# Desmond Elliott

Desmond Elliott (24 December 1930 – 12 August 2003) was a British publisher and literary agent. He started his career with the publishing house Macmillan before going on to found his own publishing company, Arlington Books. In a career spanning nearly 60 years he was responsible for discovering a number of writers who went on to be bestsellers including Penny Vincenzi and Jilly Cooper.

## Career

Desmond Elliott was born in London on Christmas Eve 1929. Following the death of his father, he was placed in the Royal Masonic Orphanage in Dublin, Ireland at the age of 10. He was well educated and won a scholarship to Trinity College, Dublin, however, he decided to travel to England in 1947 at the age of 16, with just £2 and a letter of introduction from the editor of The Irish Times.
Elliot first worked as an office boy for Macmillan Publishers, before joining Hutchinson (publisher) and then Michael Joseph (publisher). After being fired by Max Reinhardt (publisher) he received £1,000 compensation and a job offer from Sidney Bernstein, of ITV Granada – who then had second thoughts. Using the remainder of his compensation, he set up as an independent agent in 1960 and founded Arlington books.
His dedication and business sense made Elliott one of the most successful men in his field. Elliot was key to the creation of a list of hugely successful blockbuster novelists such as Candida Lycett Green, Penny Vincenzi, and Lynda Lee-Potter. He also introduced Tim Rice to Andrew Lloyd Webber as an early client. Respected and loved by his authors, in the words of Candida Lycett Green, Elliott was simply "magic".

## Lifestyle

Desmond Elliott lived his life with verve, drinking only champagne, and treating Fortnum & Mason as his local "cornershop" He only ever crossed the Atlantic on Concorde. His office was in Mayfair, and he had houses in St. James's and on Park Avenue.

## The Desmond Elliott Prize

Before his death in 2003, Desmond Elliott stipulated that his literary estate should be invested in a charitable trust that would fund a literary award "to enrich the careers of new writers". The annual Desmond Elliott Prize was therefore founded in 2007, awarding a sum of £10,000 to the author of a first novel published in the UK. Elliott told novelist Sam Llewellyn his ideal novel was a "cross between a treasure hunt and a race" and the winning novel must therefore exhibit depth and breadth with a compelling narrative.
# Saint George (Donatello)

Saint George (Italian: San Giorgio) is a marble sculpture by Donatello. It is one of fourteen sculptures commissioned by the guilds of Florence to decorate the external niches of the Orsanmichele church. St. George was commissioned by the guild of the armorers and sword makers, the Arte dei Corazzai e Spadai.
A stone thrown at the sculpture in 1858 broke its nose, and in 1892 Donatello's St. George was moved to the Bargello Museum in Florence. From 1892 to 2008 a bronze replica was placed in the original niche, to be replaced by a marble replica on 23 April 2008. The original sculpture was stolen from the Villa Medici in Poggio a Caiano, but in May 1945 it was recovered by Frederick Hartt in Neumelans in the South Tyrol and returned to Florence on 20 July 1945. The box base was added back onto the statue in 1976.

## Description

Saint George is sculptured as a young, brave, determined and strong man in armor. He is not standing in contrapposto, although his right leg is turned to the same angle as his shield, visibly his weight is on both legs. Even though he is fully clothed, there is still the sense of a muscular body underneath. His right hand originally probably held some sort of a blade. Drill marks on his head indicate, that he probably also wore some kind of helmet or wreath.
St George's eyes are looking up and his face indicates some kind of anxiety and emotionality before attacking the dragon. His eyebrows are knit together and there are wrinkles on his forehead.

### Relief

There is a stone relief under the figure, that is displaying a woman observing St George slaying the dragon in the middle. There is a cave on the left, colonnade on the right and the relief also has a background with trees. The closest objects are carved in relatively high relief, whereas the cave, the colonnade and the background trees are carved in low relief. This technique is called stiacciato.

# Zezé (novel)

Zezé is a Spanish novel written by Ángeles Vicente and published in 1909. Its importance lies in the fact that it is the first Spanish-language novel to deal with lesbian themes, and one of the first in Europe and the Americas.

## The author

Little is known about the author. Ángeles Vicente García was born in Murcia in 1878. Then, in 1888, when she was 10 years old, she moved to Argentina, from where she returned to Spain in 1906. After her return from Argentina, she settled with her husband, Cándido Elormendi, in Madrid. She worked as a collaborator for newspapers and magazines, and eventually published several books. After her first book was published, she separated from her husband and lived on what she earned from her writing, together with her father and a maid.
In Madrid, she frequented intellectual circles and met Rubén Darío and Miguel de Unamuno, among others. Felipe Trigo, the most successful Spanish author of erotic novels at the time, praised her for her beauty. He would eventually write the prologue to her first book, Teresilla (1907).

## Plot

The novel takes place during a nocturnal sea voyage between Buenos Aires and Montevideo, although most of the action takes place in Madrid. During the night, Zezé (a cabaret singer ) and a writer (a stand-in for the author herself) share a cabin. Zezé tells the author her life story and her observations about the human condition. She begins by talking about her time at a convent school, where she discovered sex with a female classmate, and then talks about her life in Madrid, where she struggled to make her way against misogyny and the problems posed by social conventions.

## Analysis

Strictly speaking, the book is a Bildungsroman, with picaresque undertones, about a woman searching for her identity and dignity. The novel speaks in favor of living a lifestyle as a single person, based on affection and regardless of gender. One of the novel's most remarkable traits is the way the plot deals with a lesbian relationship. The fact is so unusual as to be the first mention of its kind in a Spanish-language novel and one of the first in Europe and the Americas.
The story denounces the marginalization of and lack of solidarity with women in early 20th-century society. It especially criticizes the predominant machismo and Don Juanism of the time. Vicente criticizes three aspects of society: family, school, and the Church, all of which she blames for the oppression caused by sanctimonious morality and the petite bourgeoisie. The solution would have come through education. In the meantime, it would only leave the possibility of solitude and the company of simple people.
The author cannot be categorized within either of the two currents of the time: the Generation of '98 and Regenerationism. The novel is clearly in favor of naturalism, in Rousseau's sense, and against conventionalism, and the author is nostálgica de un romanticismo que ella misma entrevé caduco
The novel was rescued from oblivion by Hispanic studies scholar Ángela Ena Bordonada in a 2005 reprint. It is considered one of the founding milestones of LGBT literature in Spain.
# Punch in/out

Punch in/out is an audio and video term that originated as a recording technique used on early multitrack recordings whereby a portion of the performance was recorded onto a previously recorded tape, usually overwriting any sound that had previously been on the track used. The erasing and/or recording heads had to be very carefully aligned and applied to the tape surface with delicate timing and precision to avoid ruining the recording, and the practice was feared by most producers and engineers.
After the advent of 16- and 24-track equipment it was no longer necessary to risk the recording as a whole, as an empty portion of another track could be dedicated to such use. Vocalists in particular would usually record several renditions over separate parallel tracks, with the producers choosing the best bits from the layered vocals to mix together. The term "punching in" remained in use despite this fact.

## In digital recording

In modern, digital audio workstation-based recording environments, punching in and out can be done automatically by pre-selecting the in and out points on the timeline of the DAW. When the record button is pressed, the DAW software will play back the previously recorded track outside of these points. As soon as the playhead reaches the in-point, the recording begins and the previously recorded material is muted. At the out-point, recording stops and the software reverts to playback.

## Rapping

A more recent form of recording music, also dubbed "punching in" is the concept of creating a song by saying every bar rather than writing it down, while pausing to think of a next one to record until the entire song comes together, done in a similar fashion to freestyling. This improvisation technique was popularized by Jay-Z in the late 90s and Lil Wayne in the 2000s and has risen in popularity with artists such as Kanye West, Juice WRLD, Lil Durk, The Weeknd, Lil Baby, SoFaygo, Yeat and more.

# Truly, Truly

"Truly, Truly" is a song by American rock band Grant Lee Buffalo. It was released in May 1998 as the lead single from their fourth album, Jubilee. Written by Grant-Lee Phillips and produced by Paul Fox, the single peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

## Composition and recording

According to Grant Lee Buffalo drummer Joey Peters, he and Grant-Lee Phillips began work on "Truly, Truly" in 1996 while touring with The Smashing Pumpkins. As Phillips and Peters began demoing tracks for what would become the Jubilee album, bassist and producer Paul Kimble did not participate because, Peters recalled, "it was kind of obvious he was in a different space, musically and creatively". Kimble left the group the following year.
Phillips explained in a 1998 Musician magazine article that "Truly, Truly" began with a bass part. "And then it was a matter of setting that to a metronome and then filling in the chords around it — finding you could set majors or minors to whatever melody is being played in the bass."
The song's tone changes, Phillips said, have to do with running through different amplifiers, including a Marshall JCM900 and a Vox AC30. Phillips added, "The guitar part was played straight through, but we recorded all the amps on separate tracks, giving us up to four very distinct sounds to manipulate during the mix."

## Release

"Truly, Truly" was sent to modern rock, mainstream rock, and triple-A radio stations in May 1998. The song features on a promotional four-track extended play (EP) titled Yours Truly which Warner Bros. Records sent to commercial and college radio and press. The EP was also packaged with an issue of Alternative Press magazine. A three-track cassette tape featuring "Truly, Truly" was made available during a club tour prior to the album release.

# ILC Dover seamstresses

The ILC Dover seamstresses were a group of women who worked for the International Latex Corporation (now ILC Dover). The seamstresses played a key role in the construction of the space suits for the Apollo program. Employed as skilled garment workers, these women were responsible for sewing along with executing the complex cutting, glueing, molding, and latex processes that went into the construction of the Apollo space suit.
Some of the women had been recruited from the Playtex division of ILC, while other came from nearby clothing and luggage manufacturers. Many had learned the sewing trade from their mothers or in high school home economics classes. However to succeed at ILC, the women had to be willing to learn new sewing techniques, perform their tasks at a slow pace, work with novel textiles, and perform to exacting standards.
The space suits functioned as individual, personalized space crafts designed to keep a human alive in the environment of space or the lunar surface. The production line at ILC followed NASA-mandated engineering guidelines that were significantly stricter than typical clothing manufacturing processes. Tolerance for variation in the stitches were less than 1/64 of an inch from the seam.
