abstract: The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope is a large oil-on-canvas painting created by Henri Rousseau in 1905. Following Scouts Attacked by a Tiger the previous year, The Hungry Lion was the second jungle painting to mark Rousseau's return to this genre after a 10-year hiatus caused by the generally negative reception to his 1891 painting Tiger in a Tropical Storm. The Hungry Lion features a jungle scene of thick green foliage lit by a deep red setting sun. In the foreground, a lion bites deeply into the neck of an antelope. Other animals are visible in the dense undergrowth: a panther watches from the right, an owl stares out of the background holding a bloody strand of meat in its beak in the centre, with a second bird to its left, and dark ape-like shape with gimlet eye lurks to the left. Rousseau based the central pair of animals on a diorama of stuffed animals at the Paris Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, entitled Senegal Lion Devouring an Antelope. Rousseau's first jungle painting, Tiger in a Tropical Storm, was rejected by the Académie de peinture et de sculpture for their official Paris Salon, but he was able to show it at the 1891 Salon des Indépendants. Despite his increasing reputation, Rousseau continued to exhibit his works at the annual Salon des Indépendants, but The Hungry Lion was first shown at a third show, the Salon d'Automne, in 1905, alongside works by Matisse and Derain. Rousseau wrote a longer subtitle or caption to accompany his painting: The magazine L'Illustration printed a copy of the work in its edition of 4 November 1905, with works by Matisse, Derain, Cézanne and Vuillard. The avant-garde works on display at the 1905 Salon d'Automne were decried by art critic Louis Vauxcelles as, "Donatello chez les fauves", contrasting the paintings with a Renaissance-style sculpture displayed in the same room at the Grand Palais. Vauxcelles’ comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in Gil Blas, a daily newspaper, and the term Fauvism passed into popular usage for the type of work exhibited, of seeming simplicity in vibrant colours. The very term Fauvism may have been influenced directly by Rousseau's The Hungry Lion, although Rousseau was not himself counted as a Fauve. Despite their apparent simplicity, Rousseau's jungle paintings were built up meticulously in layers, using a large number of green shades to capture the lush exuberance of the jungle. Rousseau's work continued to be derided by the critics up to and after his death in 1910, but he won a following among his contemporaries: Picasso, Matisse, and Toulouse-Lautrec were all admirers of his work. The Hungry Lion is now held by the Fondation Beyeler and is exhibited at their gallery at Riehen, near Basel, in Switzerland.

# The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope

***The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope*** (*Le lion ayant faim se jette sur l'antilope*) is a large oil-on-canvas painting created by Henri Rousseau in 1905. Following *Scouts Attacked by a Tiger* the previous year, *The Hungry Lion* was the second jungle painting to mark Rousseau's return to this genre after a 10-year hiatus caused by the generally negative reception to his 1891 painting *Tiger in a Tropical Storm*.

*The Hungry Lion* features a jungle scene of thick green foliage lit by a deep red setting sun. In the foreground, a lion bites deeply into the neck of an antelope. Other animals are visible in the dense undergrowth: a panther watches from the right, an owl stares out of the background holding a bloody strand of meat in its beak in the centre, with a second bird to its left, and dark ape-like shape with gimlet eye lurks to the left. Rousseau based the central pair of animals on a diorama of stuffed animals at the Paris Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, entitled *Senegal Lion Devouring an Antelope*.

Rousseau's first jungle painting, *Tiger in a Tropical Storm*, was rejected by the Académie de peinture et de sculpture for their official Paris Salon, but he was able to show it at the 1891 Salon des Indépendants. Despite his increasing reputation, Rousseau continued to exhibit his works at the annual Salon des Indépendants, but *The Hungry Lion* was first shown at a third show, the Salon d'Automne, in 1905, alongside works by Matisse and Derain. Rousseau wrote a longer subtitle or caption to accompany his painting:

| *Le lion, ayant faim, se jette sur l'antilope, la dévore. La panthère attend avec anxiété le moment où, elle aussi, pourra en avoir sa part. Des oiseaux carnivores ont déchiqueté chacun un morceau de chair de dessus le pauvre animal versant un pleur! Soleil couchant.* | "The lion, being hungry, throws itself on the antelope, \[and\] devours it. The panther anxiously awaits the moment when it too can claim its share. Birds of prey have each torn a piece of flesh from the top of the poor animal which sheds a tear. The sun sets." |
| --- | --- |

The magazine *L'Illustration* printed a copy of the work in its edition of 4 November 1905, with works by Matisse, Derain, Cézanne and Vuillard.

The avant-garde works on display at the 1905 Salon d'Automne were decried by art critic Louis Vauxcelles as, "Donatello chez les fauves" (Donatello among the wild beasts), contrasting the paintings with a Renaissance-style sculpture displayed in the same room at the Grand Palais. Vauxcelles’ comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in *Gil Blas*, a daily newspaper, and the term Fauvism passed into popular usage for the type of work exhibited, of seeming simplicity in vibrant colours.

# The House Across the Bay

***The House Across the Bay*** is a 1940 film directed by Archie Mayo, starring George Raft and Joan Bennett, produced by Walter Wanger, written by Myles Connolly and Kathryn Scola, and released by United Artists. The supporting cast features Lloyd Nolan, Walter Pidgeon and Gladys George.

## Plot

A gangster Steve Larwitt (George Raft) falls for one his singers Brenda Bartley (Joan Bennett) at his nightclub. They marry and live the high life for awhile. He gets set up and is sent to Alcatraz on charges of racketeering, for ten years. She suspects his lawyer Slant Kolma (Lloyd Nolan) having a hand in this problem. She rents an apartment across San Francisco Bay with a view of the prison. She is befriended by another woman Mary Bogale (Gladys George)whose husband is also jailed but also wants to have fun. One night they meet a man Tim Nolan (Walter Pidgeon) who becomes attracted by Brenda and starts pursuing her, much to her annoyance. He finally wins her over. However, she still loves her husband. Kolma tries to blackmail her and trap her, having sold off her jewelry for his "defense". He is jealous because he saw her at a restaurant with Tim. Brenda finally confides in Mary and tells her about her problems. She returns to singing to earn money. When she visits her husband in jail, that shyster lawyer is waiting for her. She hides the truth from Steve about the money being gone. Tim sees her singing at the nightclub and talking with customers. He continues to pursue her but although she has feelings for Tim, she wants to be faithful to her husband because she knows her love is the only thing that helps him get through his days. The treacherous lawyer is so full of jealousy, he goes to tell Steve about Brenda and Tim. Desperate, Steve escapes and looks for Brenda. He tries to kill her but Tim arrives in time with a gun and tells Steve about the lawyer setting him up and stealing their money. He escapes the nightclub and he tells Brenda to wait for him and at a street corner. He goes looking for the lawyer and finds him and kills him. Then returns to the bay waterfront, swims out and allows the prison posse trolling the water to capture him.

## Cast

## Production

The film was based on an original story by Myles Connolly. In 1939 it was reported Warner Bros were considering buying it as a vehicle for James Cagney and Marlene Dietrich. They could not come to an agreement and Walter Wanger bought the rights. Wanger made the film as part of what was meant to be a slate of six films for United Artists. Filming was pushed back so Wanger could make *Foreign Correspondent*.

George Raft was loaned by Warner Bros, dropping out of *It All Came True*, in which he was replaced by Humphrey Bogart. Walter Pidgeon was borrowed from MGM. Director Archie Mayo was borrowed from Sam Goldwyn. Bennett was under contract to Wanger.

Filming started 16 October 1939.

Some scenes of Pidgeon and Bennett in an airplane were filmed by Alfred Hitchcock as a favor to Wanger, for whom Hitchcock had directed *Foreign Correspondent* the same year.

Bennett and Wanger married after filming completed.

## Reception

### Box office

The film recorded a loss of $101,334. It caused tension between Raft and Warner Bros, to whom he was under long-term contract, because in this United Artists film, Raft played a gangster who loses in the end – the sort of role he had refused to play for Warner Bros.

### Critical

The *New York Times* called it a "somewhat less than fascinating tale of one of the more glamorous Rock-widows of Alcatraz" which was "old hat and scarcely worth its maker's bother—or yours." The *Los Angeles Times* thought it was "curiously (and unnecessarily) complicated."

title: The Knight at All Times

text:
# The Knight at All Times

***The Knight at All Times*** (*უჟამო ჟამის რაინდი*) is a 1999 Georgian-language novel-menippea by author Miho Mosulishvili.

## Outline

This extensive work (approximately 95 700 words) reflects the spiritual state of Georgia during the last two centuries (1801–1993), and it’s read with inextinguishable interest. The author together with the protagonist of the novel, Vache Andronikashvili is looking for The Knight of All Times, and the reader also is looking for him.

The genre of the novel as identified by the author as Menippea.

The novel is a mixture of eccentric and scandalous events that ends with Carnival – one of the main character of menippea – which brought together the living and the dead.

Novel time – background covers Georgia's spiritual adventure in the 19th and 20th centuries. This a small country aspiration for independence from the Russian Empire; or this is the adventure of a family, the story of Andronikashvili’s seven generations from Russian Empire's annexation (1801) until Abkhazian war (1993).

The author's narrative is based on approved historical references and sources, and it follows the testimony of chronicles. So the reader has a convincing feeling of real events. Not only the historical and fictional characters, but the gravestones have spoken and we see the scenes of the heroic past lively.

The novel is built on cinematographic principle of the parallel narrative: it describes the persecution and destruction of members of the secret organization “Giorgi” in 1983 by State Security Committee (KGB) officers; on the other hand, there are tragicomic or dramatic episodes of seven ancestors of Papua Andronikashvili, and we see what happened to this noble Georgian family after Russian Empire invasion (1801) in Georgia.

Local or worldwide memorable stories are described by the skilled writer, who feels perfectly nuances and their capacities. Good example of above is the passage with terrible story of beheading of the priest Zirak, Gija and Datia. Unmerciful attorney of KGB enjoys the spectacle: he forces his subordinates to roll the heads downhill to see which one is faster and to amuse himself. Mihko Mosulishvili acknowledges, that this is the real story – the same terrible fact took place in the village Arashenda, when the Bolsheviks conquered Georgia for second time in 1921, and it happened to the ancestors of the author.

The depressed hero of Abkhazian war (1992–1993) Papua Andronikashvili decides to commit suicide and the imaginary, strange guest – Archimandrite Iostos Andronikashvili prevents him. Cleric brings his descendant the book, written by himself – “The Chest of Mystery” and tells him the ancestors’ order – to postpone the suicide until he finds The Knight at All Times.

From this moment the novel continues in two dimensions: on the one hand further developments can be considered as an image of objective reality, and on the other as the shifts in Papua Andronikashvili’s soul. He is the only man, who stayed alive in the novel – and the protagonist is visited by already dead ancestors and their contemporaries.

The Chest of Mystery, created by sinful hand of archimandrite Iostos is bound organically in the plot of the novel. The patrimonial chronicles of Shishioni, or Andronikashvili are told in different languages. According to the book, the eternal existing is ordered by god on the generation of shishions with green eyes and the book tells that the age of domination of the Scythians is to be ended by seven generations of Shishions (Scythians were called the Russian invaders in Georgia).

In 1983 the secret organization “Giorgi” and the members of this organization set a goal of freeing their homeland from the rule of Russia through the peaceful disobedience. Their conspirative activities – editing of the journal “Amirani”, preparation for spreading leaflets and the secret meetings did not escape from the watchful eye of KGB, based on distrust and seeking the victims. The loyal officials of expansionist policy of the orthodox Russia value the personal benefit and career more than the independence of the insulted country, so they guard and pursue the young people, who dream of freedom of their homeland, the KGB officers plan their arrest and enjoy the results of their gendarmes activities in advance. Immoral and greedy Russian doesn’t disdain anything, struggling explicitly or implicitly against the people who seek the ways to freedom.

In the vision of dying Vache, who climbed on the eaves of the abandoned church and was shot by KGB snipers seven descendants of great and incomparable warrior Mahkaz Andronikashvili merged into a single entity and fought the biblical dragon...

Only after viewing the enchanting and fantastic carnival (where the Russian writers Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy demand from Georgia to liberate Russia from colonial oppression (we are dealing with a situation typical of the carnival, when the opposite is true), the reader finds himself the main character of the novel – yes, in the novel the reader is The Knight at All Times, who has to fight the biblical dragon – or to try to overcome the evil in his own soul and if he can’t win, at least to weaken it. This is the most important idea of the novel.

title: The Jolly Fisherman

abstract: The Jolly Fisherman is a poster created by artist John Hassall in 1908 after he had been commissioned by the Great Northern Railway (GNR). It is regarded as one of the most famous holiday advertisements of all time and is believed to have influenced the success of Skegness, Lincolnshire as a holiday destination. Hassall was paid 12 Guineas for his work, and the original painting hangs in the town hall at Skegness. The poster depicts a fisherman skipping along the beach, with the slogan "Skegness is SO bracing". There are different versions of the poster, however, the fisherman and the slogan are always part of the design; one such later design, promoted by the LNER, showed the same fishermen design being tugged along the beach by a toddler hanging onto his scarf. John Hassall visited Skegness in 1936, and was quoted as saying "[that Skegness] was even more bracing and attractive than I had been led to expect." He is now the mascot for Skegness and celebrated his 100th birthday in 2008, and author, Bill Bryson, put the image on the front cover of his 2015 book, The Road to Little Dribbling. However, the publishers assumed that the image was in the public domain, and so did not obtain permission from the copyright holders, Skegness Town Council. In 2015, the campaign group PETA, wrote to the town council suggesting that the image of the fisherman be dropped in favour of one showing a flatfish, with the tagline of "A happy plaice". PETA said that the mascot "evokes images of cruelty to animals". "The Jolly Fisherman" is also the name of places located in Lincolnshire, such as a restaurant, a resort, among others.

# The Harleian Miscellany

***The Harleian Miscellany*** is a collection of material from the library of the Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer collated and edited by Samuel Johnson and William Oldys between 1744 and 1753 on behalf of the publisher Thomas Osborne. Its subtitle was **A Collection of Scarce, Curious, And Entertaining Pamphlets And Tracts, as well In Manuscript As In Print, Found In The Late Earl Of Oxford's Library, Interspersed With Historical, Political, And Critical Notes**.

## Provenance

The "late Earl of Oxford" whose library was the source of the texts could refer either to Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer (died 1724), or to his son, Edward Harley, 2nd Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer (died 1741). A passage at the beginning of the first volume emphasizes the role of Robert Harley, the first earl, in the creation of the library:

> There can be no Objection against the Prefixing the reasons for Creating the Right Honorable Robert Harley, Esq., a Peer of Great-Britain, and Earl of Oxford; especially, as the valuable Collection, intended to be published in this Form, was made by the Greatness of his Knowledge in all Branches of Learning, and at the vast Expence of that noble Family. ...his Library consisted of more than 100000 different Authors: He, I say, cannot be denied the first Place in this Miscellany, which esteems it an Honour to bear his Name.

Edward Harley, the second earl, who had died only a few years before *The Harleian Miscellany* was published, was also a bibliophile who had greatly expanded the library.

# The Lewiston Daily Sun

***The Lewiston Daily Sun*** was a newspaper published in Lewiston, Maine. Established in 1893, it became the dominant morning daily in the Lewiston-Auburn city and town area. In 1926, its publisher acquired the *Lewiston Evening Journal* and published the two papers until they merged into the *Sun Journal* in 1989.

## History

Henry Wing founded *The Lewiston Daily Sun* on February 20, 1893. Hoping to compete with the Republican-leaning *Lewiston Evening Journal*, it proclaimed itself in its first issue as "the only Democratic daily paper published in central Maine." Five years later, it was purchased by George W. Wood, who merged the paper with his weekly *Maine Statesman* and changed its editorial stance. In its first two decades, circulation quadrupled from 2,000 copies per day to 8,000, thanks largely to the arrival of Rural Free Delivery in the region.

In 1926, Wood acquired the *Lewiston Evening Journal* and began printing the two papers from 104 Park Street in Lewiston. On his death in 1945, Wood left the paper to his general manager and nephew by marriage, Louis B. Costello. Costello's son Russell, who succeeded his father in 1959, merged *The Sun* and *Evening Journal* in 1989.

## Content

### Editorial stance

*The Sun* embraced an "independent Republican" label from 1898 into the late twentieth century, as opposed to the *Evening Journal*, which identified as "independent." Still, manager Costello stressed the importance of journalistic objectivity to those who worked under him, and both papers gained a reputation for being socially progressive but not so much as to alienate readers averse to change.

title: The Librarians (band)

abstract:
The Librarians were a power pop band from Berkeley, California who formed in 1999 by Damon Larson and Ryan Gan. They released one album, The Pathetic Aesthetic, in 2002, which received 4 out of 5 stars from Allmusic. The group was famous mostly for their raucous live act:
But (Ryan) Gan, the anti-frontperson frontperson of the Librarians, isn't even fazed. Though on the record, Gan's job is limited to backup vocals and tambourine for vocalist-guitarist Damon Larson, he explodes into his full potential onstage with spastic tambourine beating and poster-worthy one-hand-on-the-hip-the-other-thrust-skyward poses. His performance is truly horrifying in its cheesiness, and yet it's unnervingly mesmerizing. It's a kind of innocence-lost scenario: everyone reaches the same guilty conclusion, "Christ, why don't more bands do this?" Ryan Gan received his Master's in Library and Information Science in 2006 and is now employed as a librarian and professor in Torrance, California. Prior to this and the formation of the band, Gan played the euphonium at Magnolia High School in Anaheim, California between 1990 and 1994. Gan has since picked up the euphonium again and has playing in a community band. As 2023, Gan has started a noise project called Insufficient Despair. Since leaving the Librarians, Damon Larson has continued his musical career. His newest band, the Paranoids, is a fixture on the San Francisco music scene.

# The Last Bison

**The Last Bison**, formerly known as **Bison**, is an American indie folk band formed in Chesapeake, Virginia. The Last Bison originally dubbed their sound "mountaintop chamber music," combining elements of alternative indie-folk with classical sensibilities. Their first album *Quill* was released independently in September 2011 and received critical praise, noting the band's complex arrangements, refined lyrics, and vocal harmonies.

## History

The band initially received airplay on WROX-FM in Norfolk, Virginia. James Steele, the station's program director, stated that "Switzerland", the first single from their debut album, prompted the biggest audience response of any tune in his five years at the station. The band was signed to Universal Republic records in 2012, and released 3 projects with the label: the *Inheritance* EP, the *Inheritance* album, and the *Sleigh Ride* EP. The option to continue for another album cycle with Republic was not renewed, and in February 2014 the band became independent. In April 2014, The Last Bison began recording their third full-length album, *VA*, which was released independently in September 2014. They released an EP, *Dorado*, in 2015.

Ben Hardesty's (vocals and guitar) songwriting bears sonic resemblance to groups such as Fleet Foxes, Mumford and Sons, and The Decemberists. Folkhive stated "Dare I say that \[The Last\] Bison is to folk what Arcade Fire is to indie rock? Boasting seven members and a sound seemingly born on the tree-covered mountaintops of Virginia, \[The Last\] Bison lays down expansive and yet imminently listenable folk with an original feel I've not experienced in quite some time". The band incorporates traditional folk instruments with a reed organ, percussion, and classical strings. Independent Clauses stated "\[The Last\] Bison's debut album *Quill* uses the seriousness of Fleet Foxes' grounded sound as a framework, layering strings, bells, and more on top. "Iscariot" and "The Woodcutter's Son" have a darkly pastoral bent that recalls pre-*The King Is Dead* Decemberists." The Last Bison has headlined the Norva Theatre in Norfolk as well as performed with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The Daily Press said of Bison's live performance, "The stars of \[the\] show did not disappoint. Bison skillfully performed complex arrangements and delivered songs with passion and sensitivity \[...\] \[The Last\] Bison is a unique musical outfit that creates an unusual energy on stage."

## Name change

According to an e-mail sent out by the band on July 20, 2012, they officially changed their name from Bison to The Last Bison to avoid confusion with an identically named band.

## Members

* Ben Hardesty – lead guitar, vocals, percussion
* Amos Housworth – cello, bass guitar

# The Last Blockbuster

***The Last Blockbuster*** is a 2020 documentary film about Blockbuster LLC's last store, located in Bend, Oregon. It was released on December 15, 2020, by 1091 Pictures.

## Synopsis

The documentary tells the story of the rise and fall of Blockbuster Video, a video rental business that was popular during the 1990s. The documentary explores how Blockbuster put independent video rental stores out of business by striking revenue-share deals with film studios (allowing Blockbuster to negotiate lower prices in exchange for a cut of the rental fees), and how Blockbuster itself collapsed as a result of poor management and the financial crisis of 2007–2008. The film also documents the business model and continued survival of the last remaining Blockbuster store, in Bend, Oregon.

## Cast

The film follows Sandi Harding, the general manager of the last store over the course of a number of years. Actor and *Clerks* director Kevin Smith discusses the kind of businesses that Blockbuster put out of business and how they inspired his debut film. Other interviewees include Adam Brody, Samm Levine, Ron Funches, Paul Scheer, Doug Benson, James Arnold Taylor, Jamie Kennedy, and Brian Posehn.

## Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 68% based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's consensus reads, "Slight but entertaining, *The Last Blockbuster* doesn't add much to the saga of the fallen video rental store, but should satisfy nostalgic customers in the mood for a quick diversion." Metacritic gave it a score of 59, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

title: The Masked Rider (1919 film)

abstract: The Masked Rider is a 1919 American silent Western film serial directed by Aubrey M. Kennedy. Scenes were filmed in Mission San Jose in San Antonio, Castroville and Bandera, Texas, and in Coahuíla, Mexico. The serial was long thought to be lost in entirety. In 2003, however, The Serial Squadron acquired 22 color-toned 35mm nitrate reels of a surviving print of the serial which had been recovered from the estate of a former Pennsylvania theatrical projectionist who had condensed the serial many years ago, removing opening titles and leaving out first reels of several later chapters which contained more dialogue than action. Two reels of Chapter 1, the conclusion of Chapter 3 and most of Chapter 11 are missing. Chapter One and the conclusion of Chapter 3 were recreated by The Serial Squadron using local actors. The condensed version of the serial, restored by Eric Stedman and presented in 9 chapters, with opening and closing titles, is available on dvd. The Masked Rider is considered to be the first film serial about a major masked mystery-Western character who is referred to by his name in the title, and can thus be considered a prototype "Lone Ranger" of sorts. The 15-episode serial is also significant for being the earliest surviving film appearance of actor Boris Karloff. His appearance in the film is disputed by some but most sources, including the 1970s Karloff biography by Peter Underwood, list Karloff as being in the film. Karloff himself provided information for the Underwood book in which the serial is listed in his filmography as "The Masked Raider" which is how he remembered it. Karloff had been hired to play the villainous Rodriguez and multiple other roles in the rest of the serial, but did not arrive in San Antonio in time to shoot Chapter 1 so his part was recast and after he did arrive at the Shamrock studio he was given pay for a day's work in chapter 2. The Masked Rider's all-black costume was adapted for use by Zorro in the Douglas Fairbanks feature which was released later in 1919. Up to that point Zorro had been portrayed in magazine illustrations as wearing a sombrero and colorful Mexican attire.

*The Masked Rider* is considered to be the first film serial about a major masked mystery-Western character who is referred to by his name in the title, and can thus be considered a prototype "Lone Ranger" of sorts. The 15-episode serial is also significant for being the earliest surviving film appearance of actor Boris Karloff.

Karloff himself provided information for the Underwood book in which the serial is listed in his filmography as "The Masked Raider" which is how he remembered it. Karloff had been hired to play the villainous Rodriguez (who, after causing a great deal of trouble, is shot down by the Masked Rider in the first chapter) and multiple other roles in the rest of the serial, but did not arrive in San Antonio in time to shoot Chapter 1 so his part was recast and after he did arrive at the Shamrock studio he was given pay for a day's work in chapter 2. The Masked Rider's all-black costume was adapted for use by Zorro in the Douglas Fairbanks feature which was released later in 1919. Up to that point Zorro had been portrayed in magazine illustrations as wearing a sombrero and colorful Mexican attire.

## Plot

This violent Western serial takes place along the Mexican border. When warned by Captain Jack of the Texas Rangers of impending raids, elderly rancher Bill Burrel swears that Mexican cattle rustler Pancho won't do any riding or shooting in the area again. Pancho's lieutenant Santas, (who desires his boss's daughter Juanita's hand, and has been rejected), overhears Burrel and decides to make things rough on Pancho by stirring up trouble for both sides. Pancho and his raiders, sworn to drive the settlers out of the border country, attack the Burrel ranch and kill Burrel, and his son Harry swears to make Pancho pay. In the conflict that follows, Pancho is knocked out and his hands purposely crushed in a press by masked men, who he thinks are Texas Rangers. The torture was actually carried out by the traitorous Santas and his friend Rodriguez, but Pancho blames the Texas Rangers for his injuries and swears revenge, and they all resolve to kill each other.

In the succeeding chapters, Pancho and his gang menace Harry Burrel and his sweetheart Ruth Chadwick, and kidnap Harry's younger sister Blanche Burrel, inflicting tortures upon them. Pancho's evil demands are carried out by the black-garbed Masked Rider, who rides onto the scene without warning to kidnap, assault, or shoot the Texas Rangers, their relatives, and even their horses. Pancho's daughter Juanita is alarmed by her father's cruelty and does everything she can to prevent his murdering any of his captives whenever she can. She also falls in love with Captain Jack Hathaway of the Rangers.

Rugged "Ma" Chadwick, Ruth's mother, helps the Rangers when Blanche and later Ruth are both kidnapped. Interesting shooting locations include a hacienda complex in Sabinas, Mexico, an ancient mission in San Antonio, the gigantic Medina Dam (at which one stupendous action sequence was apparently improvised as the scene does not appear in the original shooting script), and the "Hole in the Wall", a labyrinth-like passage through the mountains on the Medina River.

# The Ludlows

**The Ludlows** were a popular Irish folk band in the 1960s. Their name was derived from Woody Guthrie's song "Ludlow Massacre", concerning a fatal miners' labour dispute in Ludlow, Colorado, in 1914.

## History

Formed in 1964, and originally called the Ludlows Ballad Group, then the Ludlow Trio, they consisted of Sean Loughran, from Carrick-on-Suir, Paddy Roche and Margaret O'Brien. Margaret O'Brien had been a member of the Radio Éireann Choral Society, where she preferred to sing in Irish. Loughran had spent some years in Scotland where he had absorbed Scottish folk music. The following year Dubliner Jim McCann took the place of Paddy Roche.

In July 1965 they had a hit with "The Butcher Boy" (a variation of "Died for Love") and also recorded "Yesterday's Dream". By this time they were touring Ireland and Britain and appearing on TV and radio. In 1966 they were the first Irish folk group to have a no. 1 hit, which was Dominic Behan's "The Sea Around Us", which remained at the top spot for four weeks. They followed this up with a satirical composition of their own, "Johnny Lad". In that year they also performed two songs for the Irish National Song Contest, one of which, "The Wind Through the Rafters" came second and entered the Irish hit parade. They recorded an album, *The Wind and the Sea*, with Pye Records.

By 1967 Gerry Cairns had replaced Sean Loughran. The group broke up at the end of 1967. Margaret O'Brien and Jim McCann embarked on solo careers. McCann later joined The Dubliners. Gerry Cairns went to Scotland.

abstract: The Loser is a novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1983.

# The Loser

***The Loser*** is a novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1983.

## Plot introduction

The novel does not take place at the time of the events recounted, but at the time its narrator recalls them. There are three main characters: the narrator (who is the only survivor), Glenn Gould, who died a natural death at fifty-one, and Wertheimer who committed suicide some time later. The novel consists almost entirely of recollections and ruminations relating to the relationships between the three. Wertheimer and the narrator were students in a piano class taught by Vladimir Horowitz at the Mozarteum in Salzburg in 1953, where they met Gould, then a young Canadian piano prodigy.

## Plot summary

In Mozarteum in Salzburg in 1953 the main characters meet a young Canadian prodigy who plays the Goldberg Variations miraculously and who, they quickly come to realize, is a greater pianist than even their teacher—indeed, "the most important piano virtuoso of the century," as the narrator puts it in the novel's opening sentence.

The encounter with Gould affects both characters decisively for almost three decades, as they experience an endless series of personal and intellectual travails. Gould’s talent triggers the suicidal tendencies of his two colleagues: so great is the impact of Gould's genius on the other two that, even as it nourishes them, it destroys them: they realize that Gould represents an artistic ideal to which they cannot hope to aspire. So the narrator eventually decides to give up the piano in favour of philosophy, and spends much of his subsequent time composing a rambling, never-completed essay entitled "About Glenn Gould". Wertheimer, who had been a very promising virtuoso himself, follows suit, abandoning music and moving into the "human sciences", the meaning of which is left vague. Eventually, Wertheimer's behaviour becomes more and more erratic and self-destructive; he alienates all his friends, and tyrannises his devoted sister. It is Gould who, with his "ruthless and open, yet healthy American-Canadian manner" first calls Wertheimer, to his face, "The Loser" ("Der Untergeher"—a much more evocative word, *lit.* "the one who goes under"). As Wertheimer comes to see the accuracy of this epithet, he gradually loses his grip on life.

## Allusions to actual events

Bernhard and Gould never met in real life; however, Gould did play twice in Salzburg: the Bach D Minor Concerto with Dimitri Mitropoulos on 10 August 1958, and a Sweelinck-Schönberg-Mozart-Bach recital on 25 August 1959.

## Narrative style

The novel is written in the form of a continuous first person interior monologue, with no paragraph indentations and a high number of run-on sentences, obsessive repetitions, unexplained uses of italics, and alienating leaps (without transition) from verb tense to verb tense.

## Adaptations

The Brooklyn Academy of Music commissioned a one-act chamber opera by David Lang based on the novel, which had its premiere in September 2016.

# The Mocking Program

***The Mocking Program*** is a science fiction novel by American author Alan Dean Foster, published in 2002.

## Plot

A hard-boiled police procedural set in a megalopolis called the Montezuma Strip, which stretches along the old U.S.-Mexican border. When police inspector Angel Cardenas investigates the case of a male corpse found with most of its internal organs missing, the victim turns out to have had two identities - one as a local executive, the other as a Texas businessman. The plot thickens when the victim's booby-trapped house nearly kills Cardenas and his partner. The author makes use of a vast array of futuristic elements; notably, sapient apes led by gorillas and intelligent rogue computers that commit computer crimes.

While the book does not state this, this is a continuation of a series of short stories featuring the same main character, written by Foster and initially published in genre magazines under the pen-name of James Lawson, and then collected under his own name in the Warner book *Montezuma Strip* (1995).

# Totontepec Mixe

**Totontepec Mixe**, called **North Highland Mixe** in Wichmann (1995), is a Mixe language spoken in Mexico, in the town of Totontepec Villa de Morelos, Oaxaca.

## Phonology

Mixe has phonology is remarkable due to its complex system of vowel duration contrasts in addition to glottalization. There is a palatalized series of all consonant phonemes (as in Russian, or Irish) and possibly a fortis/lenis distinction in the plosive series, the recognition of which however is obscured by a tendency towards allophonic voicing of consonants in voiced environments.

### Consonants

/β, βʲ/ are heard as glides \[w, wʲ\] in other dialects.

Palatalized sounds /tsʲ, nʲ/ can also have allophones as \[tʃ, ɲ\] in free variation.

Sounds /p, t̪, k/ are heard as \[β, d̪, ɡ\] in intervocalic positions.

### Vowels

Syllable nuclei vary in length and phonation. Most descriptions report three contrastive vowel lengths. The other types of phonation have been variously termed checked vowels, creaky voice vowels and breathy voice vowels.

Initially, The Fines sent a crew to capture Trump's speech, unaware of what was about to happen, before losing contact with their cinematographer Caz Rubacky and seeing the events of January 6 United States Capitol attack happen. Following the attack, The Fines decided to change course and make the film about the attack, with A24 agreeing.

The Fines did not purchase any footage shot by insurrectionists, instead using other sources.

## Release

The film was released on video on demand on May 3, 2024. Initially the film was set to be released on Amazon Prime Video alongside video-on-demand, but this plan was rolled back. The distribution of the film was criticized by multiple outlets, including participants, Jamie Raskin and Mel D. Cole, with Cole strictly participating in the film due to the involvement of A24. The film's release was compared to other A24 documentaries receiving releases with little fanfare including *My Mercury* and *Open Wide*.

## Reception

### Critical reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of six critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.8/10.

Noah Gittel of *The Washington City Paper* wrote: "This is the power of the documentary form. Never again must we forget our own nightmares. Especially when they come true." André Hereford from the *Metro Weekly* gave the film four out of five stars writing: "The Sixth delivers an urgent eyewitness chronicle of the Capitol under siege from people who feared for their lives that day."

title: William Amory Underhill

abstract: William Amory Underhill was a public servant, lobbyist, and philanthropist prominent in his native Florida and in Washington, D.C. After graduating from Stetson University in DeLand, Florida in 1936 with a bachelor's degree in law (LLB), Underhill worked as a local attorney in DeLand until the outbreak of World War II. During World War II, Underhill served as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy, shepherding prisoners of war across the Atlantic, until 1944 when he was assigned to then-Senator Harry S. Truman, who was campaigning for the Vice Presidency. After Truman assumed the Presidency, and following the end of the war in 1945, Truman named Underhill to lead the National Young Democrats. Following a year in that post, Underhill joined the U.S. Justice Department, working his way up to Assistant Attorney General for the Lands Division. In 1952, Underhill left the Justice Department to work as an attorney and lobbyist, particularly for Florida citrus concerns. In that capacity until his death, Underhill represented citrus growers on numerous issues, including the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In later years, Underhill was well known for his support of numerous charitable causes, including his alma mater Stetson University, St. Leo College, and Florida House in Washington, D.C. Having divided his time between DeLand, Florida and Washington, D.C. for decades, Underhill died at his DeLand home on September 7, 1999 of natural causes.

# Paris–Roubaix Femmes

**Paris–Roubaix Femmes** is a one day women's bicycle race on cobbled roads (or pavé) in northern France, held annually in early April. It is part of the UCI Women's World Tour. The equivalent men's race is a cycling monument, and after the Tour of Flanders and Liège–Bastogne–Liège, is the third to stage a women's edition.

## History

Paris–Roubaix is one of cycling's oldest races, and was first held in 1896. Paris–Roubaix is famous for rough terrain, mud and cobblestones, or pavé (setts) – the race has been nicknamed *l'enfer du Nord*, or *Hell of the North.* Punctures and other mechanical problems are common and often influence the result.

In the early 2000s, French cyclist Marion Clignet recalled asking if the organisers of Paris–Roubaix would organise a women's edition of the race, with Jean-Marie Leblanc (who worked for the organisers) replying that they would not.

In the late 2010s, the women's peloton pushed again for the race, with Iris Slappendel stating that "we would love to have a Paris–Roubaix". In 2018, Union Cycliste Internationale president David Lappartient pushed for the race, stating "I dream of a Paris–Roubaix Feminine" in an interview with *L'Équipe*.

The announcement of the inaugural women's edition of Paris–Roubaix came as a surprise addition to the revised 2020 UCI Women's World Tour calendar. The race was scheduled for 25 October 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first edition of Paris–Roubaix Femmes took place in 2021, with Lizzie Deignan winning following a 80km solo attack described by commentators as one of the greatest Roubaix rides of all time. Paris–Roubaix Femmes is held on a Saturday in early April, with the men's race held the day after.

## Course

The Paris–Roubaix Femmes course uses the same roads and cobbled sectors as the men's race – albeit over a shorter distance (around 120 to 150km) – before finishing in the Roubaix Velodrome. Editions of the race have so far started in Denain, with 17 sectors of pavé including the famed Carrefour de l'Arbre and the Mons-en-Pévèle – both ranked at "five stars" in difficulty. The course is maintained by *Les Amis de Paris–Roubaix*, a group of fans of the race formed in 1983. The *forçats du pavé* seek to keep the course safe for riders while maintaining its difficulty.

Organisers noted they consider it "too dangerous" to include the five star cobbled sector Trouée d'Arenberg due to its proximity to the start in Denain, but they also noted that they "do not rule out that we will pass through ... in the future".
