# Blues ballad

The term blues ballad is used to refer to a specific form of popular music which fused Anglo-American and Afro-American styles from the late 19th century onward. Early versions combined elements of the European influenced "native American ballad" with the forms of African American music. From the 20th century on it was also used to refer to a slow tempo, often sentimental song in a blues style.

## Structure and variations

The blues ballad often uses the Thirty-two-bar form of verse-verse-bridge-verse, in contrast to the 12-bar or 8-bar blues forms.

### Popular blues ballads

The first blues ballads tended to deal with active protagonists, often anti-heroes, resisting adversity and authority, often in the context of industrialisation. They usually lacked the strong narrative common in European ballads, and emphasised instead individual character. They were often accompanied by banjo and guitar and often followed a standard 12-bar the blues format, with a repeated refrain in the last line of every verse. Blues ballads are usually anonymously authored and were performed by both black and white musicians in the early 20th century. Ballads about anti-heroes include "Wild Bill Jones", "Stagger Lee" and "John Hardy". The most famous blues ballads that deal with heroes in the context of industrialisation include those about John Henry and Casey Jones.

### Blues ballads in other genres

From the late 19th century the term ballad began to be used for sentimental songs with their origins in the early ‘Tin Pan Alley’ music industry. As new genres of music, including the blues, began to emerge in the early 20th century the popularity of the genre faded, but the association with sentimentality meant led to this being used as the term for a slow love song from the 1950s onward.
Today the term is used to describe a song that uses a blues format with a slow tempo, often dealing with themes of love and affection. Examples include songs such as B. B. King's "Blues on the Bayou", Fats Domino's "Every Night About This Time", The blues ballad format is also popular in rock, jazz, and country music, such as Janis Joplin's version of "Cry Baby" and country singer Crystal Gayle's " Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".
# Jessie King (writer)

Jessie King (pen name, Marguerite; 1862 – ?) was a Scottish author of essays and poetry, as well as a journalist. King was widely and popularly known under the pen name of “Marguerite”. She wrote for the Dundee Evening Telegraph on topics of dress, men, women, and manners.

## Early years and education

Jessie Margaret King was born at Bankfoot, in the parish of Auchtergaven, Perthshire, in 1862, and received her education at the village school there. She was delicate as a child, but was very studious, and a great reader. Her father encouraged her in her studies. Every now and then, a box of miscellaneous reading magazines, reviews, and so forth would come on a carrier's cart from Perth, where her uncle, James Sprunt, was editor of the Perthshire Advertiser. At school, she was a good pupil, carrying off many prizes and the girls’ dux medal.
Preparing herself for a career as a teacher, but she had been only just entered at Sharp's Institution, Perth, when her father fell ill, and this altered all the family plans. After a long illness he died.

## Career

After her father's death, King began working in an office in the village. While there, the Free Church “Welfare of Youth of the Church Scheme” came into existence, and in the paper's “Essay Section” she found a place for her budding literary energies. The first year, she was seventh on the list, the next, she was first in the senior section and third in the junior. The following year, she again competed for both essays, and then carried off the first prize in the junior and senior sections. She continued to compete in connection with this “scheme” up to 1885, and gained four first prizes —— a medal accompanying each, including Junior Section first place with medal in July 1882, for her essay on "Elijah". After being two years in the Bankfoot office, King received an appointment in the Dundee Advertiser office, and shortly afterwards, attained a responsible and important position on the staff of the Dundee Evening Telegraph.
It was not until about 1884 that King began to write verse. Her first attempt, a poem entitled, “Cloudland," was printed. For a year or two, she wrote very frequently with most of her poems appearing under various pen-names in the Telegraph and Friend.

## Style

Her style was characterized as exceedingly attractive, terse, clear, and apt, while her original comments and reflections were judiciously and racily intermixed. She had a graphic pen, and possessed the faculty of always being able to seize upon points of interest and importance, and of giving due proportion and symmetry to the various phases of her subject.
Her poetry was highly imaginative, frequently lively, and sparkling and vivid in expression. There was felicity in her choice of subject, and an elevating method of treatment peculiarly her own. Her poems were marked by a high moral tone and deep human feeling, and they evinced power and facility over the difficulties of rhyme and versification.

# The Last Shot You Hear

The Last Shot You Hear is a 1969 British thriller film directed by Gordon Hessler and starring Hugh Marlowe, Zena Walker, Patricia Haines, and William Dysart. The screenplay was by Tim Shields based on William Fairchild's 1959 play The Sound of Murder.
The film marked the end of the association between Robert L. Lippert and 20th Century Fox which produced over 200 films. It was Marlowe's last film appearance.

## Production

Filming started November 1967. Its original working title was The Jolly Girls. The Shaggy Pups wrote the theme song. Lippert announced he had purchased an original story by Hessler, Genoa. However, when Lippert and Fox ended their relationship the film was not made.

## Reception
### Critical

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "In striking contrast to the panache he brought to Scream and Scream Again, Gordon Hessler's direction of this earlier thriller is largely constructed round an endless repetition of prolonged close-ups, which only serve to emphasise the hackneyed theatricality of the characters and situations. The actors, perhaps because of the dialogue they are given, simply cannot stand up to this kind of scrutiny, and the result is something approaching the surreal, as though the whole surface of ie film is about to crumble away before our eyes. An obviously low budget may be partly to blame, 'but it's difficult to see what anyone could have done with the sheer, undiluted banality of the material."

### Box Office

According to Fox records the film required $450,000 in rentals to break even and by 11 December 1970 had made $290,000 so made a loss to the studio.

# SJ G11

The Statens Järnvägar (SJ; Swedish State Railways) Class G11 was a class of two ex-British War Department Austerity 2-8-0 steam locomotives, numbered 1930 and 1931. They were both purchased in 1953 from Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS; Dutch Railways).
SJ purchased these locomotives to evaluate if they could serve as at good replacement for the locomotives they had obtained through the nationalization of the private railways during the 1940s. It was possible to purchase these locomotives as surplus material quite cheaply. The trials were less than satisfactory though, and with the rapid advances in the technology of diesel locomotives, no further purchases of this type of locomotives were made by SJ.

## Overview

The two locomotives were numbered 1930 and 1931. Both had been transferred to Nederlandse Spoorwegen in 1945.
| Numbers | Numbers | Numbers | Builder | Date built | Works No. | Notes |
| SJ | NS | WD | Builder | Date built | Works No. | Notes |
| 1930 | 4383 | 78529 | North British | 1944 | 25428 | |
| 1931 | 4464 | 79257 | Vulcan Foundry | 1945 | 2500 | Preserved |
In Sweden the locomotives were altered. Their chimneys, the originals of which had been replaced with taller chimneys by the Dutch, were cut down. Their cabs were replaced with fully enclosed cabs. Their tenders were cut down from 8-wheel to 6-wheel, and so on.
The locomotives were primarily used in south-west Sweden on the Halmstad-Nässjö line.
Both were withdrawn in the 1960s and placed in the strategic reserve. No. 1931 was bought by a group from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in England and repatriated in 1973. There were negotiations for the Nene Valley Railway to purchase No. 1930, which would have been numbered as No. 90734 had it not been scrapped, but it was inadvertently scrapped, leaving No. 1931 as the only surviving WD Austerity 2-8-0. No. 1931 ran in a slightly modified conditions between 1973 and 1976. Locomotive 1931 finished its overhaul in 2007 which restored it to its original condition as "British Railways No. 90733", numbered 1 higher than the last of the BR ex-WD Austerity 2-8-0s.

# Yadaya

Yadaya (Burmese: ယတြာ, IPA:; from Sanskrit yātra; variously spelt yadayar and yedaya) refers to superstitious magical rituals done to delay, neutralize or prevent misfortune, widely practiced in Myanmar (Burma). These rituals, which originate from Brahmanism, are guided and prescribed by soothsayers and astrologers, who use a combination of mathematical equations and astrology to formulate a "prescription" to avert misfortune. Modern Burmese leaders, including U Nu, Ne Win, Than Shwe, Min Aung Hlaing, and many government policy decisions are widely understood to have been influenced by yadaya rituals. Among Burmese Buddhists, yadaya is often linked to merit-making, as some prescriptive rituals involve seemingly "Buddhist" acts, although they are done to bypass karmic fate, which cannot be altered by ritual in Buddhist doctrine. Yadaya is closely associated to numerology, particularly the number nine, which is widely believed to be an auspicious number. Some scholars contend that yadaya originates to the Pagan period, first practiced by monks of the Ari sect, a form of Buddhism that predates the introduction of Theravada Buddhism in Burma.
One notable form of yadaya is the construction of pagodas, as seen in the construction of 60,000 pagodas by U Nu in 1961. The government's unexplained decision to change the road traffic in 1970 to right-hand traffic (even though the overwhelming majority of Burmese cars are made for left-hand traffic) is one such incident believed to be the result of yadaya, to avert the threat of a political attack from the right and insurgency.
In 2009, the military regime began printing 5000 Myanmar kyat banknotes that feature an image of a white elephant, interpreted as an act of yadaya.
More recently, the unusual clothing choices, namely the wearing of traditional female acheik-patterned longyi (sarongs) by Than Shwe and other military generals at recent public appearances, including Union Day celebrations in February 2011 and at the reception of the Lao Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh in June 2011 have also been attributed to yadaya, as a way to divert power to neutralize Aung San Suu Kyi's power.
