title: Murder of Elyse Pahler

text: 15-year-old Elyse Pahler's body was discovered near her home in Arroyo Grande, California, in March 1996. She had been raped and murdered there eight months earlier by acquaintances Jacob Delashmutt, Joseph Fiorella, and Royce Casey. The perpetrators apparently returned to her corpse and had sex with it on several occasions. The body was located after Casey confessed to the crime following a conversion to Christianity. All three eventually pleaded no contest to her murder and are now imprisoned and serving life imprisonment.

text: The trio lured Elyse from her house with the stated intention of killing her as part of a Satanic ritual, although the crime bears many of the hallmarks of similar sexually motivated murders. In their defense, the defendants said they had needed to commit a "sacrifice to the devil" to give their heavy metal band, Hatred, the "craziness" to "go professional".


title: Murder of Elyse Pahler

text: David and Lisanne Pahler claimed that the Slayer songs "Postmortem" and "Dead Skin Mask" (from the albums "Reign in Blood" and "Seasons in the Abyss", respectively) gave the three killers detailed instructions to "stalk, rape, torture, murder and commit acts of necrophilia" on their daughter. The lawsuit was originally filed in 1996 but delayed until 2000 when the killers' trial was concluded. The initial case was originally thrown out, the judge stating, "There's not a legal position that could be taken that would make Slayer responsible for the girl's death. Where do you draw the line? You might as well start looking through the library at every book on the shelf."


title: Murder of Elyse Pahler

text: Undeterred, the Pahlers launched a second lawsuit claiming that Slayer "knowingly distributed harmful material to minors". This case too was dismissed, with Judge E. Jeffrey Burke stating, "I do not consider Slayer's music obscene, indecent or harmful to minors."


title: Murder of Elyse Pahler

text: Jacob Delashmutt himself stated in a "Washington Post" interview, "The music is destructive [but] that's not why Elyse was murdered. She was murdered because Joe [Fiorella] was obsessed with her, and obsessed with killing her."

title: 4 Days Out

text: "4 Days Out" is the ninth episode of the second season of the American television drama series "Breaking Bad". It was written by Sam Catlin and directed by Michelle MacLaren.


title: 4 Days Out

text: Walter White arrives at the hospital with his family to learn how he has reacted to chemotherapy. He is told that the results of the test will not be ready for a week, but sees a scan of his lungs and notices a prominent growth. Believing that he has little time left, and realizing that recent expenses and Saul Goodman's fees for money laundering leave him with little to give his family, he decides to spend several days cooking meth. He pressures Jesse Pinkman into joining him, on the false pretext that their supply of methylamine will soon spoil.


title: 4 Days Out

text: At the cook site in the desert, Jesse leaves the RV's keys in the ignition switch, unaware that it is draining the battery. After a few days of cooking, Walt estimates that they have nearly $1.2 million in meth. With their portable generator out of gasoline, Jesse convinces Walt to take a break and find a hotel for the night, but when they go to start the RV, they find the battery dead.


title: 4 Days Out

text: They siphon off gasoline from the RV to the generator to jump-start it, but fuel spilled on the generator catches fire, and Jesse uses all of their drinking water to douse it. Jesse suggests they call Skinny Pete for help using Walt's cell phone; despite the risk of Skyler White discovering this in his cell phone records, Walt allows Jesse to make the call. When Skinny Pete does not arrive, they call him again, and discover he is far off the directions before the phone dies. Walter unsuccessfully tries to trickle charge the RV's battery by manually turning the generator's crank. As he begins to despair, Jesse tries to rouse him, and this inspires him to construct a battery from the materials they have on hand. The makeshift battery provides enough power to jump-start the RV, and they are able to return to Albuquerque.


title: 4 Days Out

text: Walt and his family return to the doctor the next week, and learn that Walt's cancer is in remission and his tumor has shrunk by 80%; the "growth" Walt spotted was simply inflamed tissue in his lung, and a resulting tear in his esophagus caused him to cough up blood, but can be treated. Walt's family is ecstatic, but Walt, privately, has a violent outburst.


title: 4 Days Out

text: The episode was directed by Michelle MacLaren and written by Sam Catlin. It aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on May 3, 2009.


title: 4 Days Out

text: The episode received critical acclaim. Emily VanDerWerff, writing for "Slant", praised the episode for its cinematography: "It's also staggeringly beautiful, drinking in the desert landscape that dominates its running time with a wide-eyed sense for the beauty of the wilderness." She added that the episode continued the series' world-building, comparing it to the likes of "The Wire" and "The Sopranos", stating "the best television series are full of the breadth and depth of the panoply of human life." Alan Sepinwall felt similarly, writing "image after image—the glowing orange light of the desert, the cool blues of the chemicals mixing together, the tableaux of the RV resting in the tall grass or Walt and Jesse enjoying the night air after a hard day's work—looked absolutely gorgeous." Donna Bowman, of "The A.V. Club", gave the episode an A. She praised the episode for highlighting the characters' ability to act under pressure.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: The Nothing is the thirteenth studio album by American nu metal band Korn. It was released on September 13, 2019 through Roadrunner and Elektra. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: According to the band's lead singer, Jonathan Davis, the title of the album was inspired by a villain from "The NeverEnding Story". This is the first album recorded after the deaths of Davis' wife Deven and mother Holly Marie Chavez, which is reflected in the lyrics of songs such as "Finally Free". This affected Davis during the recording of the album, which he treated as a form of personal therapy. Some of his emotional breakdowns were recorded and ended up on the album, most notably towards the end of the intro, "The End Begins". Davis said about the album:


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: The recording process was unusually long for a Korn record as Davis stated in an interview with "Kerrang!" that while he would do a typical Korn record in two weeks, he spent around four months recording the vocal tracks for "The Nothing".


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: Following the album's release, the band is scheduled to go on tour co-headlined with Alice in Chains.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: On June 25, 2019, the band revealed the title of the album, official release date and unveiled its first single, "You'll Never Find Me", and the second, "Cold", on August 2.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: On September 6, with the release of the third single "Can You Hear Me", Korn announced a six-episode podcast series. The podcast bears the same title as the album and is a fictional show about a journalist who travels to a small Kansas town to investigate a teenager's disappearance.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: On the day of release, September 13, the band played an invite-only special concert. The set list included four tracks from "The Nothing", three of which had not been played live previously.


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: "The Nothing" received acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 83 out of 100 based on six reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". It is also the highest Metacritic rating out of all Korn's albums rated on the website. AllMusic gave the album a positive review saying, "Over atmospheric NIN-like piano and towering drums, he exposes his guilt-stricken soul in a final confessional. As the swell fades away, he weeps, "I failed, I failed." It's one of the saddest moments in their catalog, a low point that ironically elevates this album to one of their strongest statements. Korn have always excelled at pain, but with "The Nothing", this is the most authentic it's ever been."


title: The Nothing (Korn album)

text: "The Nothing" debuted at number eight on the US "Billboard" 200 with 33,000 album-equivalent units, of which 29,000 were pure album sales. It is Korn's 14th US top-10 album. As of the end of 2020, the album has sold over 80,000 traditional copies in the US.


title: Bicorne

text: The bicorne or bicorn (two-cornered) is a historical form of hat widely adopted in the 1790s as an item of uniform by European and American army and naval officers. Most generals and staff officers of the Napoleonic period wore bicornes, which survived as widely-worn full-dress headdress until the 20th century.


title: Bicorne

text: Descended from the tricorne, the black-coloured bicorne originally had a rather broad brim, with the front and the rear halves turned up and pinned together forming a semi-circular fan shape; there was usually a cockade in the national colours at the front. Later, the hat became more triangular in shape, with its two ends becoming more pointed, and it was worn with the cockade at the right side. That kind of bicorne eventually became known in English as the "cocked hat", but it is still known in French as the "bicorne".


title: Bicorne

text: Worn in the side-to-side athwart style during the 1790s, the bicorne became normally seen fore-and-aft in most armies and navies from 1800. The change in style coincided with the flattening out of the pronounced front peak of the original headdress. The French gendarmerie continued to wear their bicornes in the classic side-to-side fashion until about 1904, and the Italian Carabinieri still do so in their modern full dress.


title: Bicorne

text: Some forms of bicorne were designed to be folded flat so that they could be conveniently tucked under the arm when they were not being worn. A bicorne of such a style is also known as a "chapeau-bras" or "chapeau-de-bras".


title: Bicorne

text: The bicorne was widely worn until World War I as part of the full dress of officers of most of the world's navies. It survived to a more limited extent between the wars for wear by senior officers in the British, French, US, Japanese and other navies until World War II but has now almost disappeared in that context.


title: Bicorne

text: In addition to its military/naval uses, the bicorne was widely worn during the 19th and the early 20th centuries by civilian officials in European monarchies and Japan when it was required to wear uniforms on formal occasions. The practice generally ceased after World War I except in the context of diplomatic uniform. However, British colonial governors in temperate climates and governors general in some countries of the Commonwealth (notably Australia, Canada and New Zealand) continued to wear bicornes with ceremonial dress until the second half of the 20th century.


title: Bicorne

text: By the 20th century, the term "cocked hat" had come to be used more often than not in official British usage (uniform regulations etc.) with reference to that shape of hat (particularly when worn as part of a uniform), but in the rare instances that hats were directed to be worn side-to-side ('athwarts') rather than front-to-back, such as by footmen in full state livery, the term "bicorn" tended to be preferred.


title: Bicorne

text: In its most commonly-seen form at the time, the cocked hat was pinned up at two sides to form a hump-back bridge shape and was worn perpendicular to the shoulders, with the front end above the face and the back end over the nape. A cockade in the national colours might be worn at the right side (French tradition), and a plume might be attached to the top (British military c. 1800). Cocked hats were often trimmed with gold or silver bullion lace and tassels. Naval officers wore them without further decorations, but those worn by military and civilian officials might be lavishly decorated with coloured ostrich or swan feathers.


title: Bicorne

text: The cocked hat still remains the "Full Dress headdress of General and Staff Officers and certain others" and is worn in public by certain office-holders such as the Major-General commanding the Household Division, Gold Stick and Silver Stick and the Constable of the Tower.


title: Bicorne

text: Members of the Académie française wear the "habit vert" (green habit) at the Académie's ceremonies. The habit includes a black jacket and a "bicorne" in the cocked-hat style, each embroidered in green.


title: Bicorne

text: Students at the École Polytechnique wear a bicorne as part of their "Grand Uniforme" (GU). Female students used to wear a tricorne hat but now also wear a bicorne. The bicorne also formed part of the historic black and red full dress of cadets at the French Military Medical School ("École de Santé des Armées") until this uniform was withdrawn in 1971, except for limited use on special occasions. The bicorne is still worn by the members of the Cadre Noir in full dress uniform.


title: Bicorne

text: Diplomatic uniforms, worn on such occasions as the presentation of credentials by ambassadors, normally included bicornes worn with feathers and gold or silver braiding. Until World War II such uniforms were worn by even junior embassy staff but now survive only for ambassadors in a few long-established diplomatic services such as those of Britain, France, Sweden, Belgium and Spain.


title: Bicorne

text: In the United Kingdom cocked hats continue to be worn by certain office-holders on special occasions:


title: Bicorne

text: In the Knights of Columbus, Fourth Degree Knights of the Color Corps wore regalia which included a chivalric chapeau. The color of the plume denoted the office held by the wearer. A new uniform with a beret replacing the cocked hat was announced in 2017 and the old uniform gradually phased out over the following several years.


title: Bicorne

text: The Italian Carabinieri wear a bicorn with points sideways with their full dress uniform. The large tricolor cockade in front has given it the popular name of la "lucerna", the "lamp".


title: Bicorne

text: In Java, a cocked hat is still in use in the parade uniform of the Dhaeng and Ketanggung brigades; both are from Yogyakarta Sultanate. Since the end of the Java War, they no longer function as combat troops. This cocked hat is known in Javanese as ' hat, because of its shape like a pointed nose, '. Only used on special occasions, such as Grebeg and other cultural or ceremonial events held by the kraton (palace), the headgear came as a part of Western influence in Yogyakarta, during the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwono IV.

text: In 2006, J.D. Dunn of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 8.5 [Very Good], writing, "This was the height of the WWF as former "Daily Show" writer Chris Kreski booked one of the more compelling soap opera angles in WWE history. Unlike what Russo did, Kreski's stuff was always streamlined so it never spun out of control or lost focus like so many Russo angles. Plus, with Jericho and the Radicalz in the WWF, there was now enough actual talent to put some wrestling on their wrestling show. Imagine that. Most of the matches are throwaways, but the right people were put in the right places to do the right matches, and that's where the entertainment comes from.

The defeat led to the A.P.A challenging the Dudley Boyz into a Bar Room Brawl, which ended in a no contest. After the match, The Dudley Boyz and the A.P.A united as they drank beer and attacked Kai En Tai. The Dudley Boyz then began a feud with the Right to Censor on the September 18 edition of "Raw is War", where after losing a match to the Dudley Boyz, all four members of Right to Censor attacked them. The attack led to the A.P.A coming down to the ring to help the Dudley Boyz. On the September 21 edition of "SmackDown!", Commissioner Foley announced an eight-man tag team match between the team of Right to Censor against the team of the Dudley Boyz and the A.P.A at Unforgiven. At Unforgiven, Right to Censor defeated the Dudley Boyz and the A.P.A.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Giles Lytton Strachey (; 1 March 1880 – 21 January 1932) was an English writer and critic. A founding member of the Bloomsbury Group and author of "Eminent Victorians", he established a new form of biography in which psychological insight and sympathy are combined with irreverence and wit. His biography "Queen Victoria" (1921) was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey was born on 1 March 1880 at Stowey House, Clapham Common, London, the fifth son and eleventh child of Lieutenant General Sir Richard Strachey, an officer in the British colonial armed forces, and his second wife, the former Jane Grant, who became a leading supporter of the women's suffrage movement. He was named "Giles Lytton" after an early sixteenth-century Gyles Strachey and the first Earl of Lytton, who had been a friend of Richard Strachey's when he was Viceroy of India in the late 1870s. The Earl of Lytton was also Lytton Strachey's godfather. The Stracheys had thirteen children in total, ten of whom survived to adulthood, including Lytton's sister Dorothy Strachey and youngest brother, the psychoanalyst, James Strachey.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: When Lytton was four years old the family moved from Stowey House to 69 Lancaster Gate, north of Kensington Gardens. This was their home until Sir Richard retired 20 years later. Lady Strachey was an enthusiast for languages and literature, making her children perform their own plays and write verse from early ages. She thought that Lytton had the potential to become a great artist so she decided that he would receive the best education possible in order to be "enlightened." By 1887 he had begun the study of French, and he was to admire French culture throughout his life.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey was educated at a series of schools, beginning at Parkstone, Dorset. This was a small school with a wide range of after-class activities, where Strachey's acting skills exceeded those of other pupils; he was particularly convincing when portraying female parts. He told his mother how much he liked dressing as a woman in real life to confuse and entertain others.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Lady Strachey decided in 1893 that her son should start his more serious education and sent him to Abbotsholme School in Rocester, Derbyshire, where pupils were required to do manual work every day. Strachey, who always had a fragile physique, objected to this requirement and after few months he was transferred to Leamington College, where he became a victim of savage bullying. Sir Richard, however, told his son to "grin and bear the petty bullying." Strachey did eventually adapt to the school and became one of its best pupils. In the 1960s one of the four 'houses' at the school was named after him. His health also seems to have improved during the three years he spent at Leamington, although various illnesses continued to plague him.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: When Strachey turned seventeen, in 1897, Lady Strachey decided that he was ready to leave school and go to university, but because she thought he was too young for Oxford she decided that he should first attend a smaller institution, the University of Liverpool. There Strachey befriended the Professor of Modern Literature, Walter Raleigh, who, besides being his favourite teacher, also became the most influential figure in his life before he went up to Cambridge. In 1899 Strachey took the Christ Church scholarship examination, wanting to get into Balliol College, Oxford, but the examiners determined that Strachey's academic achievements were not remarkable and were struck by his "shyness and nervousness." They recommended Lincoln College as a more suitable institution, advice that Lady Strachey took as an insult, deciding then that he would attend Trinity College, Cambridge, instead.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey was admitted as a Pensioner at Trinity College, Cambridge, on 30 September 1899. He became an Exhibitioner in 1900 and a Scholar in 1902. He won the Chancellor's Medal for English Verse in 1902 and was given a B.A. degree after he had won a second class in the History Tripos in June 1903. He did not however take leave of Trinity, but remained until October 1905 to work on a thesis that he hoped would gain him a fellowship. Strachey was often ill and had to leave Cambridge repeatedly to recover from the palpitations that affected him.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey's years at Cambridge were happy and productive. Among the freshers at Trinity there were three with whom Strachey soon became closely associated: Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf and Saxon Sydney-Turner. With another undergraduate, A. J. Robertson, these students formed a group called the Midnight Society, which, in the opinion of Bell, was the source of the Bloomsbury Group. Other close friends at Cambridge were Thoby Stephen and his sisters Vanessa and Virginia Stephen (later Bell and Woolf respectively).


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey also belonged to the Conversazione Society, the Cambridge Apostles to which Tennyson, Hallam, Maurice, and Sterling had once belonged. The Apostles formulated an elitist doctrine of "Higher Sodomy" which differentiated the homosexual acts of the intelligent from those of "ordinary" men. In these years Strachey was highly prolific in writing verse, much of which has been preserved and some of which was published at the time. Strachey also became acquainted with other men who greatly influenced him, including G. Lowes Dickinson, John Maynard Keynes, Walter Lamb (brother of the painter Henry Lamb), George Mallory, Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore. Moore's philosophy, with its assumption that the "summum bonum" lies in achieving a high quality of humanity, in experiencing delectable states of mind and in intensifying experience by contemplating great works of art, was a particularly important influence.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: In the summer of 1903 Strachey applied for a position in the Education Department of the Civil Service. Even though the letters of recommendation written for him by those under whom he had studied showed that he was held in high esteem at Cambridge, he failed to get the appointment and decided to try for a fellowship at Trinity College. From 1903 through 1905 he wrote a 400-page dissertation on Warren Hastings, the eighteenth-century Indian Imperialist, but the work failed to secure Strachey the fellowship and led to his return to London.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: After Strachey left Cambridge in 1905, his mother assigned him a bed-sitting room at 69 Lancaster Gate. After the family moved to 67 Belsize Gardens in Hampstead, and later to another house in the same street, he was assigned other bed-sitters. But, as he was about to turn 30, family life started irritating him, and he took to travelling into the country more often, supporting himself by writing reviews and critical articles for "The Spectator" and other periodicals. In 1909 he spent some weeks at a health spa in Saltsjöbaden, near Stockholm in Sweden. In this period he also lived for a while in a cottage on Dartmoor and about 1911–12 spent a whole winter at East Ilsley on the Berkshire Downs. During this time he decided to grow a beard, which became his most characteristic feature. On 9 May 1911 he wrote to his mother:The chief news is that I have grown a beard! Its colour is very much admired, and it is generally considered extremely effective, though some ill-bred persons have been observed to laugh. It is a red-brown of the most approved tint, and makes me look like a French decadent poet—or something equally distinguished.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: In 1911 H. A. L. Fisher, a former President of the British Academy and of the Board of Education, was in search of someone to write a short one-volume survey of French literature. Fisher had read one of Strachey's reviews ("Two Frenchmen," "Independent Review" (1903)) and asked him to write an outline in 50,000 words, giving him J. W. Mackail's "Latin Literature" (1909) as a model. "Landmarks in French Literature", dedicated to <nowiki>"J[ane] M[aria] S[trachey],"</nowiki> his mother, was published on 12 January 1912. Despite almost a full column of praise in "The Times Literary Supplement" of 1 February and sales that by April 1914 had reached nearly 12,000 copies in the British Empire and America, the book brought Strachey neither the fame he craved nor the money he badly needed.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Soon after the publication of "Landmarks", Strachey's mother and his friend Harry Norton supported him financially. Each provided him with £100, which, together with his earnings from the "Edinburgh Review" and other periodicals, made it possible for him to rent a small thatched cottage, The Lacket, outside the village of Lockeridge, near Marlborough, Wiltshire. He lived there until 1916 and it was there that he wrote the first three parts of "Eminent Victorians".


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey's theory of biography was now fully developed and mature. He was greatly influenced by Dostoyevsky, whose novels he had been reading and reviewing as they appeared in Constance Garnett's translations. The influence of Freud was important on Strachey's later works, most notably on "Elizabeth and Essex", but not at this earlier stage.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: In 1916 Lytton Strachey was back in London, living with his mother at 6 Belsize Park Gardens, Hampstead, where she had now moved. In the late autumn of 1917, however, his brother Oliver and his friends Harry Norton, John Maynard Keynes and Saxon Sydney-Turner agreed to pay the rent on the Mill House at Tidmarsh, near Pangbourne, Berkshire.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: From 1904 to 1914 Strachey contributed book and theatre reviews to "The Spectator". Under the pseudonym "Ignotus", he also published a number of drama reviews.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: During the First World War, Strachey applied for recognition as a conscientious objector, but in the event he was granted exemption from military service on health grounds. He spent much of the war with like-minded people such as Lady Ottoline Morrell and the Bloomsburys.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: His first great success, and his most famous achievement, was "Eminent Victorians" (1918), a collection of four short biographies of Victorian heroes. Unlike any biography of its time, "Eminent Victorians" examines the career and psychology of historical figures by using literary devices such as paradox, antithesis, hyperbole, and irony. This work was followed by another in the same style, "Queen Victoria" (1921).


title: Lytton Strachey

text: From then on, Strachey needed no further financial aid. He continued to live at Tidmarsh until 1924, when he moved to Ham Spray House near Marlborough, Wiltshire. This was his home for the rest of his life.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey died of stomach cancer on 21 January 1932, aged 51. It is reported that his final words were: "If this is dying, then I don't think much of it."


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Though Strachey spoke openly about his homosexuality with his Bloomsbury friends, and had relationships with a variety of men including Ralph Partridge, details of Strachey's sexuality were not widely known until the publication of by Michael Holroyd in the late 1960s.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: The painter Dora Carrington and Strachey had a lifelong, open, loving but platonic relationship. They eventually established a permanent home together at Ham Spray House, where Carrington would paint and Strachey would educate her in literature. In 1921, Carrington agreed to marry Ralph Partridge, not for love but to secure a three-way relationship. Partridge eventually formed a relationship with Frances Marshall, another Bloomsbury member. Shortly after Strachey died, Carrington took her own life. Partridge married Frances Marshall in 1933. Strachey was mainly interested sexually in Partridge, as well as in various other young men, including a secret sadomasochistic relationship with Roger Senhouse (later the head of the publishing house Secker & Warburg). Strachey's letters, edited by Paul Levy, were published in 2005.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Virginia Woolf's husband Leonard Woolf said that in her experimental novel "The Waves", "there is something of Lytton in Neville." Lytton is also said to have been the inspiration behind the character of St John Hirst in her novel "The Voyage Out". Michael Holroyd describes Strachey as the inspiration behind Cedric Furber in Wyndham Lewis's "The Self-Condemned". In Lewis's novel "The Apes of God" he is seen in the character of Matthew Plunkett, whom Holroyd describes as "a maliciously distorted and hilarious caricature of Lytton." In the Terminus Note in E. M. Forster's "Maurice", Forster remarks that the Cambridge undergraduate Risley in the novel is based on Strachey.


title: Lytton Strachey

text: Strachey was portrayed by Jonathan Pryce in the film "Carrington" (1995), which won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival that year, while Pryce won Best Actor for his performance. In the film "Al sur de Granada" (2003), Strachey was portrayed by James Fleet.

title: Vixen (web series)

text: Vixen, also known as DC Comics' Vixen, is an American animated web series from executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg, which debuted on August 25, 2015, on The CW's online streaming platform, CW Seed. It is based on the DC Comics character Mari McCabe / Vixen, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to mimic the abilities of any animal that has ever lived on Earth. The series is set in the Arrowverse, the same fictional universe as "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supergirl" and "Legends of Tomorrow". In January 2016, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on October 13, 2016.


title: Vixen (web series)

text: After her parents were killed in Africa by local corruption, Mari McCabe inherits her family's Tantu Totem, gaining the powers of the animal kingdom, using them to fight as Vixen to stop threats like those that claimed her family.


title: Vixen (web series)

text: In January 2015, The CW announced that a six-episode animated web-series centered on Vixen from Marc Guggenheim would be debuting on CW Seed in late 2015, and would be set in the Arrowverse with "Arrow" and "The Flash". In total, the six episodes encompass one 30-minute story. The series, described as an "origin story", is set in Detroit, Michigan and "prominently" features characters from "Arrow" and "The Flash". Keto Shimizu and Brian Ford Sullivan, writers on "Arrow", also serve as writers for "Vixen". On adding Vixen to the established universe, Guggenheim said, "Vixen's such a great character. First of all, she represents magic, which is an area that we haven't explored on either of the two shows just yet. One thing we're always saying is, "Flash" is very different from "Arrow", "Arrow" is very different from "Flash." If "Arrow" is crime and "The Flash" is science, "Vixen" has a big magic component." Guggenheim also talked about why the series originated as animation, saying, "One of the things we can do in animation is really push the envelope in a way that we can't on either of the two shows. So there's a much larger production value. We're taking advantage of the animated form."


title: Vixen (web series)

text: At the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International, it was revealed that the series would debut on August 25, 2015, with new episodes debuting weekly. In July 2015, Guggenheim revealed the series takes place around episode S03E15 and S03E16 of "Arrow", saying, "We were shooting [episode] S03E14 [of "Arrow"] when we wrote "Vixen" so we sort of tied it to the continuity not of when it ultimately came out because that would require us projecting very, very far into the future, but we just committed to our timeline of around when we were writing it. We knew, of course, at that point that Oliver would be going off to the League of Assassins and changing his costume as a result, so this takes place just right before that." Blake Neely, composer of "Arrow" and "The Flash", composed the music for "Vixen" along with Nathaniel Blume. In January 2016, CW President Mark Pedowitz announced that The CW had renewed "Vixen" for a second season of six episodes, again totaling about a half-hour of content. Pedowitz also stated he regretted not airing the entire series as a half-hour special on The CW, something he hoped to do with season two. In January 2017, in terms of renewing "Vixen" for a third season, Pedowitz said, "We haven't had that discussion, but based on the success of [the second] season I have no reason why not to." The entire series made its broadcast debut on The CW on August 30, 2017.


title: Vixen (web series)

text: In February 2017, Warner Bros. announced "Vixen: The Movie" for release on digital download on May 8, 2017, and on Blu-ray and DVD on May 23, 2017. The release sees the first two seasons combined into a single story, with 15 minutes of never-before-seen content. Bonus features on the release include the "Justice League Unlimited" episodes "Hunter's Moon" and "Grudge Match" and a new featurette.


title: Vixen (web series)

text: IGN's Jesse Schedeen gave the series a 7.3/10, praising the action sequences, the animation and the tone, saying the series "finds its niche in the Flash/Arrow-verse". Schedeen criticized the short run time and the voice acting of some actors, particularly those crossing over from the live-action shows, saying "There's a certain stiffness and even slowness to Stephen Amell's Ollie, Grant Gustin's Barry and Carlos Valdes' Cisco that isn't present in live-action. This is especially apparent whenever the characters launch into witty banter with each other." Oliver Sava of "The A.V. Club" gave the series a "B+" rating.


title: Vixen (web series)

text: In 2017, Vixen was nominated for the Golden Reel Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Computer Episodic (Webisode).


title: Vixen (web series)

text: Guggenheim stated that if the series was successful, a live-action series centered on the character could be possible. Echikunwoke appeared as the character on "Arrow" during the fourth-season episode "Taken," in which Mari aided Oliver Queen and his team in rescuing his kidnapped son. After Vixen's appearance on "Arrow", Pedowitz reiterated again that it would be possible for the character to spin out to her own live-action series, or potentially join the characters on "Legends of Tomorrow". It was originally intended for Echikunwoke to reprise her role in the second season of "Legends of Tomorrow", but she was unable to do so due to previous commitments. Maisie Richardson-Sellers was ultimately cast to portray Amaya Jiwe, the grandmother of McCabe who also operated as Vixen. Kuasa appears throughout the third season of "Legends of Tomorrow", portrayed by Tracy Ifeachor, while Chuck McCabe appears in the episode "I, Ava" and is portrayed by Eli Gabay. The events of the season end up retroactively changing the continuity of "Vixen", resulting in an altered timeline where Zambesi was never destroyed, and Mari shares the Vixen mantle with Kuasa.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser is a station wagon manufactured and marketed by Oldsmobile over three generations from 1964 to 1977.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: The first and second generation Vista Cruisers are noted for their fixed-glass, roof-mounted skylights over the second-row seating with sun visors for the second row passengers, a raised roof behind the skylight and lateral glass panels over the rear cargo area along the raised roof, and access to the third row of forward-facing passenger seating was accomplished by a second row split bench seat that retracted forward.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Sharing its bodystyle with the Buick Sport Wagon, Pontiac Tempest Safari and Chevrolet Chevelle Greenbrier, the Vista Cruiser was introduced on February 4, 1964, as a 1964 model, based on the Oldsmobile Cutlass/F-85 Series. The skylight roof panel was only shared with the Buick Sport Wagon and was not available on the Chevrolet Chevelle or Pontiac Tempest station wagons. Prior to the 1973 model year the Vista Cruiser utilized a wheelbase which was longer than that of the Cutlass/F-85 sedan.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Subsequent Oldsmobile mid-size wagons featured a skylight as did the 1991–92 full-size Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser wagon and the 1991–96 Buick Roadmaster Estate.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Reminiscent of earlier models, the third generation Vista Cruiser (1973–1977) featured optional rear-facing third row seating, while incorporating a single flat venting moonroof over the front row seating.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: The first-generation Vista Cruiser pioneered a standard raised roof with split skylight that began over the second-row seating, with lateral glass panels over the rear cargo area that was earlier introduced in 1954 on the GMC Scenicruiser Bus. Sun visors for second row passengers, with a third row of forward-facing passenger seating were available as an option. Access to the third row was gained by a split-folding second row seat that could be retracted forward.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: The Vista Cruiser was available as the standard or Custom trim package, and included as standard equipment a coil spring suspension, three-speed manual transmission, self-adjusting brakes with an air scoop, and an aluminized exhaust. Cloth or "Morocceen" vinyl upholstery was offered. Optional equipment included power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, power adjustable front bench seat, two-tone paint, a choice of radios, engines and transmissions, cruise control, and a limited slip differential. The listed retail price before options was $3,122 ($ in dollars ). Adding optional equipment could add more than $735 ($ in dollars ) along with local taxes and license registration fees.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: In 1964, the Vista Cruiser was one of three station wagons offered by Oldsmobile, the others being the F-85 station wagon which shared the "A" platform intermediates, and the full-sized GM B platform Dynamic 88 Fiesta.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: From 1965 Oldsmobile discontinued the full-sized Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 wagon, making the Vista Cruiser the division's longer model; the shorter-wheelbase F-85 station wagon became the entry-level trim package of the Vista Cruiser and was not offered the raised roof skylights.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Engines in the Vista Cruiser paralleled other Olds intermediates, with a Rocket V8 offered from 1964 to 1967 producing from depending on year and carburetion. For 1964, Buick's V6 was the standard engine.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Transmission included the two-speed Jetaway automatic transmission and two rarely equipped manual transmissions, a three-speed column shift and a four-speed floor shift.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Beginning in 1966 it revived the long-standing tradition offering optional simulated woodgrain using DI-NOC vinyl wrap appearance.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: From 1968 to 1972, a V8 became standard, with a high-output V8 from the 442 muscle car optional in 1968-69, and a V8 available from 1970 to 1972. The listed retail price for the eight passenger 1968 version before options was $3,508 ($ in dollars ). A major restyling of the GM A-body car line for 1968 replaced the split skylight with a one-piece unit, and stretched the wheelbase to and the installation of concealed windshield wipers that retracted when turned off. Standard equipment included dual master brake cylinder, four-way emergency hazard lights, padded dashboard, reverse indication lights, chrome hubcaps and seat belts, with an additional folding second row seat and lockable underfloor storage compartment in the cargo area where the optional, folding third row seat was stored. The upholstery was available in cloth or Morocceen vinyl. Additional optional items included power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, power extending radio antenna, electric clock, cruise control, wire wheel hubcaps, tissue dispenser, courtesy interior lighting, GuideMatic headlamp control, Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights, rooftop luggage carrier, floor mats, several AM/FM radio selections including an 8 track tape player, and decorative door edge guards.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: Transmission offerings through the years included one of two automatics—the two-speed Jetaway (1968) or three-speed Turbo Hydramatic (1968–72), or very rarely, a standard three-speed manual with column shift or optional four-speed manual with floor-mounted Hurst shifter borrowed from the Oldsmobile 442.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: In 1969, the "Dual-Action" tailgate was introduced as an option on two-row models and standard equipment on three-row.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: In 1970, an exterior redesign sharpened edges and curves. Although it closely resembled the 1968-69 models, and is essentially regarded a second-generation car (The GM Skywagon Club recognizes the 1970-72 models as "Generation 2a"), many body parts were no longer interchangeable. The dashboard was also completely redesigned.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: For 1971, Oldsmobile brought back the full-sized Custom Cruiser wagon on a wheelbase 98 C-body chassis, featuring GM's disappearing clamshell tailgate, but the glass-roofed Vista Cruiser continued until 1972. Buyers who chose the top level Custom Cruiser received width for 1971–75, and for 1976.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: A small number of 1972 Vista Cruisers were modified by Hurst Performance for support car duties at the 1972 Indianapolis 500, joining the 1972 Hurst/Olds official pace car. Both were equipped with Rocket V8. Two modified Vista Cruisers are known to survive as of 2012, a press car and a medical director's car. As of 2012, the medical director's car is owned by a relative of Ray Harroun, the winner of the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911.


title: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

text: For 1973, the GM A-body intermediate platform was completely redesigned and the separate wheelbase used by the Vista Cruiser and Buick Sport Wagon eliminated; all A-body wagons were now built on the 116-inch sedan wheelbase. While its Buick counterpart was replaced with the Buick Century Estate station wagon, the Vista Cruiser was the woodgrained version, and the new Cutlass Supreme Cruiser joined the station wagon list for 1974. Despite the shortened wheelbase, three-row seating returned, with the third row direction changed to facing rearward. The "Dual-Action" tailgate was replaced by a one-piece hatchback with a fixed rear window that did not retract into the door. Ventilation to the third row was limited to the second row side windows.

title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: The National Book Award for Fiction is one of five annual National Book Awards, which recognize outstanding literary work by United States citizens. Since 1987 the awards have been administered and presented by the National Book Foundation, but they are awards "by writers to writers." The panelists are five "writers who are known to be doing great work in their genre or field."


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: General fiction was one of four categories when the awards were re-established in 1950. For several years beginning 1980, prior to the Foundation, there were multiple fiction categories: hardcover, paperback, first novel or first work of fiction; from 1981 to 1983 hardcover and paperback children's fiction; and only in 1980 five awards to mystery fiction, science fiction, and western fiction. When the Foundation celebrated the 60th postwar awards in 2009, all but three of the 77 previous winners in fiction categories were in print. The 77 included all eight 1980 winners but excluded the 1981 to 1983 children's fiction winners.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: The award recognizes one book written by a U.S. citizen and published in the U.S. from December 1 to November 30. The National Book Foundation accepts nominations from publishers until June 15, requires mailing nominated books to the panelists by August 1, and announces five finalists in October. The winner is announced on the day of the final ceremony in November. The award is $10,000 and a bronze sculpture; other finalists get $1000, a medal, and a citation written by the panel.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: Authors who have won the award more than once include such noted figures as William Faulkner, John Updike, William Gaddis, Jesmyn Ward, and Philip Roth, each having won the award on two occasions along with numerous other nominations. Saul Bellow won the award in three decades (1954, 1965, 1971) and is the only author to have won the National Book Award for Fiction three times.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: From 1935 to 1941 there were six annual awards for general fiction and the "Bookseller Discovery" or "Most Original Book" was sometimes a novel. From 1980 to 1985 there were six annual awards to first novels or first works of fiction. In 1980 there were five awards to mystery, western, or science fiction. There have been many awards to fiction in the Children's or Young People's categories.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: This list covers only the post-war awards (pre-war awards follow) to general fiction for adult readers: one annual winner from 1950 except two undifferentiated winners 1973 to 1975, dual hardcover and paperback winners 1980 to 1983.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: For each award, the winner is listed first followed by the finalists. Unless otherwise noted, the year represents the year the award was given for books published in the prior year. Thus, the award year 1950 is for books published in 1949.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: For 1980 to 1983 this list covers the paired "Fiction (hardcover)" and "Fiction (paperback)" awards in that order. Hard and paper editions were distinguished only in these four years; none of the paperback winners were original; in their first editions all had been losing finalists in 1979 or 1981.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: From 1980 to 1985 there was also one award for first novel or first work of fiction and in 1980 there were five more awards for mystery, western, and science fiction. None of those are covered here.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: 1983 entries were published during 1982; winners in 27 categories were announced April 13 and privately celebrated April 28, 1983.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: 1984 entries for the "revamped" awards in three categories were published November 1983 to October 1984; eleven finalists were announced October 17. Winners were announced and celebrated November 15, 1984.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: The National Book Awards for 1935 to 1940 annually recognized the "Most Distinguished Novel" (1935–1936) or "Favorite Fiction" (1937–1940). Furthermore, works of fiction were eligible for the "Bookseller Discovery" and "Most Original Book" awards; fiction winners are listed here.


title: National Book Award for Fiction

text: There was only one National Book Award for 1941, the Bookseller Discovery, which recognized the novel "Hold Autumn In Your Hand" by George Perry; then none until the 1950 revival in three categories including Fiction.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: Aït Benhaddou (; ) is a historic "ighrem" or "ksar" (fortified village) along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakesh in Morocco. It is considered a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: The site of the ksar has been fortified since the 11th century during the Almoravid period. None of the current buildings are believed to date from before the 17th century, but they were likely built with the same construction methods and designs as had been used for centuries before. The site's strategic importance was due to its location in the Ounila Valley along one of the main trans-Saharan trade routes. The Tizi n'Tichka pass, which was reached via this route, was one of the few routes across the Atlas Mountains, crossing between Marrakech and the Dra'a Valley on the edge of the Sahara. Other kasbahs and ksour were located all along this route, such as the nearby Tamdaght to the north.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: Today, the ksar itself is only sparsely inhabited by several families. The depopulation over time is a result of the valley's loss of strategic importance in the 20th century. Most local inhabitants now live in modern dwellings in the village on the other side of the river, and make a living off agriculture and especially off the tourist trade. In 2011 a new pedestrian bridge was completed linking the old ksar with the modern village, with the aim of making the ksar more accessible and to potentially encourage inhabitants to move back into its historic houses.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: The "ksar" is located on the slopes of a hill next to the Ounila River ("Asif Ounila"). The village's buildings are grouped together within a defensive wall that includes corner towers and a gate. They include dwellings of various size ranging from modest houses to tall structures with towers. Some of the buildings are decorated in their upper parts with geometric motifs. The village also has a number of public or community buildings such as a mosque, a caravanserai, a kasbah (castle-like fortification) and the Marabout of Sidi Ali or Amer. At the top of the hill, overlooking the ksar, are the remains of a large fortified granary ("agadir"). There is also a public square, a Muslim cemetery, and a Jewish cemetery. Outside the ksar's walls was an area where grain was grown and threshed.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: The ksar's structures are made entirely out of rammed earth, adobe, clay bricks, and wood. Rammed earth (also known as "pisé", "tabia", or "al-luh") was a highly practical and cost-effective material but required consistent maintenance. It was made of compressed earth and mud, usually mixed with other materials to aid adhesion. The structures of Ait Benhaddou and of other kasbahs and "ksour" throughout this region of Morocco typically employed a mixture of earth and straw, which was relatively permeable and easily eroded by rain over time. As a result, villages of this type can begin to crumble only a few decades after being abandoned. At Ait Benhaddou, taller structures were made of rammed earth up to their first floor while the upper floors were made of lighter adobe so as to reduce the load of the walls.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: The ksar has been significantly restored in modern times, thanks in part to its use as a Hollywood filming location and to its inscription on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1987. UNESCO reports that the ksar has "preserved its architectural authenticity with regard to configuration and materials" by continuing to use traditional construction materials and techniques and by largely avoiding new concrete constructions. A local committee is in charge of monitoring and managing the site.


title: Aït Benhaddou

text: Aït Benhaddou was also used in parts of the TV series "Game of Thrones", the Brazilian TV series "O Clone" and "The Amazing Race Australia 6".

He plays club rugby for the in the Currie Cup. He generally plays as a flanker and a loose forward. In 2018, Kolisi was appointed captain of the Springboks, becoming the first black man to hold the position, and eventually leading the South African Rugby team to victory in the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final against England. In December 2019, Kolisi was named in "New African" magazine's list of 100 Most Influential Africans.


title: Siya Kolisi

text: Kolisi grew up in Zwide, Ibhayi, a township outside of Port Elizabeth. Kolisi's mother, Phakama, was 17 when Siya was born and his father, Fezakele, was in his final year of school. Kolisi's mother died when he was 15, leaving his late grandmother, Nolulamile, to raise him. At the age of 12, he impressed scouts at a youth tournament in Mossel Bay and was offered a scholarship at Grey Junior in Port Elizabeth. He was subsequently offered a rugby scholarship to the prestigious Grey High School, which South African cricketer Graeme Pollock and England International Mike Catt had attended.

title: Siya Kolisi

text: Kolisi returned with a bang the following year and held his place in the Stormers side despite fierce competition among the loose forwards. 13 appearances and 2 tries were recorded and this earned him his first international recognition. Being part of the Springbok set-up for the 2013 Rugby Championship meant he only played in Western Province's final 3 matches of the 2013 Currie Cup and was powerless to prevent them from slipping to a surprise 33–19 home defeat to the in the final of the competition.


title: Siya Kolisi

text: Kolisi was selected as the new captain of the Stormers on 20 February 2017. He was selected as the new captain of the Springboks on 28 May 2018, becoming the team's first black captain in its 126-year history. Bryan Habana, former Springbok and of mixed race, praised Kolisi's appointment: "It's a monumental moment for South African rugby, and a moment in South African history."

title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Dark Matter is a science fiction thriller novel by American writer Blake Crouch, first published in the United States in July 2016 by the Crown Publishing Group. The story is about a physicist who is kidnapped and sent to a parallel universe in which another version of his life unfolds because of a different choice he made fifteen years previously. The book draws on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which posits that every possible outcome of every event creates a new universe or world that runs parallel to our own.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: "Dark Matter" received mixed reviews from critics, and was nominated for the 2016 World Technology Awards. The book was translated into Dutch by Corry van Bree as "Dark Matter" and published by Karakter in August 2016. It was also translated into German by Klaus Berr as "Dark Matter: Der Zeitenläufer" and published by Goldmann in March 2017.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Jason Dessen, a former quantum mechanics physicist, is a college physics professor who lives in Chicago with his wife, Daniela and their son Charlie. One day Jason is kidnapped and drugged. He wakes up in a science laboratory and stumbles out of a metal cube. He discovers that he is in an alternate Chicago where, fifteen years previously, he had decided not to marry Daniela and had pursued his career as a physicist instead. In this world he built the cube that enables the occupants to move between the countless worlds created from every possible outcome of every event.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Jason is held and questioned by the scientists. They believe he is the Jason from this world, referred to as Jason2, and is the first person to successfully return from a journey in the cube. Jason learns that Jason2 was his abductor who came to Jason's world to see what his life would have been like had he abandoned his career and married Daniela. Jason2 sent Jason to Jason2's world so that Jason2 could pretend to be Daniela's husband.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Determined to return to his own Chicago and his wife and son, Jason and Jason2's therapist, Amanda, escape and enter the cube. Unfamiliar with its operation, they find themselves transported to a number of parallel worlds. Eventually, Jason reaches his own world, where he finds Jason2 living with his wife and son. He convinces Daniela and Charlie that he is the real Jason, and takes them into hiding to evade Jason2. Jason2 finds Jason and attempts to kill him, but Jason mortally wounds his rival. To avoid the other belligerent Jasons who were created each time Jason, while navigating the alternate worlds, made a decision, he flees with his family to the cube to start a new life in another world.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: In 2014 Crouch shared early ideas he had for "Dark Matter" with American author Marcus Sakey. Crouch and Sakey often had brainstorming sessions where they discussed new books they were writing. Crouch said after working with Sakey for several days, "the shape of this book come out of the fog". Crouch's decision to set "Dark Matter" in Chicago came "partly out of sentimentality but also because of the landmarks of Chicago, the skyline, the lake . . . there's just something about it that spoke to me". Regarding the book's title, Crouch explained that life is full of mysteries, but that there are many more beneath the surface that we cannot see, just as the dark matter in the universe is hidden from view.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Crouch's interest in quantum mechanics began when he read an article on it in "Scientific American". His fascination in the subject grew further when experimental quantum physicist Aaron D. O'Connell demonstrated that subatomic particles exist in quantum superposition. This led Crouch to ask himself, if microscopic particles occupy multiple realities, why not everyday objects, including people? What if a device could be built that allowed a person to exist in superposition? Crouch said "Dark Matter" is about "the nature of reality and of identity, and of questioning whether or not to trust what we see before our eyes."


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: In a review in "The Guardian", Alison Flood described "Dark Matter" as one of "the most helter-skelter, race-to-the-finish-line thriller you'll read all year". She stated that it is "not ... a sensible book", but "[i]t is proud and joyful in its absurdity". Flood said Crouch's "path-not-taken fantasy is intriguing", and Jason's devotion to his wife and son is "touching, and charming".


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Andrew O’Hehir wrote in a review of the novel in "The New York Times" that it is a mix of several genres: alternate-universe science fiction, a countdown thriller, and a fantasy not unlike C. S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" and Lev Grossman's "Magicians" books. He said that notwithstanding the inclusion of "pop physics", "Dark Matter" is a book you can read in one sitting, and one which "barely qualifies as beach reading". O’Hehir complained that its frantic pace leaves little room for character development and opportunities for readers to critically examine what it is they are reading. He also felt that Crouch's "need for speed" impacts his "better writing", and concluded, "I'd have appreciated more expansiveness and more relish."


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Reviewing the book for "USA Today", Brian Truitt called "Dark Matter" "a nightmarish quantum-mechanics version of "It's a Wonderful Life"". He said the book's science is "thought-provoking", even if some of it appears to be "a bit too convenient" in places. Truitt stated that the minor characters receive little to no characterization, but found Jason's "mind-set" well explored. Truitt summed up that "Dark Matter" is "a hard tale to shake once finished". Peter Heck in "Asimov's Science Fiction" also thought that some of the plot elements were "a bit too convenient ... to be entirely plausible", but added that this comes with the territory in "action-orientated fiction". Heck called "Dark Matter" a "good, fast-paced read" by "a writer without extensive genre credits taking a classic SF trope and making something fresh out of it."


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Writing at "The Verge", Andrew Liptak said that in "Dark Matter" Crouch uses science fiction's familiar theme of multiple realities to explore identity. The book's collection of different Jasons raises the question, "which is the real one?", but Liptak felt that it never really develops them enough to make them memorable. Some of the minor characters like Daniela and Charlie also felt underdeveloped and evoked little empathy. Liptak said that while "Dark Matter" is "the equivalent of a science fiction beach read", and Crouch "never lets up on the breakneck pace", it is a "fun ride".


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: Several reviewers criticized Crouch's use of short single-sentence paragraphs. Flood said that "Dark Matter" is "madly fast-moving", and this is accentuated by his "not un-irritating habit of breaking his narrative up into single-line paragraphs". O’Hehir wrote that the book's profusion of "one-word sentences, one-sentence paragraphs and dramatic oceans of white space" is a ploy Crouch uses to hold the reader's attention. Jason Sheehan at National Public Radio called Crouch's "maddening addiction to sentence fragments and single line paragraphs ... annoying at first, then infuriating, then simply numbing."


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: In November 2014, Sony Pictures made a pre-emptive bid of $1.25 million for "Dark Matter". The bid was based on Crouch's incomplete 150-page manuscript at the time. In December 2020, it was announced that a TV series based on "Dark Matter" will be co-produced by Apple Studios and Sony Pictures Television. Crouch will adapt the script and the series will be produced by Matt Tolmach and David Manpearl, with Crouch as executive producer. The adaptation was originally intended to be a feature film, but it was dropped in favor of a TV series.


title: Dark Matter (Crouch novel)

text: In March 2022, Apple TV+ ordered a nine-episode TV series with Joel Edgerton playing the part of Jason Dessen. Edgerton will also be the show's executive producer, while the book's author, Crouch will serve as writer for the pilot episode and also showrunner for Sony Pictures Television and Apple Studios.


title: Jehu

text: Jehu (, meaning "Yahu is He"; "Ya'úa" ["ia-ú-a"]; ) was the tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I, noted for exterminating the house of Ahab. He was the son of Jehoshaphat, grandson of Nimshi, and possibly great-grandson of Omri, although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text. His reign lasted for 28 years.


title: Jehu

text: William F. Albright has dated his reign to 842–815 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 841–814 BCE. The principal source for the events of his reign comes from 2 Kings.


title: Jehu

text: The reign of Jehu's predecessor, Jehoram, was marked by the Battle of Ramoth-Gilead against the army of the Arameans. Jehoram was wounded and returned to Jezreel to recover. He was attended by Ahaziah, king of Judah, who was also his nephew, son of his sister Athaliah. Meanwhile, according to the writer of the Book of Kings, the prophet Elisha ordered one of his students to go to Ramoth-Gilead and separate Jehu, who was a military commander at the time, from his companions. There, he was to anoint Jehu as king in an inner chamber and explain to him that he was to act as an agent of divine judgement against the house of Ahab. The student followed these instructions, and upon completion he ran away. Jehu initially dismissed the student as being a "madman", but nonetheless told his companions about his anointing.
