# The Beginning and Progress of the Muscovy War

The Beginning and Progress of the Muscovy War (Polish: Poczatek i progres wojny moskiewskiej) is a memoir written by the Polish hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski, in which he describes the events of 1609 - 1611, when he participated in the Polish–Muscovite War (1605–18).
The book was probably written in 1612 and first published in 1833 by Konstanty Slotwinski in Lwow, which at that time was part of Austrian Galicia. Slotwinski titled it The History of Muscovy War until the Capture of Smolensk.
Following the example of Julius Caesar, Zolkiewski presents himself in the third person singular. The text includes a number of examples of the Macaronic language, and the memoir is regarded as one of the finest examples of works written in the Old Polish language.

# Thalía Álvarez

Thalía Álvarez Carvallo (1962–2011) was an Ecuadorian anthropologist and feminist activist. She was a member of organizations such as Proyecto Transgénero and Corporación Humanas Ecuador, and was co-founder of the latter. She was also one of the country's first openly lesbian women to be candidates for elected office.
After her death in 2011, her partner, activist Janneth Peña, successfully petitioned the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social; IESS) to grant her Álvarez's widow's pension benefits, marking a milestone for Ecuadorian same-sex couples.

## Early life and career

In 2002, Álvarez joined the organization Proyecto Transgénero, where she supported the creation of Casa Trans. Within the organization she was also a teacher of transfeminist activism.
In 2005, she and fellow feminists founded Corporación Humanas Ecuador. She also worked on several projects on sexual and reproductive health with the Ecuadorian Center for the Promotion and Action of Women. She was a member of Ecuador Adolescente until 2007.
For the 2007 Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly election, Álvarez was a candidate for assembly member for the alliance between the ¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! and Pachakutik movements, as a representative of lesbian populations, which made her one of the first openly LGBT people to run for elected office in the country. During the work of the Constituent Assembly, she was an LGBT advisor on the preparation of the constitutional text, along with activists such as Elizabeth Vásquez and Sandra Álvarez [es]. Specifically, Thalía Álvarez was an advisor to Assemblywoman María Augusta Calle on the workers' rights panel.

## Death

Thalía Álvarez died from pancreatic cancer in Quito on 22 March 2011. Her romantic partner, the activist Janneth Peña, whom Álvarez had met in 2005 and with whom she registered a domestic partnership in 2010, had difficulties completing the procedures to be able to cremate her. These were due to discriminatory policies against lesbian couples, including in the removal of her body from the morgue and the signing of family authorizations at the funeral home.
In August 2011, Peña made a request to the IESS for the montepío (worker's fund) and severance pension that was owed to her as the domestic partner of Álvarez. After a months-long process in which she received several refusals, on 14 December of that year, it was announced that Peña would receive these benefits, marking the first time in the history of the country that a same-sex couple received this recognition. As a result of the case, the IEES announced that from that moment on, other same-sex couples could also benefit.
# That Golden Rule

"That Golden Rule" is the second single to be taken from Scottish alternative rock trio Biffy Clyro's fifth studio album, Only Revolutions, released on 23 August 2009.
The band describe the song as a mixture of prog and stoner rock, citing that "[it's] like Kyuss and Tool playing with some Scottish freaks screaming over the top of it". It received its first radio play in early July 2009, on Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World slot on Radio 1. The single debuted at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart on 30 August 2009, as well as number one on the Scottish Singles Chart, making the song the band's fourth and most recent number-one single on that chart. The song was used by Sky Sports in its coverage of Super League from 2011 to 2013.

## Music video

The video for That Golden Rule was shot in Chiswick House, West London. It was released on NME's official website on 22 July 2009. The video received heavy airplay on British rock television stations Scuzz and Kerrang! TV and has been A-listed by BBC Radio 1.

## Artwork

Storm Thorgerson's artwork for the single references the band's previous studio album, Puzzle, with a missing jigsaw piece resting in front of a sailor. The other man, sailing into the distance, appears to have a jigsaw shaped hole in his side – it is likely that this represents the man depicted on the front cover of Puzzle.
Thorgerson later confirmed this on his official website, stating:
   Our design for Biffy was about two boats passing, the receding one representing the previous album [Puzzle] and steered by the puzzle man, into the distance, into the past; the approaching boat steered by the 'women-laden man' pushing forward in the rain, his troubled life etched on his face heading into an uncertain future, into the present, shot for real 'at sea' betwixt Skye and the Scottish mainland.

# The Cat and the Mice

The Cat and the Mice is a fable attributed to Aesop of which there are several variants. Sometimes a weasel is the predator; the prey can also be rats and chickens.

## The Fables

The Greek version of the fable recorded by Babrius concerns a cat that pretends to be a sack hanging from a peg in order to deceive the chickens, but his disguise is seen through by a rooster. This is numbered 79 in the Perry Index. William Caxton tells a very much amplified story of the rats that are the cat's victims. These hold a council and make the decision to stay off the floor and keep in the rafters. The cat then hangs himself from a hook and pretends to be dead, but the rats are not deceived. Later authors substituted mice for rats. The moral lesson taught by these stories is summed up by the English proverb 'Once bitten, twice shy'. The episode of the rats holding a council is similar to the fable of The Mice in Council who suggested hanging a bell on the cat, but that only developed during the Middle Ages and has a completely different moral.
The Phaedrus version of the fable is separately numbered 511 in the Perry Index and is prefaced by advice on the need to keep one's wits about one. It relates how, in order to catch mice, a weasel that has grown old rolls itself in flour and lies in a corner of the house until its prey approaches. A wily survivor spots its trick and addresses it from a distance. As well as Caxton, Roger L'Estrange also recorded both variants, but it did not survive much beyond his time.
Jean de la Fontaine incorporated the incidents of both into a single fable in Le Chat et un Vieux Rat (The cat and an old rat, III.18). The rats have become wary of showing themselves because of the cat, so it hangs itself upside down as if it were dead and waits for the rats to invade the larder. This can only work once, so its next trick is to hide in the bran tub and ambush its victims there. A wary senior saves himself by keeping aloof and taunts it by name. La Fontaine's version was reused by Robert Dodsley in his fable collection of 1764 and again in the 1884 English edition of Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version from Original Sources. In the woodcut illustrating it, the cautious mouse is peering over a sack at the whitened hind-quarters of the cat on the opposite side of the barn.
# The Best Awful There Is

The Best Awful There Is (retitled The Best Awful as a paperback), is a 2004 novel by actress and author Carrie Fisher. It is a sequel to her debut novel Postcards from the Edge.
Like most of Fisher's books, this novel is semi-autobiographical and fictionalizes events from her real life. The book features the protagonist character Suzanne Vale that first appeared in Postcards from the Edge. The book fictionalizes the author's relationship with Bryan Lourd, the father of her daughter Billie Lourd.
The Best Awful There Is was later published with the shorter title The Best Awful and is now largely known by this title.

## Plot summary

Suzanne Vale, an actress with bipolar disorder, married Leland Franklin, a studio executive who helped her find her "far-flung best self." He then left her for a man, when their daughter, Honey, was three.
Three years later, Vale is a successful TV talk show host with a six-year-old daughter, a gay ex-husband, and an aging starlet mother. It is her love for Honey that keeps her going.
When Vale, a recovering drug addict, stops taking her medication, she is plunged into a manic episode. She goes on a search for OxyContin in Tijuana with a tattoo artist friend and a new house guest, a clinically depressed patient she met at her psycho-pharmacologist's office.
A psychotic break lands Vale at Shady Lanes, where she is the "latest loony to hit the bin." Despite her mental illness, Vale still has her wit and ability to find irony in every situation as she struggles back from the brink of insanity.

# The City of Beautiful Nonsense (novel)

The City of Beautiful Nonsense was a best-selling novel written by Ernest Temple Thurston. It became the inspiration for two films. It was originally published by Chapman and Hall in 1909, but because the copyright has expired, the text of the book is now in the public domain. There was a "new and illustrated" edition, with illustrations by Emile Verpilleux, published a year later in 1910. It may fairly be described as a sentimental novel: Temple Thurston himself wrote that "To many, from the first page to the last, it had not the faintest conception of reality, and indeed has earned for me the classification of sentimentalist". This was in the Author's Note to the sequel, entitled The World of Wonderful Reality, published a decade later in 1919. His obituary in The Times (20 March 1933) stated that "there were those who might suggest that sentimentalism was too evident in Temple Thurston's work". As well as being a vehicle for Edwardian romanticism, the novel shares the Roman Catholic faith of its author with its main characters. It is a tale of two cities: mainly Edwardian London, but also Venice.

## Films

The first film based on the novel was The City of Beautiful Nonsense, a silent movie released in 1919, which featured Henry Edwards, Chrissie White and Henry Vibart
The second film was a talkie, released in 1935 as City of Beautiful Nonsense. It starred Emlyn Williams, Sophie Stewart and Eve Lister. Both were filmed and produced in the United Kingdom.
In The Souvenir, Joanna Hogg's 2019 film, Honor Swinton Byrne reads to Tom Burke from the novel.

The Cross and the Switchblade is a studio album by the garage punk band Bantam Rooster. The album is heavier and more frantic than their debut album, Deal Me In.

## Production

## Critical reception

The Province wrote that the band "rocks ridiculously hard." The Detroit News called the album "a 16-track slab of the yowling, ballistic, tag-team R&B." Exclaim! thought that "T. Jackson Potter’s tight, frenzied guitar playing and yelping vocals drive the album along and it’s on winners like 'Safe Cracker', 'Tom Skinner' and 'Outta My Mind' that he really lets loose." Westword deemed it "a downright wicked collection of shifty, soulful garage-blues freakouts."

# The Elephant Ride

"The Elephant Ride" is a song by the British new wave band Squeeze. It was written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, and it appeared on their 1982 album Sweets from a Stranger.

## Background

Glenn Tilbrook said, "This is one of my favorite songs. It's beautiful and very much influenced by The Beach Boys in its arrangement, if not the tune. I'd been listening to Pet Sounds an awful lot at the time and this was one of the songs where rather than oppose the mood of the lyric, I tried to reflect it."
Chris Difford said, "This comes from a set of songs with "elephant" in the title. It was a story I came up with about a skinhead who had fallen in love with an Indian girl in Charlton. They couldn't hang out with each other because their parents wouldn't go along with the cross-pollination of their relationship. I thought it would make a good musical, because it was a racial story."

## Reception

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine said in his review of Sweets from a Stranger that "The Elephant Ride" was "shimmering" and "gorgeous."
