# Conquest of the Useless

Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo (German: Die Eroberung des Nutzlosen) is a 2004 book by the German filmmaker Werner Herzog. It is Herzog's diaries from the troubled, three years long production of the 1982 film Fitzcarraldo.
Kirkus Reviews called the book a "valuable historical record and a strangely stylish, hypnotic literary work". Jonathan Levi of the Los Angeles Times wrote that it reveals Herzog "to be witty, compassionate, microscopically observant and -- your call -- either maniacally determined or admirably persevering".
The book was the basis for the composition Sweat of the Sun by David Fennessy. It premiered at the Munich Biennale in 2016 and was performed at the Theater Osnabrück in 2017. Presented as a work of music theatre, the 65 minutes long performance had solo singers dressed up as Herzog and Klaus Kinski, although it featured no opera plot. Der Opernfreund [de] treated it as a concert piece and wrote it was reminiscent of works by Bernd Alois Zimmermann.

# Charles Rouse-Boughton

Sir Charles William Rouse Boughton (December 1747 – 26 February 1821) was an administrator in India with the East India Company and subsequently a member of the British House of Commons representing first Evesham and then Bramber.

## Biography
### Early life

Charles was the second son of Shuckburgh Boughton of Poston Court Hereford and Mary Greville (20 December 1713 – 1 March 1786), daughter of Hon. Algernon Greville, and Hon. Mary Somerset, daughter of Lord Arthur Somerset (1671–1743), son of Henry Somerset, 1st Duke of Beaufort. He went to India as a writer in 1765 and held several judicial and administrative offices in the service of the East India Company. He was at various times a Persian interpreter and senior merchant and judge. During his time in India, he inherited an estate at Rouse Lench, Worcestershire by the will of Thomas Phillips Rouse.
He left the East India Company and after returning to England in 1778, stood for Parliament at Evesham in 1780, where he was elected as one of the members after a hard-fought battle. His main interest in politics was India, and the speeches which he made between 1780 and 1790 all dealt with Indian affairs. In 1784 he was appointed Secretary to the Board of Control for India and held the post until 1791. He opposed the impeachment of Warren Hastings.

### Later life

Charles did not contest the 1790 election and left Parliament. He assumed the name of Rouse by Royal Licence in 1791 and was created 1st Baronet Boughton Rouse. In 1794 he inherited the title 9th Baronet of Langford and changed his surname to Rouse Boughton.
At the general election in 1796 he was returned unopposed at Bramber, a notorious Rotten borough, where an agreement had operated since 1774, by which the two owners of the `miserable thatched cottages' who had the right to vote at Bramber returned a member each. In the new Parliament, he spoke several times on Indian affairs. He vacated his seat in 1800 when he was appointed an Audit Commissioner, a post he held until his death in 1821.

## Family

He married Catherine Pearce, the daughter of William Pearce and his wife Catherine Comyn, in 1781. Catherine was the heiress of the Downton estates near Ludlow, including Downton Hall. This was fortunate for Charles since his brother Edward had bequeathed the Boughton estates to Elisabeth Davis, his natural daughter by a serving maid, who later married baronet George Braithwaite. Catherine enhanced the estate at Downton, planting High Grove, or Catherine's Grove, and her portrait was painted by Romney in 1785. Charles was interested in agriculture and was renowned for his remarkable pig. In London, he lived at Corney House Chiswick.
Charles' son William inherited the baronetcy and his daughter Louise (1785 – 9 July 1860) married firstly St Andrew St John, 14th Baron St John of Bletso and secondly Sir John Vaughan.
In the programme Who Do You Think You Are? (transmitted on BBC2 on 23 August 2010), comedian Alexander Armstrong discovered that his mother is a descendant through Louise's first marriage to Baron St John.

## Background and promotion

In an interview with Eddie Francis of Apple Music 1 before she announced the album, Leray spoke about her intention with it:
   I feel like a lot of the headlines kind of overshadow my true talent and what God really brought me here to do. So I just can't wait because this album's going to show that. … And also the second album's going to make people go back to Trendsetter and make them actually appreciate it for the music instead of the bullshit and the negative headlines and Coi Leray always being the topic. This album is all about me.
Leray announced the title of the album and revealed its cover art on May 19, 2023. She revealed the tracklist three days later.

## Singles

The lead single of the album, "Players", was released on November 30, 2022. The second and third singles, "Bops" and "My Body", were released on April 27 and 28, 2023, respectively. The fourth single, "Run It Up", was released on June 16, 2023. And the fifth and final single, "Make My Day" with David Guetta, was released on the same day as the album release.

## Critical reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| Pitchfork | 4.5/10 |
Coi was met with lukewarm reviews from music critics. Heven Haile of Pitchfork felt that Coi "might as well be marketed as a covers album. Roughly 75% of the album relies on painfully obvious samples, copied and pasted in with little modification" and Leray "unimaginatively spins songs by men into #girlboss anthems". Haile also felt wrote that when Leray is "not deploying samples of popular songs, she's hopping on the wave of today's popular sounds" and concluded that "the only idea she brings to Coi" is introducing "the younger generation" to artists she samples.
# James Ryder Randall

James Ryder Randall (January 1, 1839 – January 15, 1908) was an American journalist and poet. He is best remembered as the author of "Maryland, My Maryland".

## Biography

Randall was born on January 1, 1839, in Baltimore, Maryland. He was named after Father James A. Ryder S.J., the 20th President of Georgetown University.
He is most remembered for writing the poem "Maryland, My Maryland," which is also the reason for his being called the "Poet Laureate of the Lost Cause". It became a war hymn of the Confederacy after the poem's words were set to the tune "Lauriger Horatius" (the tune of O Tannenbaum) during the Civil War by Jennie Cary, a member of a prominent Maryland and Virginia family. It later became the state song of Maryland.
Randall wrote the poem after learning that his friend Francis X. Ward, of Randallstown, Maryland, was killed by the 6th Massachusetts Militia in the Baltimore Riot of April 19, 1861. The work was first published a week later on April 26, in the New Orleans newspaper The Sunday Delta.
After abandoning his studies at Georgetown University, he traveled to South America and the West Indies. Upon his return to the United States he taught English literature at Poydras College in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. It was during this time that he penned "Maryland, My Maryland". Tuberculosis prevented him from enlisting in the Confederate Army. However, he was able to serve with the Confederate States Navy in Wilmington, North Carolina. Though a Marylander by birth, he wrote the poem "Maryland, My Maryland" while living in Augusta, Georgia. He considered himself a Georgian by adoption. After the Civil War, Randall became a newspaper editor and a correspondent in Washington, D.C., for The Augusta Chronicle. He continued to write poems, although none achieved the popularity of "Maryland, My Maryland". His later poems were deeply religious in nature.
He died on January 15, 1908, in Augusta, Georgia, and is buried there in Magnolia Cemetery. Augusta honors him on the Monument to Poets of Georgia along with Fr. Abram Ryan, Sydney Lanier, and Paul Hamilton Hayne, all of whom saw Confederate service. The Randall Memorial Committee of Chapter "A" United Daughters of the Confederacy Augusta, Georgia, dedicated a statue to him there in 1936. James Ryder Randall Elementary School in Clinton, Maryland, bears his name. Edward Bailey Eaton referred to him as "Poet of the Confederacy".

# Hillside Village

Hillside Village (formerly Uptown Village at Cedar Hill) is a 615,000-square-foot (57,100 m$^2$) open-air regional shopping mall in Cedar Hill, Texas, a suburb of Dallas in the United States. It is located at FM 1382 and U.S. Highway 67 adjacent to Uptown Boulevard and Pleasant Run Road.

## History

The MGHerring Group broke ground on the project in June 2006 and it opened on March 12, 2008. Uptown Village at Cedar Hill was the first mall to open in the suburban region of Dallas County known as the Best Southwest, which includes the cities of Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster. Prior to its opening, there was only one mall in southern Dallas County – Southwest Center Mall (formerly Red Bird Mall) in the Red Bird neighborhood of Dallas.
Fort Worth-based Trademark Property Company acquired the development in July 2014. Five months later, the company and its joint venture partner secured $38.3 million in refinancing to update the center. The upgrades included improved connectivity for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, new signage, enhanced landscaping, and the redevelopment of public spaces.
As part of the new management's rebranding process, Uptown Village was renamed Hillside Village in the spring of 2015. The new name and corresponding new brand were selected to reflect the garden-like look and feel planned in the multimillion-dollar property renovation as well as paying homage to the community in which it lies.

# Khorasani Arabs

Khorasani Arabs are Iranian Arabs who are descended from the Arabs who immigrated to the Khorasan area of Iran during the Abbasid Caliphate (750−1258). Unlike the Arabs of Iran's Khuzestan Province in the southwestern part of the country, who are direct descendants of the ancient population of the area, the Khorasani Arabs are descended from actual Arab migrants. According to a 2013 article in peer-reviewed journal Iran and the Caucasus, the Khorasani Arabs, numbering c. 50,000, are "already almost totally Persianised".
Most Khorasani Arabs belong to the tribes of Shaybani, Zangooyi, Mishmast, Khozaima, and Azdi. Khorasan Arabs are Persian speakers, and only a few speak Khorasani Arabic as their native language. The cities of Birjand, Mashhad, and Nishapur are home to large groups of Khorasani Arabs.
According to Ibn Al-Athir, the Abbasids settled about 50,000 Arab families in Iranian Khorasan, modern day Northern Afghanistan and southern Turkmenistan, but the number is definitely exaggerated.
