In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, and wrote: "The blowing intensity on any Graves' date is intense, but here it is over the top, as the Japanese players attempt to match his intensity."
Writing for The Wire, Alan Licht commented: "Graves firmly establishes himself as the pivotal figure, driving the ensemble but also acting as its steady hub, enabling the music to flow without fraying. 'Together and Moving' bristles with the excitement of the occasion yet it remains taut and purposeful. On 'Response' Graves plays piano, contemplative at first, then torrential."
In an article for Artforum, David Grundy called the tracks "extraordinarily joyous, multiphonic squalls, as if every rhythm under the sun were sounding at the same time."
A reviewer at Destination Out stated that "Response" "ranges widely, beginning as a percussion workout spurred by Graves' gripping ululations. Graves then moves to the piano for an open, searching episode, suggesting echoes of Alice Coltrane's spiritual pursuits. Not surprisingly, Graves has a highly percussive approach to the piano, and gradually leads the horns to moments of abandon, before the concluding cool down. This is exactly the sort of meditation we can get behind — one that finds beauty in quiet moments as well as the storms life throws at us all."

## Inauguration

On 6 January 2023, the Marjing Polo Statue was inaugurated by Amit Shah, the then Minister of Home Affairs of the Union Government of India, in the presence of Nongthombam Biren, the then Chief Minister of Manipur, at a function organised by the Department of Tourism, Government of Manipur.
Regarding the inauguration, Amit Shah stated:
   "It is believed that Sagol Kangjei, the modern-day Polo game originated in Manipur. Today, inaugurated a 122 feet Marjing polo statue at the Marjing Polo Complex in Imphal. This will surely take the legacy forward and inspire more youngsters toward the game."

## Significance

Nongthombam Biren, the Chief Minister of Manipur, said that the 122 feet tall Marjing polo statue will "highlight the significance of the birthplace of Polo and revive the glory of Manipur". He also stressed the significance of the statue, being the tallest and the biggest polo statue, inaugurated in recognition of Sagol Kangjei, Sagol Lanmi (Meitei for 'cavalry'), Arambai, etc.

## Reception

A critic from The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that " In the end, despite looking colourful, this Andhra Mess ends up serving us fare that lacks spice". The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote that "A lot of interesting bits that add up to nothing". A critic from Deccan Chronicle gave a similar rating and noted that "Andhra Mess tries to provide a uniquely flavorful experience but comes out forced and undercooked.

# My Tracks

My Tracks was a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking application that ran on Android. The application used a device's GPS capabilities to collect data, allowing real-time review of path, speed, distance, and elevation. Later, this data could be saved to Google Maps, Google Fusion Tables, or Google Docs and shared with Google+, Facebook, or Twitter. The application also allowed a user to record annotations along the path, hear periodic voice announcements of progress, and sync with select third-party bio-metric sensors.
In 2016, Google announced that My Tracks would be deprecated and no longer available in the Google Play Store. An in-app popup alerted users that My Tracks would stop working on April 30, 2016;

## History

The application made its debut on February 12, 2009 under a closed license. A year later on March 28, 2010, Google announced the open-sourcing of the application, stating that "The collective intelligence of the development community will create a more powerful, more intuitive, more useful, and more robust My Tracks." The first major re-haul of the application came on July 13, 2012 when Google released version 2.0. This introduced a new interface, support for playing back data in Google Earth for Android, improved charts, and additional statistics. In 2014 the developers announced on the google code project site that My Tracks would no longer developed in the open and that the source code would be removed. The last open source version was 2.0.5 released in August 2013.

# Fates Worse Than Death

Fates Worse than Death, subtitled An Autobiographical Collage of the 1980s, is a 1991 collection of essays, speeches, and other previously uncollected writings by author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. In the introduction to the book, Vonnegut acknowledges that the book is similar to an earlier book, Palm Sunday. In it he discusses his attempted suicide.
Due to the autobiographical nature of the book, Vonnegut provides some details about his upbringing and life, such as his childhood in Indiana. His education at Cornell University, Carnegie Tech, University of Tennessee, and University of Chicago are briefly mentioned as well.
Vonnegut also describes life experiences that are found in his novels. For example, Slaughterhouse-Five deals with a firebombing of Dresden, Germany, an event that he was present at during his time in the Army. Specifically, "I was a battalion scout, a PFC, who was captured on the border of Germany in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. Thus did I happen to be a laborer under guard in Dresden when it was firebombed on February 13, 1945." As this experience was similar to that of Jewish prisoners in World War II, Vonnegut's use of "liberated" to describe his release is somewhat unsurprising. In fact, he "spent some time with concentration camp survivors and heard their stories before returning to the American lines." Despite similarities between Vonnegut's experiences and those of the main character of the book, Billy Pilgrim, Vonnegut stated, "The firebombing at Dresden explains absolutely nothing about why I write what I write and am what I am." He does give some insight to his motivation for writing though, saying, "the villains in my books ... are never individuals. The villains again: culture, society, and history."
This book also includes a "humanist requiem" that Vonnegut wrote as a reaction to the Roman Catholic Requiem, which he had heard in Andrew Lloyd Webber's setting and whose text he found "terrible and sadistic". Vonnegut's own text was then set as a "Cosmos Cantata" by the composer Seymour Barab, of whom Vonnegut said, "Barab's music is full of magic. He proved to an atheist that God exists. What an honor to have worked with him."
The ending of this text is as follows:
    "Let not eternal light disturb our sleep, O Cosmos, for Thou art merciful. Deliver me, O Cosmos, from everlasting wakefulness. On that dread day when the heavens and earth shall quake, when we shall dissolve the world into glowing ashes in the name of gods unknowable, I am seized with trembling and I am afraid until that day of reckoning shall arrive. Hence I pray, Deliver me, O Cosmos, from everlasting wakefulness on that day of wrath, calamity and misery. Rest grant us, O Cosmos, and let not light perpetual disturb our sleep."

# Ice Cream Cone Mountain

Ice Cream Cone Mountain is an 8,675-foot-elevation (2,644-meter) mountain summit located 22 miles (35 km) east of Palmer, in the northern Chugach Mountains of Alaska. This peak is visible from the Glenn Highway near Mile 70 west of Kings Mountain. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's north slope drains into Carpenter Creek, a tributary of the Matanuska River, whereas the south slope drains into Metal Creek, a tributary of the Knik River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 5,200 feet (1,585 meters) above Metal Creek in 1.5 mile (2.4 km) and 5,675 feet (1,730 meters) above Carpenter Creek in 1.9 mile (3 km). The first ascent of the summit was made on July 3, 1967, by David P. Johnston, John Samuelson, and Hans Van der Laan via the Northeast Ridge. This mountain's local descriptive toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it is only marked as "8675" on USGS maps. Some climbers in Anchorage call this peak the "Sky Buster" which was the name applied by mountaineer Vin Hoeman.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Ice Cream Cone Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports small unnamed glaciers on its slopes. The months of May through June offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing.
# Journy

Journy (French pronunciation:) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais département in the Hauts-de-France region of France 10 miles (16 km) west of Saint-Omer.

# This Wreckage

"This Wreckage" is a song written and performed by Gary Numan. It was featured as the opening track on his 1980 second LP Telekon.
