# Chandler Beach

Chandler Belden Beach (1839–1928) was an American entrepreneur and encyclopedist. He founded the publishing company C. B. Beach & Company, later renamed F. E. Compton & Co. after his associate Frank Compton took it over,
Beach also served as a captain in the American Civil War. As a sales agent in Chicago for the Encyclopædia Britannica, he soon realized there was a market demand for a more light-weight encyclopedia.

## Works

Beach was the editor and publisher of Youth's Cyclopedia (2 volumes, 1892) and the Student's Cyclopaedia (2 volumes, 1893), which turned into The Student's Reference Work (1901).
The New Student's Reference Work was published by C. B. Beach & Company (1909,1911,1912), then by F. E. Compton & Co. from 1912.

## Legacy

Frank Compton was his associate since 1894, and became the general manager of C. B. Beach & Company in 1905. Compton took over the publishing firm when Beach retired in 1907, and the name of the company later changed to F. E. Compton & Co..
F. E. Compton & Co. went on to produce Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia in 1922.
Publishing rights to the F.E. Compton & Company products were acquired by Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. in 1961, and the encyclopedia is still in print as Compton's by Britannica.

# Evelyn Shakir

Evelyn Shakir (1938–2010) was a literary scholar. She was a pioneer in the study of Arab American literature, publishing some of the first academic papers to name Arab American literature as a field. She published several books, including Remember Me to Lebanon: Stories of Lebanese Women in America, a 2007 short story collection that won the Arab American National Book Award. Her memoirs were published posthumously as Teaching Arabs, Writing Self: Memoirs of an Arab-American Woman (Boston: Olive Branch Press, 2014). She is remembered on the Boston Women's Heritage Trail, and the Arab American Book Award nonfiction prize was renamed in her honor.

## Career

Shakir grew up in West Roxbury, the younger of two children of Lebanese immigrants. She graduated in 1956 from Girls’ Latin School in Boston.
She received a bachelor's degree from Wellesley College, where she studied English. Shakir received a master’s from Harvard and a doctorate from Boston University.
Shakir taught writing for many years at Bentley University in Waltham, where she was a professor emerita, and also taught at other colleges, including Northeastern and Tufts universities. A senior Fulbright scholar, she taught in the Middle East at the University of Bahrain and the University of Damascus.

## Publications

In 1997, Shakir published Bint Arab, for which she interviewed Arab-American women and added to their experiences the histories of her mother, Hannah Sabbagh Shakir, and her grandmothers. In part, Shakir used the book to chronicle the gradual shift among children of immigrants, principally from Lebanon and Palestine, as they moved from trying to erase their heritage through assimilation to adding the word Arab when describing themselves as American.
Shakir's short story collection Remember Me to Lebanon: Stories of Lebanese Women in America is set in various eras, from the 1960s to the present and occasionally hark back even to the turn of the twentieth century. Protagonists range in age from a teenager who resists her father’s understanding of honor, to an elderly woman who returns from the grave for one last try at whipping her family into shape. Most of the stories dramatize personal issues involving negotiation between generations and cultures. But others have a political dimension—one is set against the backdrop of the Lebanese civil war; another is a response to 9/11, narrated by a woman who keeps watch all day on the Arab family next door.
   Writing about other Arab-American women was the easy part; writing about my own experience took longer and was harder.

# Loing Canal

The Canal du Loing (French pronunciation:) is a 49.4 km long canal which connects the Seine at Saint-Mammès to the Briare Canal just north of Montargis, in central France. It runs through the Loiret and Seine-et-Marne départements.

## History

Philippe II, Duke of Orléans sought letters patent to build the canal in 1720, and it was completed in 1723. 3815 barges passed through in 1752 alone. Lock 20 is disused today, leaving 19 locks. The total fall is about 37m.
The canal is lateral to the river Loing except in two places where the river is used as part of the canal.
The Canal du Loing is part of the Bourbonnais route from Saint-Mammès on the Seine to Chalon-sur-Saône on the river Saône.

## Current use

The valley is wooded and pleasant throughout, with lakes resulting from former gravel pits. Commercial traffic has declined significantly, but the canal remains open all year round to accommodate barges, mostly carrying grain for export. The route is popular with private boats, and also sees some hire boats and hotel barges.

# The Blacklisted Collection

The Blacklisted Collection is the sixth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Vanessa Amorosi. It was released on 26 June 2020 and is Amorosi's first independent release.

## Background

The album consists of re-recorded songs or demos that were not included on previous albums. Amorosi told The Music Network "It's interesting why they might not have been included, didn't the sound work? Were the lyrics too intense? Didn't it make sense for them to be included on a pop record?" saying that releasing these was "so liberating for me because I'd been wanting to get these songs out for such a long time." It also includes some songs written and released within a week.

## Promotion

The album was launched via an exclusive one night event, live streamed on 27 June 2020 via online platform Tix Presents. The Blacklisted Collection was preceded by nine singles, released weekly leading up to the album's release. Amorosi said "Now that we have released nine singles every Monday I can understand why it is not done. Because it is really hard."

## Reception

Christie Eliezer from The Music Network said "The Blacklisted Collection is Amorosi's most compelling record to date, one which provides what she calls 'a missing link' to her art, and underlines her grasp for melodies and turning stories into narrative and anthemic arcs. The mood shifts from the radio-friendly '15,000 Revs' to the gorgeous sweet-grooved soul ballads 'Nobody Talks to You Like That' and 'The Last Goodbye' to the thrilling gospel workouts of 'The Light' and 'Sweet Mirage'".
