Ralph Parfect of NME praised the song "Where Was Heaven" and considered Joe Mafia's rhymes to be "fluent" and "dizzying". AllMusic's Keith Farley commented on the album's production and considered it "far from the worst Wu-Tang cash in". Jonathan Bonanno of The Source praised the group's "emotional lyrics" that "paint vivid cinematic pictures of street tales, gun battles and flashbacks to the yayo-slanging dreams", but thought they get repetitive as the group lacked experience. He highlighted the production, which he called "prodigious", for its "harmonious guitar riffs and eerie, piano-accompanied bass lines".

# Ida-Simon

Ida–Simon are a Swedish/Finnish conceptual artist and art director-duo consisting of Ida Jonsson and Simon Saarinen.

## Work

Both Jonsson and Saarinen have been professionally active in design and digital marketing since 2013.
In 2019, the duo created “Permanent art”, the first series of artworks embedded on a blockchain. The project gained international publicity due to the fact that anything stored on a blockchain is immutable and permanent. The duo described the project as “internet graffiti that is impossible to remove.”
Later the same year Jonsson and Saarinen created “The Bum”, a web page where visitors can explore the real size of Kim Kardashian’s behind. In February 2020 the duo used the data they had gathered while creating the web page to make a silicon wearable of the bum. The wearable was presented during New York Fashion Week. While some media outlets criticized the piece for appropriating Kim Kardashian, the artists defended it by stating that it's a comment on the "hyperbolic social-media landscape, where everyone’s fighting to stand out".
# Ecton railway station

Ecton railway station was a station on the Leek and Manifold Light Railway. It served the hamlet of Ecton and village of Warslow in Staffordshire, England. It opened to the public on 29 June 1904 and was in operation for almost thirty years prior to its closure on 12 March 1934. Ecton Creamery opened in 1920 and the line was used for transporting Stilton cheese. An Ordnance Survey map published in 1922 shows a branch line running to the cheese factory. Milk was transported by road from 1932, leading to a decline in revenue for the railway. In 1937, owner London, Midland & Scottish Railway gifted the track bed to Staffordshire County Council for a public right of way, pioneering such transfers in Britain. Today, the site is part of the Manifold Way that runs between Hulme End and Waterhouses.

# Manuel António Vassalo e Silva

Manuel António Vassalo e Silva (8 November 1899 – 11 August 1985) was an officer of the Portuguese Army and an overseas administrator. He was the 128th and the last Governor-General of Portuguese India.

## Background

He was the only son of Manuel Caetano da Silva (1870–1926) and his wife Maria da Encarnação Vassalo (1869–1922), and was the brother of the feminist author and anti-government campaigner Maria Lamas. He was married, with two daughters, Joana and Aurora.

## Governor-General of Portuguese India

In 1958, he was nominated to replace Paulo Bénard Guedes as the 128th Governor-General of the Portuguese State of India. At the same time, he was also appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Portuguese Armed Forces in India.
When the Republic of India sought to annex the territories of Goa, Daman (from which had been previously separated in 1954 and annexed by India in 1961 the enclave of Dadra and Nagar Haveli) and Diu from Portuguese control in December 1961, Manuel Vassalo e Silva, recognizing the futility of facing a superior enemy, disobeyed direct orders from the President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) of Portugal and Dictator-for-life, António de Oliveira Salazar to fight to the death and surrendered the following day to the 48th Indian Infantry Brigade under Brig. Gurbux Singh, following several losses and the destruction of the sloop NRP Afonso de Albuquerque. After that he fell into disgrace at the eyes of Salazar, who never accepted the fait accompli of the annexation.
Vassalo e Silva was greeted with a hostile reception when he returned to Portugal. He was subsequently court martialed for failing to follow orders, expelled from the military and was sent into exile. His rank and freedom were restored only in 1974, after the fall of the dictatorial regime, and he was given back his military status. He was later able to conduct a state visit to Goa, where he was given a warm reception.
Recently the Goan-Portuguese politician Narana Coissoró said that Salazar sent him a cyanide capsule for use in case of defeat.

# Manjolai labourers massacre

Manjolai labourers massacre or Thamirabarani massacre of 23 July 1999 was the death of 17 Dalit labourers, including two women and a two-year-old child, when they got into the river to escape Tamil Nadu Police lathi-charge. Public were going in procession to Tirunelveli Collectorate to submit a memorandum demanding wage settlement for the tea plantation workers of Manjolai estate. An altercation between the police and the marchers resulted in a lathi charge by police. When the marchers ran helter-skelter, many fell into the river and died.Human Rights Watch condemned the brutal police attack and killing of Dalit tea plantation workers.

## Background

On 23 July 1999, a large number of labourers from Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Tea estates of Manjolai congregated in Tirunelveli and marched towards the Collectorate demanding the release of a number of estate workers, who were arrested earlier for staging protest demanding better wages. The workers were being paid ₹70 per Day then and they were demanding the pay to be increased to ₹100. The workers were also demanding maternity leave, periodical breaks for women during the eight-hour-long duty. They were also opposing the decision of the estate owners to force workers to stay in sheds with poor facilities and deny right to rear cattle or even raise Gardens. A large contingent of stone throwing and lathi-wielding police brutally assaulted the protesters forcing them to run towards the river. As police continued to chase them to the river, many got into the river and drowned. Justice Mohan Commission that probed into the incident submitted that 11 of the 17 died due to drowning, while rest died due to injuries. Even now, much of their demands have not been met, but the estate workers have since been kept satisfied with a pay of ₹138 per Day.

# Blacktail Deer Creek

Blacktail Deer Creek is a tributary of the Beaverhead River, approximately 38 miles (61 km) long, in southwest Montana, United States.
It rises in the Beaverhead National Forest in the Snowcrest Range in southern Beaverhead County. It flows northwest, joining the Beaverhead River near Dillon, Montana.
The creek contains rainbow, brook and brown trout as well as mountain whitefish, longnose sucker, longnose dace and mottled sculpin. On August 7–8, 1863, a group of 28 prospectors embarked from the mouth of Blacktail Deer Creek to prospect for gold in the upper Snake River in Idaho Territory.

Blacktail Deer Creek has also been known as: Dry Blacktail Creek.
# Alabama (Julia Tutwiler song)

"Alabama" is the regional anthem of the U.S. state of Alabama; it was adopted as the official state song in 1931.

## History

"Alabama" was written as a poem by Julia Tutwiler, a distinguished educator and humanitarian. It was first sung to an Austrian air, but in 1931, the music written by Edna Gockel Gussen, an organist, and choirmaster from Birmingham, Alabama, was adopted by the State Federation of Music Clubs and through their efforts, House Joint Resolution 74 was adopted March 9, 1931. Act no. 126, adopted the music and words as the state song of Alabama. The bill was introduced by the Hon. Tyler Goodwyn, Montgomery, and was signed into law by Governor B. M. Miller.
The inspiration for writing the poem Alabama came to Julia Tutwiler after she returned to her native state from Germany, where she had been studying new educational methods for girls and women. She recalled that in Germany patriotism was inspired by spirited songs. She thought that it would be helpful toward restoring the spirits of her own people to give them a new patriotic song, inspiring her to write "Alabama."

## Lyrics

    Alabama, Alabama, We will aye be true to thee,
    From thy Southern shores where groweth,
    By the sea thine orange tree.
    To thy Northern vale where floweth,
    Deep and blue the Tennessee,
    Alabama, Alabama, We will aye be true to thee!
    Broad thy stream whose name thou bearest;
    Grand thy Bigbee rolls along;
    Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa
    Bold thy Warrior, dark and strong,
    Goodlier than the land that Moses
    Climbed lone Nebo's Mount to see,
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
    From thy prairies, broad and fertile,
    Where thy snow-white cotton shines.
    To the hills where coal and iron,
    Hide in thy exhaustless mines,
    Strong-armed miners -sturdy farmers;
    Loyal hearts what'er we be,
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
    From thy quarries where the marble
    White as that of Paros gleams
    Waiting till thy sculptor's chisel,
    Wake to life thy poet's dreams;
    Fear not only wealth of nature,
    Wealth of mind hast thou no fee,
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
    Where the perfumed south-wind whispers,
    Thy magnolia groves among,
    Softer than a mother's kisses,
    Sweeter than a mother's song,
    Where the golden jasmine trailing,
    Woos the treasure-laden bee,
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
    Brave and pure thy men and women,
    Better this than corn and wine
    Make us worthy, God in Heaven
    Of this goodly land of Thine.
    Hearts as open as thy doorways.
    Liberal hands and spirits free.
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
    Little, little can I give thee,
    Alabama, mother mine.
    But that little - hand, brain, spirit.
    All I have and am are thine.
    Take, O take, the gift and giver.
    Take and serve thyself with me.
    Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
