast

## Production

There are several scenes in the film that show startling originality at the time. At one point, the camera focuses on a white doorknob, and then dissolves to a white billiard ball to connect disparate scenes. In another scene, two characters have a conversation in which they speculate about the fates of other characters in the drama. The answers to their questions appear in screen segments in the corners of the screen, marking an unusual use of split screen to join narrative.

The main character, O'Hara, is based on the real-life Anglo-Canadian Jewish adventurer Morris Abraham "Two-Gun" Cohen. During the early 1930s, Cohen ran guns for various warlords in mainland China.

This is reported to be the first film to use foam latex prosthetics. Makeup artist Charles Gemora applied sponge rubber eyelids for one of the actors.

## Reception

Writing for *The Spectator* in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a mildly good review, calling it "as good as anything to be seen on the screen in London". Greene noted that it was "a melodrama of more than usual skill", but criticized the end of the film and suggested that but-for the "rather ludicrous ending, this would have been one of the best 'thrillers' for some years".

John Howard Reid called it one of the fifty finest films Hollywood ever made.

## Awards and nominations

The movie was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Akim Tamiroff), Best Cinematography, and Best Music, Score.

In 1938 an animated cartoon, called *The Major Lied Till Dawn*, was produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions. In it, a major tells tall tales about his hunting adventures to a boy who resembles Freddie Bartholomew. The character of the major may have been influenced by Colonel Heeza Liar.

A third-season episode of the TV show *M\*A\*S\*H* was entitled "The General Flipped at Dawn" (broadcast September 10, 1974). In the episode, Harry Morgan appears as Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele, a batty general who is convinced that the 4077th needs to move closer to the front lines, to be near the action. (Morgan formally joined the cast of *M\*A\*S\*H* in Season Four as the much-saner Colonel Sherman T. Potter.)

*The General Danced at Dawn* is a collection of short stories by George MacDonald Fraser first published in 1970.

**The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church in Korea (GAPCK)**, also known as **Yejang Hapdong** (Korean: 예장합동) or just **Hapdong**, is an Evangelical Presbyterian denomination, which is the biggest Christian church in South Korea. The headquarters of the church is in Seoul, South Korea.

## History

In 1959 at the 44th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea the denomination divided for the third time (1951, 1953, and 1959) into two equal parts due to the church's view of the issue of ecumenism and the World Council of Churches. The church was divided for and against Park Hyun-nyon, president of the Presbyterian Seminary Society of the General Assembly. The anti-Park party is called 'Tonghap' (the united body) and the pro-Park party is called 'Hapdong' (the union body).

The divisions from all three splits during the 50s still exist. The divisions from the third split between Tonghap and Hapdong respectively are still the largest Presbyterian dominations in South Korea.

The Hapdong section represented more theologically conservative wing than the TongHap. The Tonghap group maintained its affiliation to the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches and allowed relatively wide range of theological positions.

Hapdong was the more conservative group in the schism. Its conservative doctrinal basis made it possible to unite later with the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Koshin) in 1960. But this union did not last and a group of Koshin churches separated a few years later, although about 150 Koshin congregations stayed with HapDong. In 1961, another group separated to form the Bible Presbyterian Church, later to be called the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Daeshin).

At the 64th General assembly in 1979 the church suffered another division. Kim Hee Bo the President of the ChongShin Seminary advocated for the historical-critical approach to the Pentateuch. The church divided into a mainline and non-mainline groups. The debate centered about two issues: the authorship of the Pentateuch and the relationship with the ChongShin Seminary. The non-mainline section fragmented in the following years.

In the 1990s the Hapdong branch experienced phenomenal growth. By the early 2000s, Hapdong developed into the largest denomination in South Korea with more than 2.2 million communicant members, 5,123 congregations, and 6,300 ordained pastors. These figures differ from the statistics offered by Chongshin Seminary, which claims the church has 11,000 congregations and about 3 million members.

In South Korea there are about 15 million Protestants, about 9 million are Presbyterians in more than 100 denominations.

## Doctrine

Hapdong is a theologically conservative denomination. The Hapdong group subscribe the historic Presbyterian Confessions, such as the Apostles' Creed, the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism

According to the Apostle Paul's instructions, there are no women ordinations. However, at the 2024 109th General Assembly, the preaching rights of female ministers were officially approved.

### The stance on homosexuality

Hapdong declare that homosexuality goes against God's creation order, calling it anti-biblical and unethical, and continue opposing the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex partner rights. They emphasize the importance of maintaining a biblical understanding of gender and marriage. Additionally, they strongly oppose the comprehensive anti-discrimination law, citing concerns over the violation of fundamental rights such as freedom of conscience and religion.

## Theological Education

The Chongshin University and Chongshin Seminary are the only official educational institutions of the Hapdong Church to train pastors.

## Missions

The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church in Korea created the Global Missions Society (GMS) in South Korea to support evangelism and missions. The Global Mission Society, the missionary body of the Hapdong General Assembly of Presbyterian Churches of Korea, is the single largest Presbyterian missionary organization in South Korea and the world with over 2,500 missionaries working in Europe, Asia, Russia, Latin America, Africa.

## Controversies

### Light & Truth Church

Pastor Kim Myung-jin of Light and Truth Church, along with two leaders, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Hapdong), have been sentenced to prison for "coercion" and "aiding and abetting coercion" after being accused of abusive discipleship training, which included forcing members to eat feces and depriving them of sleep. The Presbyterian Church in Korea (Hapdong) is facing public backlash for remaining silent and failing to take action against these criminal acts.
