# The City Rooms, Leicester

The City Rooms is located in the heart of the City of Leicester in England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.

## History

The building, which was designed by John Johnson in the Greek Revival style, was completed in 1800. It was originally commissioned as Leicester's first hotel but the developer did have enough resources to complete it as such and, in 1799, sold it to a consortium led by the Duke of Rutland, who raised by public subscription the sum of £3,300 still needed to complete it. It opened as the Leicester Assembly Rooms on 17 September 1800 just in time to host the visitors to the Leicester Races held at Victoria Park.
The design for the building involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing the corner of Hotel Street and Market Place South; the central bay featured a porch with paired Tuscan order columns supporting an entablature; there was a large rounded headed window on the first floor flanked by two niches containing female musicians carved by John Charles Felix Rossi and two more large round headed windows beyond that. Internally, there was a large ballroom (75 feet (23 m) long, 33 feet (10 m) wide and 30 feet (9.1 m) high) on the first floor which was decorated with allegorical paintings by Ramsay Richard Reinagle and with statues based on models by John Bacon.
In 1817 the building was adapted to become the judges' lodgings; the conversion, which was undertaken by a local builder, Joshua Harrison, took two years to complete and once the building had passed into the ownership of the justices, it became known as the County Rooms. Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place of Leicestershire County Council. The building was in high demand and it was even used as a training facility by B Squadron, the Leicestershire Yeomanry at that time.
After County Hall was completed in 1967, the county council had limited use for the building and, after it was sold to Leicester City Council in 1986, it became known as The City Rooms. In 1990 a statue of a Seamstress, sculpted by James Butler, was unveiled outside the building: although not intended to represent any particular person, it served as a reminder of the importance that the hosiery industry once played in Leicester.
After the city council decided to sell the building to a developer, an extensive programme of restoration works intended to convert the building into a hotel with highly decorated meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, a bar and four luxurious bedrooms, was completed in 2005. The Prince of Wales attended a reception in the building, held in support of the Midlands Chapter of the British Asian Trust, on 11 February 2020.
# The Catalinas

The Catalinas are an American beach music band from the late 1950s.
Since the Catalinas formed in Charlotte, North Carolina, in late 1957, over 60 guitarists, keyboardists, trumpet players, drummers, bass players and singers have been a part of the band. Most have come from communities along the Interstate 77 corridor from Statesville to Charlotte.
Gary Barker, a Statesville resident who plays guitar and sings, is the current leader of the band. He started with the band in 1965, and has been the steadying influence for the last thirty years.
Barker attributes the band's long success to the ongoing popularity of beach music and the great tunes that the band has composed and recorded over the years. Some of their classics include, "You Haven't The Right", "Carolina Moon" and their signature song "Summertime's Calling Me" from 1975.
The band's lead vocalist, Tommy Black, died in a plane crash in 1968. Member Ronnie Gittens died in 2005.
In 1995, the Catalinas were inducted into the Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame. In 2013, the Catalinas were inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.
# The Difficulty of Being Good

The Difficulty of Being Good: On the Subtle Art of Dharma is a book written by Indian author Gurcharan Das and published by Penguin Random House. The book is centrally focused on why to be good in our day to day, private, and public life and the essence of Dharma, a key concept in Indian philosophy for righteousness, with reference to Indian epic Mahabharata.

## Synopsis

Book uses the examples from Hindu Epic, Mahabharata, to illustrate and demonstrate that how becoming good is difficult for an ordinary man. Book simplifies the lessons from the epic in various chapters and uses characters like Yudhisthira, Krishna, Arjuna and Karna to explain the importance of Dharma i.e. righteousness.

## Reception

The book was widely welcomed by several Indologists, columnists, commentators and several businessmen. Sanjaya Baru, writing for Outlook India had commented that the book reflects a new Gurcharan Das who is reflective, humane, deeply spiritual and secular—a renaissance man. According to him, Gurcharan voiced our(Indian's) despair about inequities and the amorality of public life and the books echoed voices for new India. Further, he wrote:
   Gurcharan offers us a secular reading of a great epic. The underlying materialism of its spiritual world is also illustrated.
Meghnad Desai, British labour politician, writing for Indian Express had asserted that Das did not retell the story as has often been done and instead, he took episodes and characters who pose moral and ethical questions. Desai also criticised Indian university system for not having good library for studying Sanskrit, in the context that author had to go Chicago for an year to study Sanskrit to prepare this book. A K Bhattacharya had explained the book as Gurcharan Das’ quest for the true meaning of Dharma, as expounded in Mahabharata. In the column for Business Standard, Bhattacharya wrote:
   So, Krishna, as Das has argued in a different context, was using “evil” to fight “evil”. The question is: Was that really evil and whether it was not Dharma? Debating the relevance or irrelevance of Dharma in such a battle indeed became a little meaningless. There is little doubt that Mahabharata as an epic raises intricate issues pertaining to the relevance of human action in a given role and in the context of pre-ordained fate. The debate over Dharma is also relevant. But Das would have done better if he had narrated the story of Mahabharata in all its details, instead of grappling with the ideas of Dharma or Nishkama Karma Yoga.
N Chandra Mohan, for Hindustan Times, wrote that Das certainly thinks that a healthy dose of Dharma may restore trust in the system. Additionally, he wrote that this book will certainly make Mahabharata accessible to a whole new generation.

## Translation

Book was translated in Hindi as Acchai Ki Kathinai and was published by Penguin Random House.

# The Feathered Priests

The Feathered Priests is an adventure published by Integrated Games in 1986 for any role-playing game system.

## Plot summary

The Feathered Priests is a role-playing scenario and gamemaster's aid written for any role-playing game system — conversion rules for Dungeons & Dragons, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and RuneQuest are included. The setting is the Endless Plains, where the players must recover a set of tarot-like cards.

## Publication history

Integrated Games planned a five-part fantasy role-playing adventure series called The Complete Dungeon Master Series. Between 1984 and 1986, Simon Forrest and Basil Barrett wrote four adventures, the last in 1986 being The Feathered Priests. This boxed set, with art by Judith Hickling, Huggam, and Fergus Hickling, contains a 16-page book, an 8-page pamphlet, a large two-color map, six cardstock sheets, a cardstock screen, and two sheets of play aids.
The Feathered Priests had been preceded by The Halls of the Dwarven Kings (1984), The Lost Shrine of Kasar-Khan (1985), and The Watchers of the Sacred Flame (1986). Integrated Games went out of business before a planned fifth adventure, Deep Water, Shallow Graves, was published.
In 1992, Flame Publications, an imprint of Games Workshop, bought the rights to The Complete Dungeon Master Series, and Simon Forrest, Brad Freeman and Graeme Davis revised all four adventures to conform to the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay rules, releasing them as the Doomstone Campaign Book Series. The Feathered Priests was retitled Dwarf Wars.

## Reception

In the July 1987 edition of White Dwarf #91, Paul Cockburn called this adventure "a cracker," although he admitted that this "echoes the other plots of the series with its race against time, find the clues [...] and a big reward in the offing." He concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "This is possibly the best adventure play aid for AD&D since Ravenloft, with which it shares certain similarities in terms of atmosphere and setting. I'll be running it more than once."

# The Feather Men

The Feather Men is a 1991 novel by the British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The book was initially published on 17 October 1991 by Bloomsbury Publishing. In 2011 it was loosely adapted into the film Killer Elite.

## Plot introduction

The book tells the story of four British Army soldiers, including two members of the Special Air Service, who are assassinated by a hit squad known as "The Clinic". The murders are carried out over a 17-year period, on the orders of a Dubai sheikh whose three sons were killed by British forces in Oman during a battle with Communist guerrillas.
Fiennes claimed that he himself was targeted by the group, but was saved by a group of vigilantes calling themselves the "Feather Men".

## Controversy

The novel caused considerable controversy over the claim that it was based on real events. Publisher Bloomsbury described it as a "true adventure" when it was published in 1991. Fiennes claimed that the Feather Men had shown him detailed dossiers on the assassins and their victims, and requested that he write an "authorised" history of the group. A source in the Ministry of Defence told The Daily Telegraph:
   Many events Fiennes describes simply never took place. Frankly, it's just another example of the Special Forces' reputation being exploited for commercial gain.
Fiennes himself remained vague on the story's veracity, asserting that it was up to the reader to decide whether it was fact or fiction, and suggested journalists subject events and people described in the book to "forensic examination", and to draw their own conclusions. Fiennes describes his novels as "factional", meaning a blend of fact and fiction. The hardcover editions had the words "Fact or fiction?" printed on the covers, and contained an index, maps and photographs as a non-fiction book would. The paperback editions, however, presented the book as purely fiction and omitted the index and illustrations.
There is a paperback edition of The Feather Men which includes photographs of the victims and other real life characters, a map (Oman in 1976) and other illustrations (e.g. a block diagram of the modification of the BMW car brake system to incorporate remote radio control) and an index. It was published by Signet in 1992.
In June 2010, Alice Clarke, the daughter of SAS soldier Major Mike Kealy whose death is depicted in The Feather Men at the hands of The Clinic, spoke out, saying that her father had died during an endurance exercise in the Brecon Beacons in 1979. Describing Fiennes' claims as "disgraceful", she stated that her mother had confronted the author at the Hay Festival, and he had admitted to her that the story was a work of fiction.
In 2011, Fiennes stated in an interview with The Daily Beast: "I had chose to change my mind from time-to-time in terms of answering people, and at the moment, I choose to say that the book, and therefore the film, are total fiction. In 20 years time, I might change my mind." He reaffirmed that he had the signed permission of the soldiers' families, including Kealy's wife, to mention them in the book.
# The Departure (short story)

"The Departure" (German: "Der Aufbruch") is a short story by Franz Kafka. Precisely when it was written is unknown, but it was probably sometime between February 1920 and February 1921. It was published only posthumously, appearing in Beschreibung eines Kampfes: Novellen, Skizzen, Aphorismen aus dem Nachlaß in 1936. Max Brod edited the volume, and is credited with giving this piece its name.
The piece takes the form of a conversation between a servant and his master. The master orders his servant to saddle his horse, but the servant fails to understand. The master then hears a trumpet sound, which his servant does not hear. The master sets about to leave, and the servant asks where he is going. The man's only answer is that his goal is to get away from his present location, rather than to seek out any particular destination.
# The European (2009 magazine)

The European is a German magazine published in Berlin, Germany. The magazine's name does not describe a thematic of geographic focus but alludes to the discursive tradition of European culture and politics.

## History and profile

The European was first published in September 2009. Its publisher and editor-in-chief is Alexander Görlach, former editor-in-chief of Cicero Online, who previously worked for both ZDF and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The magazine's office is located in Berlin, Germany.
The European features opinion articles, regular columns and interviews. Its claim is "Views, not News". According to its mission statement, "The European is an opinion magazine". Its authors "debate important political and cultural issues within the framework of journalistic news analysis."
Opinion articles are grouped into thematically focused debates and are contributed by outside "experts" from academia, media, politics, business, science, and culture. Prominent contributors include José Manuel Barroso, Fareed Zakaria, Nicholas Siegel, Martti Ahtisaari, Gareth Evans, Joseph Stiglitz, and Steven Pinker. According to Görlach, The European does not have a specific political leaning but strives to bring differing opinions into dialogue with each other. The German version of the magazine also features a growing circle of regular columnists who write about topics that range from domestic politics to gender issues, European economics, digital culture, and the media.
The magazine is financed through advertising, event organizing and through the work of a separate consulting business, which aims to aid companies and organizations with their social media and outreach strategies. Political parties, publishing houses, religious organizations, unions or interest groups have no investment in The European.

## The European in English

In October 2010, The European launched an English version of the magazine that is aimed at an international audience. It features debates on geopolitical issues, European "voices", and regular interviews about politics, science, and culture. The European maintains a network of international media partners that includes The Huffington Post (United States), Mediapart (France), Der Standard (Austria), Linkiesta (Italy) and several German publications.

## Print

In June 2012, Görlach announced the inaugural print edition of The European. The first issue was published in September 2012 (circulation 50,000). The print magazine follows a quarterly schedule and focuses on "big issues" beyond the daily news cycle. It is available on newsstands in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
# The Funky Worm

The Funky Worm was a British dance music studio project, assembled by record producer Mark Brydon. The group took its name from the hit Ohio Players song "Funky Worm."
The group also contained saxophonist Sim Lister. Its track "Hustle! (To the Music...)" went to No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1988. Original band founders DJs Parrot and Ping Pong (Carl Munson), were joined by the singer (now actress) Julie Stewart and were signed by WEA, before reaching No. 13 in the UK Singles Chart with "Hustle! (To the Music)...". Two less successful tracks, "The Spell! (Get Down with the Genie)" (1988) and "U + Me = Love" (1989) followed.
"The Spell! (Get Down with the Genie)" appears in the Only Fools and Horses episode "Yuppy Love".
In 1995, Brydon formed the duo Moloko with Róisín Murphy.
# The Great House of God

The Great House Of God: A Home for Your Heart is a Christian religious book written by Max Lucado and published by Word Publishing in 1997. Terry Burns of the Pembroke Daily Observer called The Great House of God "an excellent book on the Lord's Prayer". The Christian Science Monitor listed The Great House of God fifth on its quarterly list of hardcover religion bestsellers in December 1997. In a Publishers Weekly review, Henry Carrigan writes that, although the thoughts in the book "might be powerful in their spoken form, the brevity and the shallowness of their written form abandons readers in the foyer". In a Booklist article, Ray Olson compares the book to Philip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace?, which was also published in 1997, and argues that, although Lucado and Yancey have each written several bestselling Christian books, Yancey's book is better edited.
# The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845–1849

# The Gospel of Eureka

The Gospel of Eureka is a 2018 documentary directed by Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher about the lives of LGBT individuals and evangelical Christians in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
# The Gospel of Corax

The Gospel of Corax is a 1996 novel by Paul Park about an escaped Roman slave (Corax) who travels from Caesarea to India with a burly Essene man named Jeshua.
The novel is a suggestion of a historical Jesus' whereabouts during his "disappearance" from the historical record between childhood and his thirties. This is based on the theory (first postulated by Nicolas Notovitch) that the historical Jesus travelled to India.
According to a review in In Newsweekly:
   Corax is an ex-slave on the lamb in this interesting first-person narrative. He lives in Roman society at a time when professional skills – literacy, chemistry, medicine, surgery and astronomy – were sometimes the province of well-kept slaves rather than free citizens. These same skills serve Corax well in his trek across the ancient Middle East as he plays many roles to keep his freedom and his life. Whether he's acting as a thief and prostitute or a healer and diplomat, Corax's story is sprinkled with satisfying historical, practical, and metaphysical commentary.
# The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America

The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America is a 1962 book by the political historian Daniel J. Boorstin. In his book, Boorstin argues that Americans have a false "image" of what "news" actually is. He argues that Americans mistake certain "pseudo-events" for real news, when in fact they are the contrivances of politicians and news corporations.
The Image begins by noting that Americans have "extravagant expectations" when it comes to their news consumption. To a degree, they demand to be entertained. Truly important, naturally occurring news stories, however, do not occur regularly or predictably—there may be droughts of newsworthy stories. In order to "fill the gap," news corporations report what Boorstin calls "pseudo-events." Pseudo-events are political spectacles (usually) organized by politicians to tell a certain narrative. For example, a mayor may "cut the ribbon" at the grand re-opening of a historic hotel; the president may "pardon a turkey"; or, most commonly, a politician might organize a press release. These pseudo-events, however, are often mistaken for real news. And, more importantly, the media consumers seeing these pseudo-events often mistakenly believe these politicians are engaging "in politics."
The Image is also well-known for defining a celebrity as "a person who is known for his well-knownness." Boorstin argued that in the 1960s leaders were beginning to resemble "media stars" rather than politicians. Boorstin further warned that if the voting public continued to be inundated with pseudo-events and un-nuanced media coverage, these media stars would soon dominate the political landscape. Of important note, this book was written in the years following the 1960 presidential election, where many commentators have noted that Kennedy's appearance and demeanor on the first televised presidential debate may have swung the election.
