In the Basement of the Ivory Tower: Confessions of an Accidental Academic is a 2011 book by an adjunct professor of English, who writes under the pen name Professor X.  It is based on an Atlantic Monthly article of the same title.  "Professor X teaches at a private college and at a community college in the northeastern United States" and argues that "The idea that a university education is for everyone is a destructive myth."

Reception
The Christian Science Monitor praised Professor X, saying "the man can write", but criticized the book as "padded" from "a powerful essay".  The New York Times praised the book as "a clear-eyed report from what the author calls 'the college of last resort'” but also criticizes its length.  The New Yorker wrote of the author that "he’s smart and he’s generally good company", but criticized his personal details as "too vague to be engaging."  In 2011 the Atlantic posted a follow-up essay from Professor X, in which he responded to feedback on his ideas but not criticism of his book.

The Rain Before It Falls is a lyrical novel written by British author Jonathan Coe. It describes the history of three generations of women directly or indirectly affected by events in post-war London and rural Shropshire. The novel contrasts with Coe's previous works in that it is almost apolitical, examining both the welcome and the undesirable legacies parents leave their children.

The title comes from a tune by jazz composer Michael Gibbs.

Most of the story is told through recordings of an old lady called Rosamond who describes on tape twenty photographs that represent a family's history. The main part of the book consists of descriptions of the various photographs, framed by a background story. While each of these descriptions comprises a chapter there is also a central chapter interrupting this structure which gives a piece of the background story.

The book was first published in 2007 by the Penguin Group.

Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam (died on May 28, 741) was the fourth Mayan king of Dos Pilas. He is also known as the Ruler 3, Master of Sun Jaguar, Scroll-head God K, Spangle-head and Jewelled-head. His title was "He of Five Captives".

He reigned from 727 to 741.

Biography
His parents are not known. He was a successor of the king Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil.

The fact that Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam followed Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil on the throne even though the latter probably had a son, can be explained in this way: the royal prince was too young to assume the rulership on his own, so there was a need for his regent.

One depiction shows us Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam presiding over a ritual featuring a young boy, presumably the prince and his successor Kʼawiil Chan Kʼinich.

Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam is famous for capturing Yichʼaak Bʼalam, king of Seibal.

He erected victory monuments at both Dos Pilas and Aguateca.

He died on May 28, 741.

Marriage
Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam married GI-Kʼawiil, Lady of Cancuén. It seems that they had no children.

North Shields is a town on the east coast of Eyre Peninsula, overlooking Boston Bay in Spencer Gulf in South Australia. In 2011 it had a population of 503. It is  north of Port Lincoln.

The Lincoln Highway runs north-south through the town. Port Lincoln Airport is located at North Shields, close to its boundary with Point Boston. A postal receiving office at North Shields opened on 13 August 1908. It was upgraded to a post office in April 1910, but from 2 April 1993 has existed as a Community Postal Agent operating out of the Port Lincoln Caravan Park on Lincoln Highway. North Shields formerly had a primary school; however, this closed, and the Port Lincoln Lions Club Hostel was built on the old school site in 1973.

There was a Lutheran Aboriginal mission at North Shields from 1849 to 1853. It was associated with Reverend Clamor Wilhelm Schuermann, who had previously published a dictionary of the local Parnkalla language in 1844. Schuermann moved to the Western District of Victoria in 1853, and the mission was closed and its residents sent to the Anglican mission at Poonindie. The surviving remnants of the mission are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register as C. W. Schuermann's Mission Site.

The Convent () is a 1995 film by Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira, starring Catherine Deneuve and John Malkovich and is inspired by an original idea by Agustina Bessa-Luís in her novel As terras do risco. It was entered into the main competition of the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot
The film opens when a Paris-based American professor Michael Padovic and his elegant French wife Hélène arrive at an ancient Portuguese convent in Arrábida where he believes the documents needed to prove his theory might be in its archives: Shakespeare was born in Spain named Jacques Perez, and was Jewish. 

The couple is greeted by an enigmatic stranger who refers to himself as Baltar; he is the guardian of the monastery. Baltar introduced them to Berta, the housekeeper and his assistant Baltazar. For his research work, Padovic spends most of his days in the library with the beautiful librarian Piedade, while Hélène is accompanied by Baltar who eventually professes his love towards the elegant lady. 

As the tension increases to its dramatic climax, the film ends with an epilogue in the form of on-screen text from a fisherman's report. Baltar and Piedade went missing after a forest fire; Michael and Hélène "left immediately" and are leading a normal life in Paris; Michael abandoned his research on Jacques Perez and is studying occult sciences instead. It nevertheless warns the audience that the fisherman's report might not be reliable.

Cast
 Catherine Deneuve as Hélène
 John Malkovich as Michael Padovic
 Luís Miguel Cintra as Baltar
 Leonor Silveira as Piedade

 Heloísa Miranda as Berta

Music 
The film centers at the question of Evil vs Good and Devil vs God. Essential to the brooding atmosphere is Oliveira's choice of music by Sofia Gubaidulina (Offertorium, Sieben Worte), and portions of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress” and Toshiro Mayuzumi’s “Prelude, for String Quartet.”

Reception
In Portugal, the film was the most popular Portuguese film in 1995 with admissions of 35,000. It received positive reviews in the U.S. from Los Angeles Times, New York Times and Chicago Reader.

Smith Sound (; ) is an uninhabited Arctic sea passage between Greenland and Canada's northernmost island, Ellesmere Island. It links Baffin Bay with Kane Basin and forms part of the Nares Strait.

On the Greenland side of the sound were the now abandoned settlements of Etah and Annoatok.

History
The first known visit to the area by Europeans was in 1616 when the Discovery, captained by Robert Bylot and piloted by William Baffin, sailed into this region. The sound was originally named Sir Thomas Smith's Bay after the English diplomat Sir Thomas Smythe. By the 1750s it regularly appeared on maps as Sir Thomas Smith's Sound, though no further exploration of the area would be recorded until John Ross' 1818 expedition. By this time it had begun to be known simply as Smith Sound.

In 1852 Edward Augustus Inglefield penetrated a little further than Baffin, establishing a new furthest north in North America.

Irish traditional music sessions are mostly informal gatherings at which people play Irish traditional music. The Irish language word for "session" is seisiún. This article discusses tune-playing, although "session" can also refer to a singing session or a mixed session (tunes and songs).

Barry Foy's Field Guide to the Irish Music Session defines a session as:
...a gathering of Irish traditional musicians for the purpose of celebrating their common interest in the music by playing it together in a relaxed, informal setting, while in the process generally beefing up the mystical cultural mantra that hums along uninterruptedly beneath all manifestations of Irishness worldwide.

Social and cultural aspects

The general session scheme is that someone starts a tune, and those who know it join in.  Good session etiquette requires not playing if one does not know the tune (or at least quietly playing an accompaniment part) and waiting until a tune one knows comes along.  In an "open" session, anyone who is able to play Irish music is welcome.  Most often there are more-or-less recognized session leaders; sometimes there are no leaders.  At times a song will be sung or a slow air played by a single musician between sets.

Locations and times
 
Sessions are usually held in public houses or taverns.  A pub owner might have one or two musicians paid to come regularly in order for the session to have a base. These musicians can perform during any gaps during the day or evening when no other performers are there and wish to play. Sunday afternoons and weekday nights (especially Tuesday and Wednesday) are common times for sessions to be scheduled, on the theory that these are the least likely times for dances and concerts to be held, and therefore the times that professional musicians will be most able to show up.

Sessions can be held in homes or at various public places in addition to pubs; often at a festival sessions will be got together in the beer tent or in the vendor's booth of a music-loving craftsperson or dealer.  When a particularly large musical event "takes over" an entire village, spontaneous sessions may erupt on the street corners. Sessions may also take place occasionally at wakes. House sessions are not as common now as they were in the past.  In her book Peig, Peig Sayers notes that when she was young they often attended sessions at people's houses, in a practice called 'bothántiocht'.
