The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "Tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford works surprisingly well with Blake, whose phrasing and use of space are unusual, while his interpretations are sometimes based on the feeling he gets from song titles rather than the chord changes... Another intriguing Ran Blake set".

# Delhi Accord

Delhi Accord was a tripartite agreement (verbal) in Delhi after mutual agreement between Ranas, Nepali congress party and King Tribhuban.

## Background

The Rana regime of Nepal started in 1846 when Jung Bahadur Rana assumed full power after the Kot massacre. This reduced the status of the king to a mere figurehead and vested all powers in the hands of the hereditary prime ministers of the Rana family. This regime was highly authoritarian, isolationist and oppressive. The Rana prime ministers restricted education to just the members of the Rana family and some other aristocrats, executed and imprisoned any objectors and held the royal family captive. In time, anti-Rana sentiments grew strong among aristocrats who worked with Nepalis living in India to fuel a revolution against the oppressive regime. King Tribhuvan's anti-Rana attitude had been an open secret for a long time in Nepal.

## Aftermath

* Mohan Shamsher – Prime minister and Foreign Affairs.
* Baber Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana – Defence.
* Chudraj Shamsher – Forests.
* Nripa Janga Rana – Education.
* Yagya Bahadur Basnyat – (Rana Bhardar) – Health and Local self-government.:
* Subarna Shamsher Rana – Finance.
* B.P. Koirala – Home.
* Ganesh Man Singh – Commerce and Industry
* Bharatmani Sharma – Food and Agriculture
* Bhadrakali Mishra – Transport.
This cabinet was reshuffled on 10 June 1951 to replace Baber Shamsher by Shangha Shamsher and Bharatmani Sharma by Surya Prasad Upadhyaya

He was not initially re-elected at the end of the legislative term in 2004, but he returned to the assembly on 2 September 2005, filling another casual vacancy.
During his second term in the National Assembly, in 2008, Dithebe clashed with ANC Provincial Chairperson Ace Magashule after he and another ANC politician, Vax Mayekiso, took the Free State ANC to court, alleging that there had been electoral irregularities in party elective conferences which had the effect of blocking Magashule's opponents from regional leadership positions. Dithebe said that he had been blocked from the leadership of the Lejweleputswa regional branch. Both he and Mayekiso were suspended from party activities on the grounds that their involvement in the court applications transgressed the party's rules, and they also sought to challenge their suspensions in court.
In 2018, Dithebe was again closely involved in an unsuccessful court challenge that attempted to block that year's ANC provincial elective conference, again alleging irregularities by Magashule's supporters. He made a political comeback in January 2023 when he was elected to the Provincial Executive Committee of the Free State ANC.

# Lawrence Andreasen

Lawrence Edwin "Larry" Andreasen (November 13, 1945 – October 26, 1990) was an American diver. He represented his country at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he received the bronze medal in springboard diving.

## Life
### Competition

Andreasen started diving at the age of 14; his first dive was into the backyard pool of 1952 and 1956 Olympic diving champion Pat McCormick and her husband Glenn, whose house was on Andreasen's Seal Beach newspaper delivery route. When he was 17, Andreasen won a California state championship and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national junior and senior springboard championships, and finished second in the AAU 10 metre platform dive. He was later selected for the AAU team competing against a Japanese team in 1963, where he beat Toshio Yamano, Japan's representative for the 1960 3 metre springboard competition.
Andreasen's Tokyo 1964 finish capped an Olympic springboard diving medal sweep for the American team, with Ken Sitzberger and Frank Gorman placing first and second, respectively. Gorman had beaten Andreasen (second) and Sitzberger (third) at the U.S. Olympics trials the previous month. Just before his turn on the diving board, the Japanese diver ahead of him struck the board, and Andreasen jumped into the pool to pull him out.

### Exhibition

Andreasen was also noted for his exhibition diving, showcasing his talents at the dedication ceremonies for the Peck Park swimming pool in San Pedro in 1962. When the Cunard Line's Queen Mary ocean liner was permanently retired in Long Beach harbor in 1967 as a tourist attraction, at the grand opening festivities Andreasen dove off the ship's bridge into the harbor, delighting the crowd although the impact heavily bruised his entire upper body for days afterward.

### Bridges and death

In later years, Andreasen several times attempted to set the record for the highest dive from a bridge. On September 29, 1988 he successfully jumped 160 feet (49 m) from the Gerald Desmond Bridge in Long Beach, California. A 4-foot (1.2 m) overhang meant he could not attempt a dive headfirst, thus preventing him from breaking the record. He was cited for an infraction by the police for this undertaking, and he swore off further attempts, saying "I've had it with diving ... That's it, I'm retired" from the hospital where he was taken after the fall temporarily paralyzed his chest and arms.
In December 1988, he was talked down by police from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles in another attempt to break the record, later saying he "just wanted to see if he had the old Olympic stuff." Andreasen was arrested for trespassing at the same bridge in April 1989, and he was committed to Metropolitan State Hospital for his safety in March 1990, but was reported missing late in the evening of October 25. On October 26, 1990, Andreasen was killed after apparently diving from the 385-foot (117 m) west tower of the same bridge. His death was ruled an accident.
