# Santaland Diaries

"Santaland Diaries" is an essay written by David Sedaris. It is a humorous account of Sedaris' stint working as a Christmas elf in "Santaland" at Macy's department store.
Sedaris first read the essay on National Public Radio's Morning Edition on December 23, 1992. The piece was well received, and provided Sedaris with his first major break. Sedaris stated at the time, "It seems that everyone in the world was listening to the radio that day."
Sedaris later published the essay in the collections Barrel Fever (1994) and Holidays on Ice (1997). A much longer version of the piece first aired on December 20, 1996, on the Public Radio International program This American Life. In 1996, Joe Mantello adapted Sedaris' essay for the stage as a one-man, one-act play, which debuted (as The Santaland Diaries) at the Atlantic Theater Company in New York City on November 7, 1996. Timothy Olyphant originated the role. Mantello's adaptation has since become a seasonal staple of regional, college, and high-school theatre.
In 2020, Sedaris admitted that he was unhappy with the popularity of Santaland Diaries and said, "I have no idea why that went over the way that it did."

## Factual accuracy

Although Sedaris has claimed that the account is true, fact-checking by This American Life and others in the wake of the Mike Daisey Foxconn controversy has clouded the issue. In 2007, writing for The New Republic, Alexander S. Heard fact-checked various aspects of Sedaris's stories, including Santaland Diaries, and found that several aspects were exaggerated and manufactured, although Sedaris did work in Macy's during the time period represented. Although some defended Sedaris by stating that his intention was to entertain, not provide accurate information as in the case of Daisey, NPR's executive editor of news programming has stated that a reader alert is warranted.

# King Alfred (poem)

King Alfred is an epic poem by John Fitchett (died 1838) and completed by Robert Roscoe, published in 1841 and 1842. It is currently the longest English poem.

## Overview

The poem narrates—in dramatic terms—King Alfred's ongoing battles against the Danes. Supernatural powers intervene to aid both sides: the Archangel Michael and his hosts—on behalf of the English—and Lucifer and his hosts—on behalf of the Danes.
* Can King Alfred—although beaten—engineer a successful military comeback against overwhelming odds?
* Will the remaining Danes—inured to warfare from their youth—ever be able to peaceably co-exist with other races upon English soil?

## History

The great work of John Fitchett's life was one which occupied his leisure hours for forty years, and in the composition of which he bestowed unwearied industry and acute research. It was printed at Warrington for private circulation at intervals between 1808 and 1834, in five quarto volumes. It was cast in the form of a romantic epic poem, the subject being the life and times of King Alfred, including, in addition to a biography of Alfred, an epitome of the antiquities, topography, religion, and civil and religious condition of the country. He rewrote part of the work, but did not live to finish it. He left money for printing a new edition, and the work of supervising it was undertaken by his pupil, clerk, and friend, Robert Roscoe (son of William Roscoe), who completed the task by adding 2,585 lines, the entire work containing more than 131,000 lines. This prodigious monument was published by Pickering in 1841–2, in six volumes, 8vo, with the title of 'King Alfred, a Poem.'
# John Adams Lee

John Adams Lee (born Flemingsburg, Kentucky, June 28, 1851; died Chicago, Illinois, October 10, 1928) was an American grocer and politician. He served as the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of Missouri from 1901 to April 25, 1903, when he resigned over his part in the Baking Powder Scandal.

## Early life

John Adams Lee's father, James A. Lee, could trace his ancestry back to colonial Virginia. Born in Kentucky, John Adams Lee's family moved to St. Louis when he was six, returning to Kentucky in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War. After being educated in the public schools in Kentucky, Lee went to work in Louisville, Kentucky and ended up in the grocery business as a traveling merchant.

## Missouri political career

By 1881 Lee had returned to St. Louis. In 1891 he was involved with a trade journal called The Inter-State Grocer. In 1893 he was appointed Police Commissioner of St. Louis by Democratic Governor William J. Stone, serving until 1897.
In 1896, Lee ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor. In 1900, Lee was elected Lieutenant governor of Missouri on the Democratic ticket with Alexander Monroe Dockery. He resigned his office on April 25, 1903 as a result of the Baking Powder Scandal.

## Baking Powder Scandal

The introduction of an alum-based baking powder by the Calumet Baking Powder Company in 1888 lead the Royal Baking Powder Company, the chief seller of cream of tartar-based baking powder, to conduct a campaign of marketing, disinformation, and legal actions against alum baking powder - the "baking powder wars". In 1899 Royal persuaded Missouri to pass a law banning the sale of alum baking powder on safety grounds. However, the law became a political issue, with grocers and others pressuring the legislature to repeal the law.
Adams, who served as president of the Senate as part of his position as lieutenant governor, solicited and received bribes from Royal to keep the alum ban in place, some of which he passed on to Frank H. Farris and other senators. Adams used his vote as presiding officer to break a tie and defeat the repeal effort. After the scheme became public, Adams briefly fled the state before returning and testifying to a grand jury, which lead to unsuccessful efforts to prosecute Farris and the officers of the Royal Baking Powder Company.

## Family

Lee married Virginia Gathwright in 1880 in Louisville, Kentucky. They had four children - Virginia Dorcas (born 1881), Minnie Deming (b. 1884), James Owen (b. 1886), and Eva Gathwright (b. 1889).
Virginia Dorcas Lee married millionaire newspaper publisher and Boy Scouts of America founder William D. Boyce in 1910; after they had a daughter named Virginia in 1911, they were divorced in 1912 and Virginia Dorcas, her daughter and her parents all moved to Santa Barbara, California.
Lee later moved to Chicago and self-published a book How to Buy and Sell Canned Foods (1926). He died in 1928 and is buried in the Acacia Park Cemetery in Norwood Park Township to the northwest of Chicago.

# Pop culture fiction

Pop culture fiction is a genre of fiction where stories are written intentionally to be filled with references from other works and media. Stories in this genre are focused solely on using popular culture references.

## Criteria

Some works in the genre use pop culture references to elicit nostalgia among its consumers, while other examples have the whole setting and universe themselves built upon and revolves around pop cultural references. Pop culture fiction doesn't just reference one or two titles, but works under this genre reference several titles across different genres and media.
Many types of postmodern works and modern-day homage, metafiction, satires and parodies fall under this category. But unlike more typically comedic satires and parodies, pop culture fiction contains depth, complexities and serious themes, with many even garnering critical acclaim. Many such stories have also been inspired by video games, horror, and geek culture.

## Examples
### Notable pop culture fiction books

* Bret Easton Ellis' novel American Psycho (both the book and film) became one of the earliest examples of this genre with its endless use of brands and criticism on business and mindless consumerism.
* Ernest Cline's Ready Player One and Ready Player Two which extensively use 1980s pop culture as its themes.
* Louis Bulaong's Escapist Dream and its sequel Otaku Girl are novels that genre-busts popular geek culture and topics into one virtual reality story.
* Chris Fox's The Dark Lord Bert is a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired gamelit filled with pop culture references.

### List of pop culture fiction in comic format

* Scott Pilgrim which used various 1980s gaming references.
* Warren Ellis's Planetary.
* Outside of Western media, works such as Hayate The Combat Butler and Gin Tama have also become famous examples.
# And a Nightingale Sang

And a Nightingale Sang is a play by British playwright C.P. Taylor (1977) and commissioned by Newcastle upon Tyne's Live Theatre Company. Described as a bitter-sweet comedy, the play is set in Newcastle during World War II and portrays Helen Stott and her family as they cope on the home front with life during the war. The play's name is derived from a popular war-time song sung by Vera Lynn called "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square".
The play has frequently been produced both in Britain and the US. It was made into a television film in 1989 by Jack Rosenthal for Tyne Tees Television, which was produced by Philip Hinchcliffe, executive-produced by Victor Glynn and directed by Rob Knights. It starred Joan Plowright, Phyllis Logan, John Woodvine, Stephen Tompkinson and Tom Watt. It won many awards including the prestigious Prix Europa in 1990.

## Plot

As the youngest of the family, Joyce is preoccupied with her love life. She wants to be married but can't make up her mind to accept Eric, who has just joined up and is eager to settle the matter before he is posted abroad. As Joyce's confidante, Helen tolerates her sister's agonies of indecision while hiding her own frustration. With her pronounced limp, Helen assumes that no man will ever want her.
The elder members of the family pursue their diversions from the daily routine. With George (Dad), it is his addiction to the piano which he plays with more enthusiasm than skill. "Mam" takes refuge in her fervent Catholicism while Andie (Grandad) has more regard for his pets than for his family.
When they hear the air raid siren for the first time, the Stotts are in confusion, stuffing tablecloths under the back door to stop the poison gas, desperately chasing about for gas masks and diving under the table when a long high whistle warns of an approaching bomb. By the time that Helen realizes that the whistle is actually from the kettle that Mam had put on for a cup of tea, Joyce has made up her mind to marry Eric.
# His Favorite Pastime

His Favorite Pastime is a 1914 American comedy film starring Charlie Chaplin.

## Synopsis

Charlie gets drunk in the bar. He steps outside, meets a pretty woman, tries to flirt with her, only to retreat after the woman's father returns. Returning to the bar, Charlie drinks some more and engages in rogue behaviors with others. He finally leaves the bar, sees the woman leaving, follows the woman home, and proceeds to make a nuisance of himself, eventually getting kicked out of the house.

## Reviews

Although Chaplin had only been making comedies for Mack Sennett's Keystone Studio for less than two months when this film was released in March 1914, a reviewer from Moving Picture World recognized Chaplin's merry-making talents. He wrote, "The comedian, whose favorite pastime is drinking cocktails, is clever. In fact, [he is] the best one Mack Sennett has ever sprung on the public. He is a new one and deserves mention."
Motion Picture News was also full of praise for His Favorite Pastime. Its reviewer wrote, "If there is an audience any where that does not roar when they see this comedy, they cannot be in full possession of their wits. It is absolutely the funniest thing the Keystone Company has ever put out, and this is not written by a press agent. Mr. Chaplin has introduced a number of funny actions that are original to the American stage."

## Cast

* Charlie Chaplin - Drunken masher
* Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle - Shabby drunk
* Peggy Pearce - Beautiful lady

# Gwadar East Bay Expressway

Gwadar East Bay Expressway (Urdu: مشرقی خلیج بزرگرہ, Balochi: دیمی زر بزرگرہ) is a municipal expressway in Gwadar, Balochistan, Pakistan. The six lane expressway was inaugurated by Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Shahaz Shareef on 3 June 2022. It connects Gwadar Port to the Makran Coastal Highway. The Gwadar Port Authority is supervising the project.
The project is developed as part of the "Early Harvest" scheme of China Pakistan Economic Corridor, and is part of a wider Rs. 170.667 billion (US$590 million) development package for the city and Port of Gwadar.
The cost of the project is approximately Rs. 14.7 billion (US$51 million), and will be financed by interest-free loans extended by China's state owned banks. Pakistan will be required only to repay the principal value of the loan. As a condition for receiving a zero-interest rate loan, bidding for the project was limited to Chinese state-owned companies, and the contract was awarded on a government-to-government basis.
# S/2003 J 16

S/2003 J 16 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers led by Brett J. Gladman in 2003.
S/2003 J 16 is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 0.137 AU (20.5 Gm) in 600 days, at an inclination of 151° to the ecliptic (149° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.333. It belongs to the Ananke group of retrograde irregular moons which orbit Jupiter between 19.3 and 22.7 Gm, at inclinations of roughly 150°.
This moon was once considered lost until September 2010, when it was recovered by Christian Veillet with Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). However, the recovery observations of S/2003 J 16 were not reported by the Minor Planet Center until 2020, when Ashton et al. independently identified the moon in the same CFHT images taken by Veillet back in September 2010. S/2003 J 16 was also identified in observations by Scott Sheppard from March 2017 to May 2018, cumulating a long observation arc of 5,574 days (15 years) since its discovery. The recovery of S/2003 J 16 was formally announced by the Minor Planet Center on 4 November 2020.
