title: William H. Day

text:
William Howard Day (October 16, 1825December 3, 1900) was a black abolitionist, editor, educator and minister. After his father died when he was four, Day went to live with J. P. Williston and his wife who ensured that he received a good education and learned the printer's trade. He received his bachelor's and master's degree from Oberlin College. He was a printer and newspaper editor. He fought for civil rights of African Americans a number of ways, as a journalist, teacher, and leader of the Freedmen's Bureau. He was an orator, making a speech to 10,000 newly emancipated people on what biographer Todd Mealy called the first march on Washington.

Early life
Day was born free on October 16, 1825, in New York City to Eliza and John Day. Eliza was an abolitionist and a founding member of the first African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in New York City. John, who was a sail maker and a veteran of the War of 1812, died when William was four years old. Eliza was left to raise four children.

Day began attending school when he was four years of age. In 1834, the young Day joined Henry Highland Garnet and David Ruggles to form the all-male Garrison Literary and Benevolent Association, named for William Lloyd Garrison, an abolitionist. Soon after, riots broke out in New York City against abolitionists, which required the Days barricaded to themselves in their residence.

White abolitionists John Payson Williston and his wife of Northampton, Massachusetts, became Day's guardians in 1838. Williston had seen Day speak at a publicly staged examination in New York City and had been impressed by him. With Eliza's permission, the Willistons ensured that Day received a liberal education. He also learned printing skills from Mr. Williston, an ink manufacturer. The Willistons helped people fleeing enslavement by employing them or helping them travel along the Underground Railroad.

Education
Beginning 1843, Day attended Oberlin College and he graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree. He put himself through college by working as a compositor and a printer. He graduated in 1847, the only black graduate in a class of 50 students. Being an African-American man with advanced degrees created a challenge for Day to find ways to be successful in 19th-century America. The Livingstone College led by Rev. Joseph C. Price awarded Day an honorary D.D. at its commencement in May 1887.

Career

Publisher, printer, and editor
His first job was as a compositor and printer. After he graduated from Oberlin, he was made shop foreman, overseeing the work of white men.

Day was editor of one of the first weekly African-American newspapers, The Aliened American.  Published in Cleveland, Ohio, Day used the newspaper to support the abolitionist cause, as in this excerpt from April 9, 1853: "We speak for Humanity. If Humanity be a unit, wherever it is cloven down, wherever rights common to human beings are infringed, there we do sympathize." In Cleveland, he also was compositor to the Cleveland True Democrat published by Thomas Brown and edited by John C. Vaughen, for a year when he was promoted to mailing clerk and local editor. In 1866, he was appointed editor of the secular department of Zion's Standard and Weekly Review, a New York City Paper owned by the AME Zion church edited by Singleton T. Jones. In 1870, he became editor of Our National Progress.

Educator
While in Cleveland, he also taught school, teaching many subjects including Latin, Greek, mathematics, rhetoric, logic, music and vocal music, short-hand, and writing. In 1857, he went to Canada to recover from an illness and continued teaching fugitive slaves there. In 1867, he moved to Baltimore at the invitation of Edgar M. Gregory where he became inspector-general for schools there, a charge of 140 schools, 150 teachers and 7,000 students.

Civil rights and supporting organizations
He dedicated his life to the rights of Blacks in the United States. In 1848 he was in Cleveland where he became the secretary of the National Negro Convention.

In 1858, Day was elected president of the National Board of Commissioners of the Colored People by the Black citizens of Canada and the United States. Day was also active in the cause of the civil rights of the northern black minority. In 1858, he and his wife Lucy challenged racial segregation in public transportation in Michigan. In the 1858 case Day v. Owen, the Republican-dominated Michigan Supreme Court ruled against him and upheld segregation. The same year, he was a member of the Chatham Vigilance Committee that sought to prevent former slaves from being returned to the United States and brought back into slavery, such as the case of Sylvanus Demarest.

In 1859 he visited England, Ireland, and Scotland with William King to raise money for a church and school house at Elgia in Buxton, Ontario. He met Martin Delany and Professor Campbell of the Institute for Colored Youth in London, and together the group founded the African Aid Society. He remained in Great Britain during the American Civil War (1861–1865). Back in the United States he attached himself to the Freedmen's Bureau.

After working in Baltimore as inspector-general of the schools, Day moved to Wilmington, Delaware, in 1869 to register African-American voters, a hazardous assignment given the tensions of the time period.

Orator
On July 4, 1865, Day spoke before a crowd of 10,000 men and women who had been emancipated. They gathered on the White House's back lawn, where they heard him say: "We meet to celebrate new hopes, new prospects, new joys and in view of the nation." Day's biographer Todd Mealy likens the momentous speech to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech of 1963, which was the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. He also considers the gathering of people to hear Day to be the first civil rights march on Washington.

Later career
In 1872, he returned north and became clerk in the corporation department of the auditor-general of Pennsylvania. In 1875, he succeeded James A. Jones as Secretary of the General Conference of the AME Zion church, and he was re-elected in 1876. In 1878 he was elected to the school board of directors at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, serving for three years and holding the position of secretary to the committee on teachers. He was reelected in 1881 and did not stand for a third reelection in 1884. In 1887 he stood again and was again elected to the board.

Personal life
On November 25, 1852, Day married Lucy Stanton, an 1846 graduate of Oberlin College. In 1858 their only child was born, Florence Day. In 1858, Day abandoned his wife and child. Day and Lucy Stanton were legally divorced in 1872.  In 1873, Day married Georgia F. Bell.

Day died in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on December 3, 1900, at the age of 75.  His resting place is Lincoln Cemetery in Harrisburg.

Legacy
 The William Howard Day Cemetery was established in Steelton in the 1900s as a burial place for all people, including people of color who were denied burial at the nearby Baldwin Cemetery. It remains a popular burial site for local African-American families.
 The William Howard Day School in the City of Harrisburg was named for him.
 The William Howard Day homes, a public-housing community located at Reilly Road and Herr Street in Harrisburg.

title: Meyer Weisgal

text:
Meyer Wolf Weisgal (מאיר וולף וייסגאל / וייסגל; November 10, 1894 – September 29, 1977) was an American journalist, publisher, playwright, fundraiser, and Zionist activist who served as the President of the Weizmann Institute of Science and as the founding President of Beit Hatfutsot (the Jewish Diaspora Museum).

Biography

Meyer Wolf Weisgal was born in Kikół, Congress Poland, in the Pale of Settlement. He emigrated to New York City, US in 1905 with his parents at age 11, where he finished high school at Morris High School in the Bronx and studied journalism at Columbia University. He married Shirley (née Hirshfeld) in 1923.

Meyer and Shirley Weisgal lived on the grounds of the Weizmann Institute and are buried there, near the Chaim Weizmann House.

Literary and journalism career
In 1926, he published the first English translation of the works of Chaim Nachman Bialik. In 1932, he saw stage success with the play "The romance of a people", and he continued to produce stage plays from then on. He conceived the opera-oratorio The Eternal Road to alert the then-ignorant public to Hitler's persecution of the Jews in 1937 Germany. Weisgal enlisted the help of director Max Reinhardt, who approached Kurt Weill to write the music, and Austrian novelist and playwright Franz Werfel to write the libretto for The Eternal Road (originally in German: ), translated into English by Ludwig Lewisohn.

Together with Louis Lipsky he edited the journal The Maccabean-magazine, later The New Palestine (magazine), which contributed its important part for the success of Chaim Weizmann's Zionist policy after the Balfour Declaration. And he, "as editor, conceived and published two notable supplements, which remain as permanent reference works today: In 1925 a supplement on the Hebrew University, then in establishment; in 1929 a supplement on Theodor Herzl, founder of the modern Zionism". (Biographical notes from the Weizmann Institute, p. 3), See also the series about him on Brouillon, part 4:

Zionist activism
From 1921 until 1930, he was the first head of the Zionist Organization of America. Through the World Zionist Organization he came in close contact with its chair Chaim Weizmann and acted as his personal representative since 1940. In 1944, he started an initiative for expanding the Daniel Sieff Research Institute (led by Weizmann) into what would become a leading multidisciplinary research university: this opened its doors on November 2, 1949, as the Weizmann Institute of Science. He served as its Chairman of the Executive Council 1949–1966 and as its President 1966–1969. Subsequently, he served as the founding President of the Diaspora Museum in Tel-Aviv.

title: Cuphead

text:
Cuphead is a video game developed and published by Studio MDHR. The game follows Cuphead, a small, anthropomorphic cup who, in a deal with the Devil after losing a game at the Devil's casino, is sent on a quest to repossess the souls of runaway debtors as payment for Cuphead's loss. In the game, up to two players control Cuphead and/or his brother Mugman to fight through several levels and boss fights; the game does not have a rigid narrative structure. As the game progresses, the protagonist acquires more power and abilities, eventually threatening the Devil himself. Players, however, can only equip a limited number of these abilities at a given time.

The game's creators, brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, took inspiration from the rubber hose style of the golden age of American animation and the surrealist qualities of works of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Fleischer Studios, Warner Bros. Cartoons, MGM Cartoon Studio and Walter Lantz Productions. Reminiscent of the 1930s aesthetics and Jazz Age, the game is noted for its animation and soundtrack: all in-game assets used hand-drawn animation with deliberate human imperfections, and the soundtrack was written for and recorded with a full jazz ensemble.

Cuphead was announced in 2013, had a preview at E3 2014, and was released in 2017 as a timed-exclusive for Microsoft's Windows and Xbox One, with ports to other systems subsequently added. The game was a commercial success, selling two million copies within two weeks of release and six million in two years. Cuphead received widespread critical acclaim, with praises for its art style, gameplay, soundtrack, and difficulty; the latter was singled out for scrutiny, with multiple outlets naming Cuphead one of the hardest video games ever created. The game won several awards, including three Game Awards, three D.I.C.E. Awards, and a British Academy Games Award. A DLC expansion, entitled Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, was released on June 30, 2022. A Netflix animated series based on the game, The Cuphead Show!, premiered in February 2022.

Gameplay

Cupheads gameplay is centered on continual boss fights, interspersed with run-and-gun levels. Each is housed in one of four worlds, with the final fight against the Devil. Each boss fight includes a simple, regular, and expert difficulty mode (with the exception of the final two bosses, which lack a simple mode). Defeating a boss on regular mode is required to progress through the game and unlocks expert mode for that particular level. Most boss battles take place on land, although some involve player characters piloting aeroplanes and play like a side-scrolling shoot 'em up. The game includes role-playing elements and a branching level sequence. Player characters have infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. Equippable weapons and special abilities, referred to as Charms, can be purchased from Porkrind's Emporium, an in-game shop, using coins found in levels and the overworld. Player characters can use a slapping parry attack on objects marked in pink to various effects, the most important of them being a super meter charge that enables more powerful attacks. The super meter is represented by a row of five playing cards, and can also be charged through attacking or Charm effects. An enhanced attack can be executed at the cost of one card, with its particular form determined by the currently equipped weapon. The most powerful strikes, or Super Arts, require the Super Meter to be fully charged and will completely drain it upon use. Three Super Arts are available, one in each of the first three worlds; to earn each one, the player must enter a mausoleum and parry a horde of ghosts to stop them from reaching an urn at the center of the screen.
After completing a level, the players are ranked with a grade based on performance, determined by the time taken to complete the level, hit points left post-battle, number of parried attacks, and the number of times part of the super meter was used, in addition to the level difficulty. The levels are accessible through a top-down perspective overworld with its own secret areas. The game has a two-player local cooperative mode, in which either player character can return to the game after being killed if the one parries the other's soul before it rises off the screen. Cuphead's brother, Mugman, acts as an alternative skin and potential co-op partner within the game. The DLC expansion, Delicious Last Course, adds a new area with its own campaign, including new bosses, weapons, and Charms; a third playable character is also added, Ms. Chalice, who replaces either Cuphead or Mugman when equipped with the Astral Cookie Charm. Ms. Chalice has her own unique set of moves, including a double jump, an invincible roll maneuver, and a parry dash.

Plot

Don't Deal With the Devil
On Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, are two fun-loving children who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. Despite Elder Kettle's warnings, the brothers wander off to the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil appears and makes a deal, offering to give them all the money in the casino if they win the next roll and threatening to take their souls if they lose. Cuphead accepts the offer but loses by rolling snake eyes. As he and Mugman beg for mercy, the Devil offers them another deal: if the brothers can collect the "soul contracts" from his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, the Devil might spare the two. Cuphead and Mugman return to Elder Kettle, who gives them a magic potion that allows them to fire blasts of energy from their fingers, but also warns them that the debtors may not turn in their soul contracts willingly.

The brothers travel around the neighboring Inkwell Isles, fighting the debtors in order to obtain their contracts. As they enter the second Isle, Elder Kettle notices that the duo are getting stronger from their battles and urges them to "do the right thing" when they meet the Devil. After Cuphead and Mugman enter the third Isle, King Dice reports the brothers' progress to the Devil and tells him that he is suspicious of their intentions, to which the Devil replies that there is nothing to worry about; if the brothers were to try anything, he would be waiting for them.

The brothers eventually collect all of the soul contracts and return to the Devil's Casino. King Dice stops them, saying that their success has caused him to lose a bet, and sets up an extended casino-styled battle in an attempt to get revenge. After defeating King Dice, the brothers confront the Devil, who tries to tempt them by inviting them to join his team if they give him the soul contracts. If the player chooses to turn them over, Cuphead and Mugman are brainwashed into becoming the Devil's demonic lackeys, and the game ends. If they refuse, the Devil becomes furious at the brothers for not upholding their end of the bargain and attacks them. Cuphead and Mugman defeat the Devil, forcing him to surrender, burn the contracts, and return home. Learning that they have nothing to fear from the Devil anymore, the former debtors honor the brothers for their heroic actions.

The Delicious Last Course
After freeing a soul known as the Legendary Chalice from one of the main game's mausoleums, Cuphead and Mugman receive a summons from her to visit a distant fourth Inkwell Isle. Once they arrive, Chalice demonstrates an "Astral Cookie" which allows her to trade places with the brother who eats it, turning him into a spirit and temporarily bringing her back to life as Ms. Chalice. The cookie's inventor, Chef Saltbaker, unveils his recipe for a special dessert known as the Wondertart, which has the power to give Chalice her own permanent body. Saltbaker notes that several antagonistic inhabitants of the Island hold its required ingredients, and the brothers set out to collect them with Chalice's help.

Once the cups return to the bakery with the ingredients, they find Saltbaker in his cellar. He reveals that the Wondertart requires a living soul baked into it to work and that he intends to use the Wondertart for himself and conquer the astral plane. To this end, he has captured the soul of one protagonist (who may be any character not in play upon reaching the bakery) and decides to dispatch the other two to continue his scheme. Once Saltbaker is defeated, his bakery is destroyed, leaving no way to finish the Wondertart. Unwilling to let anyone else give up their soul for her benefit, Chalice decides to remain a spirit until she can find a way to return to life without sacrificing anyone while offering to continue helping Cuphead and Mugman when needed via the Astral Cookie.

In the epilogue, Saltbaker is arrested for his crimes and sentenced to community service by assisting the Island's inhabitants with their various problems. Saltbaker soon realizes the error of his ways and, after serving his sentence, rebuilds his bakery and prepares pastries for everyone on the Isle (including Cuphead, Mugman, and Chalice), much to their delight.

Development

Cuphead is the first game by Studio MDHR, a Canadian indie game development studio founded by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer. The game was written by Evan Skolnick; additional animation work was contributed by Jake Clark, with programming led by Tony Coculuzzi. Its development began in 2010 using the Microsoft XNA and later they switched to Unity game engine in 2014, and it was developed from the brothers' homes in Oakville, Ontario and Regina, Saskatchewan, respectively. It was inspired by cartoons from the early days of golden age of American animation such as Disney and Fleischer Studios, along with cartoonists Ub Iwerks, Grim Natwick, and Willard Bowsky. Chad Moldenhauer called Fleischer Studios "the magnetic north of his art style", and particularly sought to mimic their "subversive and surrealist" elements.

The Moldenhauers watched many early golden-age cartoons in their youth, largely from VHS compilations supplied by their parents. Among other siblings in their Regina, Saskatchewan childhood home, the two shared an interest in video games. They attempted a game in the style of Cuphead in 2000, but lacked the tools to continue. The brothers decided to try again following the success of the indie game Super Meat Boy, which was released in 2010. The character that became Cuphead descended from a 1936 Japanese propaganda animated film featuring a character with a teacup for a head. The Moldenhauers emulated the animation because they found it strange, and "right away it stuck". Before settling on him as the main character, the brothers had created around one hundred fifty different character designs, including a kappa wearing a tophat and characters with a plate or fork for a head.

Their animation techniques are similar to those of these cartoons. Chad Moldenhauer, who had previously worked in graphic design, hand-drew the animations and painted the backgrounds using watercolors, colorizing them in Photoshop. The gameplay's frame rate is 60 frames per second, while the animation runs at 24 per second, which is the standard in American film. Chad Moldenhauer saw the deliberately included human imperfections of their art design as a reaction to the perfectionism of modern pixel art. Jared Moldenhauer worked on other aspects of the game, and they discussed gameplay design together. Their studio hired a Romanian developer, a Brooklyn animator, and an Ontario jazz musician for the project. They sought to use recording processes vintage to that era. The score was composed by Kristofer Maddigan and consists of fifty-one tracks performed by jazz and big band musicians.

The Moldenhauers described Cuphead as having a difficult, "retro game" core for its emphasis on gameplay over plot. Kill Screen described the developers as "obsessed" with run-and-gun fundamentals of "animations and exploits and hitboxes". They made multiple revisions to many gameplay elements, including how gameplay actions feel at the edges of platforms and how long players are disabled after receiving damage. They planned multiple difficulty levels and chose to abandon a typical damsel in distress plot for one where Cuphead perpetually creates trouble for himself. The developers planned to surpass the Guinness World Record for number of boss battles in a run-and-gun game by having more than 30, compared to the record's 25 in Alien Soldier. The game's implementation and visual design, combined with the limited number of staff, was Studio MDHR's biggest challenge, and as such the Moldenhauers went to great lengths to complete the game, even remortgaging their house in order to finance it.

Release
Though the game was shown during the Xbox press event of Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 to audience approval, it was not available to play and was estimated to be 40 percent complete. It was expected to be extended via expansion packs with 10 to 15 bosses each, similar to how Sonic & Knuckles added atop the Sonic series. Cuphead was released on September 29, 2017 for Windows and Xbox One, and it supports Xbox Play Anywhere. King Features Syndicate has the licensing rights to merchandise and assorted paraphernalia.

Downloadable content for the game, The Delicious Last Course, which adds a new island, boss encounters, and a third playable character (Ms. Chalice), was revealed at E3 2018 for release in 2019. However, the new content was pushed back into 2020 to avoid putting too much pressure and crunch time on the development team. It was further delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was eventually released on June 30, 2022.

A port of Cuphead for macOS was released on October 19, 2018, and advertised with an animated short titled Crisp Apples.

A port for the Nintendo Switch was released on April 18, 2019. This was made possible when Microsoft approached the development team about it. A PlayStation 4 port was released on July 28, 2020.

In June 2019, a port for Tesla, Inc.'s Linux-based operating system for some of its cars was announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who expressed his appreciation of the game. It was released in September 2019 as part of Tesla's software version 10, though only the first level was playable.

Reception

Ben Kuchera of Polygon wrote that Cuphead was one of the five most interesting reveals at Microsoft's E3 2014 press conference, even though he knew little about the game apart from its aesthetic. He said it "stood out immediately" and that everyone in the website's press room viscerally reacted to the trailer. Cuphead won the IGN Best Xbox One game at E3 award in 2015, and "Best Indie Game" at the Gamescom 2015 Awards. It was nominated as "Best Independent Game" at the E3 2016 Game Critics Awards.

Cuphead received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Its difficulty was noted by several media outlets. Destructoid'''s Brett Makedonski welcomed the high difficulty, which he noted as "tough but fair". Based on "exhaustive" pattern recognition, he said it ultimately relied on muscle memory, rather than reaction. He thought structuring the game around boss battles was well executed, and that each boss encounter held "different and special and memorable" traits. Praising the 1930s aesthetics as cohesive, he found the jazz-based soundtrack to be "similarly fabulous". He said the "eight-direction firing radius" was "clunky and awkward". Though dying 188 times in his playthrough, Ray Carsillo at EGMNow was not frustrated by the difficulty, but rather was motivated to "dig my heels in deeper". He lauded the "gorgeous" hand-drawn visuals, surpassed only by the gameplay which goes "beyond pattern recognition". Peter Brown of GameSpot opined that combating enemies provided a considerably rewarding experience. He described the cartoon aesthetic as charming, infusing "color and expression", and a "true recreation" of hand-drawn cel animation. He relished the quick loading times which serve trial and error tactics. Though he saw "the fear of the unexpected" as part of Cupheads thrill, he disparaged its failure to identify progress and capability.

Lucas Sullivan at GamesRadar+ wrote that Cuphead "stands tall among the best 2D shooters of all time", and that the gameplay demands patient pattern recognition, but which is not frustrating and would reward players "tenfold". Sullivan called the animation adorable, with a wealth of detail in the watercolor backdrops, which worked well with the gameplay. Giant Bombs Ben Pack remarked that playing the game yielded one of his most enjoyable gaming experiences, citing the combination of "brutal" platforming and an "exceptionally well realized" art style. Joe Skrebels of IGN declared every scene a "masterwork" and commended the sound work, calling it an "ideal match" to the aesthetics. He called platforming battles the most imaginative part, and the lack of enemy health bars its "smartest" and "most devilish" feature. He found the battles rewarding and "one of Cupheads greatest strengths". He said the "run 'n' gun, left-to-right platforming" lacked inventiveness, and criticized the "parry system" and control scheme. Chris Schilling of PC Gamer liked the "reliable jump and dash" controls with "nimble and responsive" handling. Schilling explained that certain random elements meant "you can't simply learn patterns by rote and rely entirely on muscle memory". Chris Plante of Polygon said the game educates the player in strategy through trial and error. He enjoyed the "crucial" and "relatively forgiving" parrying system, more than the various attacks. He complained that the final bosses diminished the game's greatest features, and that the difficulty "eventually goes too far". Colm Ahern of VideoGamer.com wrote, "Cuphead will best most games in how it looks and sounds, and defeating that boss that you once deemed unbeatable is glorious." He criticized the final bosses, saying that the challenge was "a step too far".Unwinnable writer Yussef Cole wrote an essay titled "Cuphead and the Racist Spectre of Fleischer Animation", arguing that by using the rubber hose animation style, Studio MDHR also brought up the "bigotry and prejudice" that had a strong influence on early animation, claiming that Studio MDHR ignored the context and history of the aesthetic it "so faithfully" replicated. Cole states that much of the imagery that Studio MDHR took from the Fleischer style effectively carried the racial stereotypes of minstrel shows that the animation style was built on and essentially whitewashed the past. Chad and Jared Moldenhauer had stated prior to release that they wanted to make an animation style that harkened back to 1930s cartoons without getting ties to racism or minstrel shows in them. Maja Moldenhauer further stated that all they wanted from the Fleischers was the animation style and visuals, and are "not versed in" anything else happening in that era.

Sales
In the two first weeks of release, more than one million copies of Cuphead were sold worldwide. Sales reached more than four million by July 2019, and five million by its second anniversary of release. By the time it was released for the PlayStation 4 in July 2020, it had reached 6 million sales. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course accumulated a total of one million sales within less than two weeks of its launch.

AwardsEntertainment Weekly placed Cuphead fifth on the list of its "Best Games of 2017", GamesRadar+ ranked it ninth on its list of the 25 Best Games of 2017", and Polygon ranked it 14th on its list of the "50 best games of 2017". In Game Informers Reader's Choice Best of 2017 Awards, the game won the "Best Microsoft Game" and "Best Co-op Multiplayer" categories, and got third place for "Best Action Game". The website also gave it the awards for "Best Microsoft Exclusive" in its "Best of 2017 Awards", and for "Best Bosses" in its 2017 Action Game of the Year Awards. EGMNow ranked the game at #2 on its list of the 25 best games of 2017. The Verge named it one of its 15 best video games of 2017.Cuphead was nominated for "Breakout Game of the Year" in PC Gamers 2017 Game of the Year Awards, and won the award for "Best Xbox One Game" in Destructoids Game of the Year Awards 2017.

 Legacy
A Cuphead Mii Fighter costume was added to the 2018 fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate via downloadable content in January 2020. It also came bundled with one of the game's boss level themes, "Floral Fury". Four Cuphead-themed "spirits" were added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in February 2020. Later in 2020, Arby's added limited-edition toys and papercrafts based on some characters from the game to its kids' menu at select locations. A tabletop game, Cuphead: Fast Rolling Dice Game, was released in 2021, featuring a companion app for iOS and Android that plays music and calculates the score.

 The Cuphead Show! The Cuphead Show!'', an animated series based on the game and produced by Netflix Animation, was announced in July 2019. The show does not use pen-and-paper animation methods like the game and instead uses digital animation. Chad and Jared Moldenhauer serve as executive producers alongside CJ Kettler from King Features Syndicate. The series premiered on February 18, 2022. On August 19, 2022, the 13-episode second season was released worldwide. The 11-episode third season was released on November 18, 2022.

title: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

text:
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a space shooter video game developed by Asteroid Base for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, Linux, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The project is part of the ID@Xbox program. The game's title is a reference to the Bruce Cockburn song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time".

Gameplay
The game can be played alone or with two to four players. The players pilot a spaceship with a variety of stations located inside it. These stations control the ship's weapons, engine, shield, Yamato cannon, and map. Each player controls only a single avatar (as well as commanding the AI pet in single-player mode), and thus must constantly move from station to station in order to balance flying the ship, protecting it from damage, and attacking enemies. During the course of gameplay, gift boxes can be discovered which may contain gems. These gems can be attached to the stations, giving them new, enhanced powers.

The game consists of four campaigns; each contains four levels and a boss fight. The goal of the regular levels is to find and rescue an assortment of captured creatures including bunnies, frogs, foxes, and ducks. After capturing five such creatures in a level, a heart-shaped portal to the next level is unlocked and the players may enter it to complete the level. A few levels feature an alternative gameplay mode in which a special engine is attached to the ship which the players must protect as it warps the ship to a new area. Up to ten creatures may be rescued per level. Creatures saved count towards improving the effectiveness of the ship by allowing two gems per station or unlocking new ship layouts.

Development
Designer Matt Hammill described the development of Lovers as "almost an accident", having wanted to create a game for a game jam that "was supposed to be this small three-day thing". However, after the jam was over the development team wanted to continue on with the concept. The team sought to avoid "default gunmetal, chrome, cyberpunk textured-look", with Hammill stating that they wanted to go in the opposite direction. The team focused on a brighter aesthetic based on such sources as Sailor Moon and Katamari Damacy.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime was showcased in July 2013 at PAX Prime.  The game was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, and Xbox One on September 9, 2015.

By 2016, the developers added 4-player co-op on top of the original 2-player co-op mode.

Release
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime was released on September 9, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, OS X, and Linux, and on October 3, 2017, for Nintendo Switch.

In February 2016, Asteroid Base teamed up with the monthly subscription box service IndieBox to create an exclusive, custom-designed, physical release of the game. This limited collector's edition included, among others, a themed USB flash drive with DRM-free copy of the game, the original soundtrack on CD, a Steam key (downloadable on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms), and various collectibles.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime became free to members on Xbox Live Gold in February 2017 and to members on PS Plus in April 2017.

Reception
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime received positive reviews from critics.  Aggregate review website Metacritic assigned a score of 82/100 for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions, and a score of 80/100 for the PC versions.

Simon Parkin from Eurogamer, playing the PC version, recommended the game. Destructoid awarded it a score of 10 out of 10, saying

title: William Moffat (MP)

text:
William Moffat (7 March 1737 – 12 January 1822) was an English banker, merchant and politician.

He was involved in several banking partnerships in London, and was also a merchant. By 1790 he lived in Bloomsbury, and in 1799 he bought the Painshill estate in Surrey, but sold it a few years later and lived in Wimbledon. In 1811, as a managing owner of East India Company ships, his business address is given as 27, Nicholas Lane. In 1819, it is 21, Birchin Lane.

He was elected at the 1802 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the rotten borough of Winchelsea in Sussex, but was not re-elected in 1806. According to Hansard he made no contributions as an MP.

East India Company Ships

William Moffat is listed as the owner of ships sailing on behalf of the East India Company from 1781 to 1833. Many sailed from Portsmouth, to destinations including India and China.

The Supplement to a Register of Ships Employed in the Service of the ... East India Company from 1760 to the Conclusion of the Commercial Charter, 1835 lists ships owned by William Moffat after he died in 1822. The majority of his estate went to his son, William Moffat, Jnr. The Supplement lists a company associated with the Winchelsea and Charles Grant: Messrs Moffat and Burnie. William Burnie was surgeon on some of William Moffat's ships and one of the executors of William Moffat's will.

Family

William Moffat's parents were John Moffat (1676–1742) and Margaret Moffat née Inglis. He married Elizabeth Bowland (c1737-1791), c1766. She died on 13 January 1791. On 31 December 1795, he married Elizabeth Harington (1771–1843).

He had three children by his first wife, Elizabeth Bowland: Elizabeth Moffat (1771–1799), William Moffat, Jnr (1774–1851) and Margaret Thorold Moffat (1775–1794).

He was buried in Bath Abbey on 21 January 1822.

Family Tree

This only shows members of the family discussed below.

William Moffat, Jnr (1774–1851)

William Moffat, Jnr married twice: Ann Palmer (c1774-1805), daughter of Charles Palmer of Thurnscoe Hall in 1797 and, in 1807, Jane Wheatley (1783–1858) In all, he had 19 (possibly 21) children. Many are mentioned in William Moffat, MP's will. He died on 25 August 1851 in Weymouth and was buried in Mortlake on 2 September 1851.

All his children from 1814 to 1824 were born in Mortlake, Surrey. Surrey Land Tax records list William Moffat at Mortlake, from 1813 to 1831. The property details show him renting a "Large house and garden, coach house and stable" and "a meadow opposite the house". There are memorials to the Moffat family in St Mary the Virgin, Mortlake.

In 1826, J M W Turner exhibited a painting, "The Seat of William Moffatt Esq., at Mortlake. Early (Summer’s) Morning"

William Moffat's eldest son, William Palmer Moffat (1797–1833) married Frances Pearson (c1797-1868), daughter of William Pearson (1767–1847), one of the founders of the Royal Astronomical Society. William Palmer Moffat sailed on the East Indiaman Duke of York, 31 December 1817 – 4 May 1819, (Bombay and China). He married Frances Pearson on 2 June 1819. He died in Bruges in January 1833.

Captain William Moffat (1774–1850)

Voyages of ships owned by William Moffat, with William Moffat as captain.

Because Captain William Moffat sailed on East India Company ships owned by William Moffat, MP, there has been some confusion, sometimes resulting in them being thought to be one person. In fact, they were uncle and nephew. As stated above, William Moffat, MP's father was John Moffat (1676–1742). The memorial in Kolkata (below) shows that Captain William Moffat's father was James Moffat (1733–1788).

Captain William Moffat was born on 5 April 1774, in Rochester, Kent. He was the son of William Moffat, MP's brother, James, who died in India in 1788. William Moffat erected a memorial to James Moffat, and James' brother John, in South Park Street Cemetery, Kolkata in 1800 while Captain of the Phoenix. The ship sailed from Torbay on 27 May 1800 and returned to moorings on 11 June 1802. At the time, the Phoenix was owned by William Moffat, MP.

He married Sarah Money on 23 December 1811 in Walthamstow, Essex. The Naval Chronicle: listed their marriage: "Captain William Moffat, of the Hon. Company's ship, Winchelsea, to Miss Sarah Money, daughter of the late William Money, Esq.".

Sarah Money was the sister of William Taylor Money (1769–1834). William Taylor Money sailed on William Moffat MP's ship  twice: on her first voyage, from 21 February 1787 to 22 June 1788, as 4th Mate and her second voyage, from 6 March 1789 to 26 April 1790, as 2nd Mate. Rose is in the background of the painting The Money Brothers by John Francis Rigaud, now at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.

William Moffat died on 14 September 1850, in Kensington, Middlesex.

Harington family

William Moffat's second wife, Elizabeth Harington (1771–1843) had two brothers: James Eyre Harington (1774–1836) and Thomas Talbot Harington (1780–1841).

James Eyre Harington was Purser on William Moffat's ship the Ganges on a voyage to St Helena, Bencoolen and China from 5 June 1797 to 10 February 1799. He married Captain William Moffat's sister, Margaret Moffat on 12 December 1799. He was rector of Sapcote, Leicester and Chalbury, Dorset. He was one of the executors of William Moffat's will in 1822.

Thomas Talbot Harington (1780–1841) was one of the captains on William Moffat's ships. After the Ganges was lost in May 1807, Captain William Moffat wrote to William Moffat, MP requesting that Thomas Talbot Harington be paid for the voyage.

title: Flavio Emilio Scogna

text:
Flavio Emilio Scogna  (born 16 August 1956 in Savona, Liguria) is an Italian composer and conductor.

Biography
After studying at the Conservatory of Genoa, Scogna subsequently went on to further his studies in composition and conducting, amongst others, with Franco Ferrara in Rome (1982/1983), with Franco Donatoni and Aldo Clementi at the University of Bologna. In 1984 he went on to specialize with Luciano Berio with whom he was to strike up a strong relationship based on friendship and professional respect. This was to have a decisive effect on his development as a conductor. In 1988, along with Berio, he carried out the transcription and elaboration of Wir bauen eine Stadt by Paul Hindemith, which was performed in the same year in the Konzerthaus in Wien.
Scogna's works are performed in the most prestigious places (Accademia Nazionale di S.Cecilia, Teatro Comunale di Firenze, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Auditorium Nacional in Madrid, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma) and they are recorded on RCA, BMG Ariola as well as broadcast by the major European radios and televisions (RAI, BBC, RNE, BRT, Radio France amongst the others). In 1998 he represented the RAI television network at the Prix Italia, with the radio work "L’Arpa Magica" based on a text by Edoardo Sanguineti. He has given lectures and seminars regarding his own compositions, in Europe and in several colleges in the United States.
In October 2002 Flavio Emilio Scogna successfully conducted "La memoria perduta" (directed by Pier-Alli), work commissioned by the Rome Opera House.
Besides being a composer, from 1990 he is an international acclaimed Orchestra Conductor both in the classical and operatic repertoire (He has revalued important classics and has often edited them personally, such as Pergolesi, Boccherini and Rossini), in the twentieth century and contemporary repertoire with a very large number of premieres (he is now considered one of the most popular conductors among the major living composers), such as Aldo Clementi, Sylvano Bussotti, Luis De Pablo, Ennio Morricone, Giacomo Manzoni, Adriano Guarnieri and in the historic twentieth century (Erik Satie and Nino Rota, for whom he pressed the first global record of the work "I due timidi").
He directed some of the most important international symphonic orchestras such as the Kiev Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rai Symphonic Orchestra, the RTVE Symphony Orchestra, the Rome Opera House Orchestra, the Hungarian State Symphonic Orchestra, the Raanana Sinfonietta of Israel, the Icelandic Symphonic Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, the Orchestre Symphonique et Lyrique de Nancy, the Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano Orchestra, the Sicilian Symphonic Orchestra, the Filarmonica Toscanini Orchestra and the National Academy Orchestra of Santa Cecilia, as well as internationally acclaimed ensembles such as Alternance in Paris, The Accademia Bizantina, Circulo in Madrid and the Ensemble Strumentale Scaligero. In 1995 he directed the opening concert for the celebration of the centenary of the International Music Festival of the Biennale di Venezia with "Quare Tristis" of Adriano Guarnieri.
From 1999 he conducts the Cantelli Orchestra and the Symphonic Orchestra of Italy in Milan for the concerts of the music "NovecentoMusica" Festival with Luigi Pestalozza as artistic director.
Flavio Emilio Scogna's discography is very rich and comprises recordings for RCABMG (RCA Red Seal), Brilliant Classic, Curci, RicordiMediastore, FonitCetra, Dynamic, Tactus and Bongiovanni.
His CD recording of Schnittke's works (Dynamic S 2030) gained the highest rating (10) given by the magazine Répertoire in the year 2000.
From 2006 to 2009 he was the conductor of the Ensemble Contemporaneo of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia and in 2009 he became Principal Conductor of the Bari Symphony Orchestra.

title: Reliance Athletic Club

text:
The Reliance Athletic Club was an athletic club and gentlemen's club in Oakland, California, United States. Founded in 1885, the organization grew rapidly as it added other sports and social activities, reaching its peak in the mid-1890s before financial troubles led to its bankruptcy and disestablishment in 1910.

History and activities

The club was founded as a baseball club in 1885 in downtown Oakland. The club's focus was on developing physical fitness for its members in its gymnasium, including sports such as boxing and fencing.

Football teams representing the club competed with other west coast athletic clubs, including the Olympic Club of San Francisco and the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, Oregon, and also played college teams, most commonly those of Stanford and California.

The club was one of several in the Bay Area that trained young boxers, and the club staged regular boxing events at its facilities. In 1905, the club organized and sponsored an outdoor track and field meet. In addition to sports, club members played billiards and card games and hosted social events to which women were also invited.

Growth
The club moved several times to various locations around Oakland as it grew. The club was incorporated in 1892 with a membership of 300, and by 1893, had 350 members and held a gala affair as it moved into a three-story building at the corner of San Pablo Avenue and 17th Street. The club remained in this facility into the first decade of the 20th century, but after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was forced to relocate to accommodate San Francisco businesses that moved to Oakland when their buildings were destroyed. The new location was renovated in early 1907, but by the summer of 1907, the club had moved again near the Piedmont Baths.

Demise and legacy
By 1910, the club had moved several more times but was apparently facing financial difficulties; in August 1910, a contractor sued the members for $2,300 owed to him. With no money in the treasury, the club declared bankruptcy and dissolved the organization.

The building at 17th and San Pablo in which the club was at its peak was converted to the Reliance Theater in 1916. The theater was later known as the American Theater and finally the Esquire Theater. The building was demolished in the 1950s to make way for a Mel's Drive-In.

title: Seafest

text:
Seafest was a 12-day festival in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Since 1979 locals and visitors have come together every summer to celebrate the food, culture, and life of our coastal community. For the 2023 calendar year, Seafest took place July 12th to 23rd.

History
Beginning in 1979, Seafest was a unique maritime festival that takes place every July in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Having once been under the control of the Yarmouth Development Corporation, Seafest was then run entirely by volunteers. The Canadian Government supported Seafest in the form of funding, and the town's MLA, Zach Churchill, served as an advocate for the festival, having established its importance with Premier Stephen McNeil, published as a Stephen's Pick.

Signature events
Parades on foot, floats, and boats are part of the festival. Other events included a mackerel toss, rum running races, and sea balloons on the wharf in the harbor. The history of Yarmouth was portrayed through many tours throughout the town, along with museum day.

The Classic Car Cruise is a popular event during the festival, usually taking place on the Friday night of the week. This event is hosted by the  Roaring 20s Antique Auto club.

Awards
Seafest was nationally recognized through an online poll on canoe.ca  as Canada's top Summer Event in 2013. The 2014 poll begun and Seafest won the Nova Scotia Top Summer Event and is heading to the National Poll for a second year in a row. Seafest has also been recognized provincially through the West Jet Fun'N Festival Series.

title: Clepsis peritana

text:
Clepsis peritana, the garden tortrix or strawberry garden tortrix, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Spain, Cuba, as well as North America, where it has been recorded from southern Canada throughout the United States.

The wingspan is 10–15 mm for males and 12–15 mm for females. The forewings are tan to brown. Males have a brown to dark-brown median fascia and a dark-brown costal spot. Females have similar markings but the median fascia and costal spot are less distinct.  Adults have been recorded on wing from March to September, in several generations per year.

The larvae feed on Chrysanthemum, Cynara cardunculus, Senecio jacobaea, Stachys, Fragaria, Citrus, Scrophularia californica and Solanum torvum. They live in silk tubes on the leaf surface. They feed on dead or decaying leaf litter, but will occasionally feed in the buds or fruits of living plants. Full-grown larvae reach a length of 13–14 mm. They have a light green abdomen, but the body colour can vary depending on the host plant. The head is yellowish brown.

The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze was instituted by the State President of the Republic of Bophuthatswana in 1982, for award to all ranks as a long service medal for ten years service and good conduct.

The Bophuthatswana Defence Force
The Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) was established upon that country's independence on 6 December 1977. The Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Bophuthatswana Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze was instituted by the State President of Bophuthatswana in 1982. It is the junior award of a set of three medals for long service and good conduct, along with the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Gold and the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver.

Bophuthatswana's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three medals are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Good Service Medal, Gold, the Good Service Medal, Silver and the Good Service Medal, Bronze.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for ten years service and good conduct.

Order of wear

Since the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.

Bophuthatswana Defence Force until 26 April 1994

Official BDF order of precedence:

 Succeeded by the KwaZulu Police Good Service Medal.

The position of the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze in the order of precedence remained unchanged, as it was on 27 April 1994, when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted in April 1996 for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again when a new series of military orders, decorations and medals was instituted in South Africa on 27 April 2003.

Description

title: Elkhorn South High School

text:
Elkhorn South High School is a public high school in Omaha, Nebraska. Opened in 2010, the school serves students in grades 9 through 12 and is one of three traditional high school operated by Elkhorn Public Schools.

History
Serious talks about the addition of an Elkhorn Public Schools high school began in November 2004, when the school board voted to pay $100,000 for an 8-year option to purchase a 63-acre parcel near 204th and Pacific streets for a price of $48,000 per acre. These funds were raised by bonds passed by voters in 2002 and 2004. This would become the site of Elkhorn's second high school, later named Elkhorn South High School.  Two years later, in the November 2006 election, voters approved a $96 million bond that would fund the school's construction. In August, 2007, the Elkhorn School Board approved the school's new name: Elkhorn South High School. In addition, they also voted that the school's colors would be navy and gold with the mascot being the Storm. These were recommended to the Board by a 15-person committee that was tasked with narrowing a list of 35 community-submitted potential names.

Construction on Elkhorn South began in April 2008. At the time, the school's estimated building cost was $40.5 million, and would be built to hold 1,000 students. The school was designed by the DLR Group and its architecture was inspired by schools in Kansas City and Lincoln. The board named Mark Kalvoda as principal in January 2009.  When the school opened, students living south of West Dodge Road would attend Elkhorn South High School while students north of Dodge would remain at Elkhorn High School, the district's first high school. Elkhorn South's boundary has not changed to date.

Elkhorn South's doors opened to 610 ninth through eleventh graders in August 2010. The graduating class of the 2010-2011 school year remained at Elkhorn High School, making the class of 2012 the first graduating class of Elkhorn South. Elkhorn South's student population continued to grow, and by 2014, the school reached 1,074 students, surpassing the capacity of 1,000. That year the Board of Education asked voters to pass a $63.1 million bond that would cover the cost of a 500-student addition to the school.  The bond was passed, and construction on the addition began in spring 2015. The addition opened to students and staff in the fall of 2016.

In 2021, Elkhorn's newest high school, Elkhorn North High School, opened near 180th and West Maple Road. Elkhorn South's boundary was not affected by the opening, and the school continues to serve all Elkhorn students south of West Dodge Road. Mark Kalvoda continues to serve as principal.

Demographics
According to the Nebraska Department of Education, during the 2021-2022 school year, the school had 1,417 students. Approximately 89.7% of students identify as white and about 10.3% identify as one or more other races. The state reports that 66.75% of teachers at the school possess a master's degree. The school is located in Elkhorn, a large suburb of Omaha, Nebraska.

Academics
ESHS offers dual enrollment classes with the University of Nebraska Omaha.

Athletics
Elkhorn South athletic teams are nicknamed the Storm and compete in the Metropolitan High School Activities Association.

Performing arts
Elkhorn South has three competitive show choirs: the mixed-gender "Blackout" and "Power Surge" as well as the all-female "Shockwave". The program also hosts an annual competition, the "Crystal Cup".

Elkhorn South also has two competitive jazz bands: "Blue Sage" and "Parkway."

title: Santa Croce alla Lungara

text:
Santa Croce alla Lungara is a church in Rome (Italy), in the Rione Trastevere, facing on Via della Lungara.
It is also called Santa Croce delle Scalette''', due to the presence of a double flight of stairs (Italian: scale) giving access from the street; or Buon Pastore, since in the 19th century the church and the annexed cloister were entrusted to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers.

The church was built in 1619 thanks to the subsidies of the Duke of Bavaria and of Cardinal Antonio Barberini, the brother of Pope Urban VIII; the cloister dates back to 1615 and was founded by the carmelite Domenico di Gesù e Maria "in order to take the indecent women away from sin" (Armellini).

The interior of the church shows a single nave and has been altered in the 19th century with a quite neoclassical style. The high altar housed a painting portraying Jesus bearing the cross, now replaced with a Crucifix by Francesco Troppa; the same author also painted the Annunciation on the right altar. Another noteworthy work is Mary Magdalene by Ciccio da Napoli.

The annexed cloister, enlarged in the 19th century by Virginio Vespignani, always maintained its function as a redemption or rehabilitation house; in 1950, when the nuns left the institute, the building became a detachment of the women's prison for misdemeanors. This use ended in 1979 and now the cloister houses the Casa Internazionale delle Donne.

title: Holy Ghost Tent Revival

text:
Holy Ghost Tent Revival (now known as Moves or Big Sound Harbor ) is an American horn-driven rock and roll band with blues and folk leanings. Formed in North Carolina in 2008, current members are Stephen Murray, Dulci Ellenberger, Kevin Williams, Matt Martin, Ross Montsinger, Henry Widmer and Charlie Humphrey. They've released three studio albums, and the band tours frequently; in 2010 that included approximately 300 shows per year, including festivals such as Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, Floyd Fest and Wakarusa. Paste Magazine described their style as "soul-inspired rock that maintains a rootsy sound, brightened by warm swells of horns and rich harmonies.”

History

Founding
Holy Ghost Tent Revival was first founded in Greensboro, North Carolina in February 2007. The original founding members, Stephen Murray (vocals, guitar) and Matt Martin (lead guitar, vocals), began writing music together while both pursued acting degrees at Greensboro College. In the beginning, they casually wrote songs together, and it wasn't long before Hank Widmer (trombone, clarinet) and Josh Lovings (trumpet) joined the group. After starting to perform around campus, they added bass player PJ Leslie and finally Ross Montsinger on drums, then spent several years with a changing lineup, adding piano into the instrumental lineup. The band began touring in earnest in the summer of 2007, once most of the members had graduated.

Touring, early releases
So Long I Screamed (2008)

Their debut full-length album So Long I Screamed was released on December 14, 2008. Allmusic gave So Long I Screamed a score of 4/5, stating that "the songs, although they initially seem like loosely constructed affairs, are actually tightly crafted pop gems with timeless melodies, great harmonies, and subject matter that more often than not circles around the craziness of love, all delivered with an immediate and organic rush of joy."

The album incorporates multiple genres, blending various instruments traditionally used across those genres. Indy Week stated that "Holy Ghost punctuates ragtime with horns, pierces jump blues with shouts, and peppers folk with barbershop style. IndyWeek also praised the imagery and storytelling, much of which refers to antiquated American scenes.

Touring, live albums

Since 2011 the band has played around 150 shows annually, with festivals including Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, Floyd Fest and Wakarusa. They toured the most heavily in 2009 and 2010 playing nearly 300 shows annually.

Family EP (2009)
The band's first EP and follow-up to So Long I Screamed is titled Family, and was recorded with contributions from several local guest musicians. This collective of contributors is credited as The Lovely Hot Starving Street Band on the album, which is an anagram of the name Holy Ghost Tent Revival.  Family was released on September 18, 2009 on Good Ship Records.

Northbound at Southpaw (2010)
On July 24, 2010 they released the live album Northbound at Southpaw, recorded at the Brooklyn venue Southpaw in 2009. New York Music Daily stated, "On their live album rambunctious electric piano mingles with Hank Widmer’s trombone to add a jaunty ragtime flavor over the electric guitars, bass and drums. A lot of the songs here sound like the Wiyos gone electric, with a brisk shuffle beat, tasteful high-energy playing and lots of vocal harmonies. This isn’t particularly dark music but it’s smart and it’s a lot of fun – and it’s absolutely original."

Recent albums and projects
Sweat Like The Old Days (2012)
Holy Ghost Tent Revival's second full-length album Sweat Like The Old Days was released on September 4, 2012. The Daily Tarheel stated the album showed growth from their first 2008 release, and that Sweat Like the Old Days "melds the goodness of Bourbon Street-style jazz and Appalachian folk into a solid toe-tapping release. Timeless as the record sounds, it maintains the lush animation and instrumentation of contemporary indie rock, providing an invigorating modernity that prevents the album from sounding the least bit stale. It’s a celebration of times and relationships come and gone, delving into a musical box of memories with effortless style." Around 2012 trumpeter Charlie Humphrey joined the group.

Alive at the Southern and The Blood Beneath (2013)
In 2013, the band released two digital-only albums, one live and one previously unreleased studio album (originally slated for release in 2010). Alive at the Southern, a live album recorded in November 2012, at the Southern in Charlottesville, where the band opened for Charleston, SC duo Shovels & Rope was released in April. The Blood Beneath was released in June, and according to the release description on the band's bandcamp, "contains in it the voices and musical stylings of our old buds Patrick Leslie and Mike O'Malley and was recorded over the course of some blistery days, in January of 2010."

"Right State Of Mind" (2014)
In 2014, the band raised nearly $23,000 in a successful Kickstarter for their album Right State of Mind,  which was released on September 16. It was recorded in Philadelphia with producer Bill Moriarty (who has worked with Dr. Dog, Man Man, and The Sheepdogs amongst others). and brings a refined maturity to their unique tone.

"Summer Jelly EP" (2016)
This pay-what-you-want/can EP contains recording of four of the band's jams.

Style
Initial albums

The group members write the music together, using a rotating and diverse array of instruments in a style the band self-defines as "horn-driven rock and roll experience." Allmusic stated early on that "The raucous six-piece band plays a lot on the bluegrass festival circuit, but they sure aren't bluegrass...although they do play essentially acoustic and there are banjos aboard. They're sort of like a jug band, too, but with a rock and pop sensibility...gone south into the land of indie rock."

NPR described them as "a soul-rock horn band that recalls '60s and '70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers, contemporary indie-rock acts like Dr. Dog, and New Orleans brass-band jazz." Paste Magazine described their sound as "soul-inspired rock that maintains a rootsy sound, brightened by warm swells of horns and rich harmonies.”

Later sound
In an interview with No Depression in 2013, member Stephen Murray stated,"It started off very Dixieland and ragtime, and right now we’re so much into the ‘60s and ‘70s, like horn-rock, The Band and The Stones and The Beatles, kind of just like really groovy. R&B is starting to be a huge influence on us now, with the newer tunes. So yeah, I tell people we’re a ‘60s rock band with horns."

After the members started listening heavily to bands such as The Band and 1960s rock such as The Kinks, their sound naturally began to change. Lead guitarist Matt Martin stated "We got caught up in the whole bluegrass and acoustic thing a few years ago, but we never knew that we were actually a rock and roll band in disguise. I’ve wanted to expand my sound and go more electric...you fill the room up with sound a lot more with two electric guitars, as opposed to an acoustic guitar and a banjo."

Several critics noted the change in the band's sound, stating the band "has morphed from an eclectic and fun quintet that mixed bluegrass influences with ragtime into a horn-driven soul and rock group with New Orleans-influenced grooves. Gone is the banjo, as electric guitars have taken center stage in the band’s sound, which is backed by a steady and upbeat horn section."

Family, name and career
Hope-Grant was the son of the portrait painter and president of the Royal Academy Sir Francis Grant; his uncle was the general James Hope Grant, and for a time, including his cricket career and his Cambridge University graduation, Ferdinand adopted the name "Hope-Grant", while at other times "Hope" was one of three forenames.

Hope-Grant was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge. On graduation from Cambridge, he was ordained as a Church of England priest. He was vicar of Kimbolton, then in Huntingdonshire, now in Cambridgeshire, from 1868 to his death, and also acted as a chaplain to the Prince of Wales.

title: Chonghaejin Marine

text:
Chonghaejin Marine Company Ltd. or Cheonghaejin Marine Company Ltd. () was a South Korean shipping company that operated the ferry MV Sewol, which sank en route from Incheon towards Jeju in 2014. The Sewol capsized in the Maenggol Channel carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School; 172 passengers and crew survived, while 304 drowned or are still missing.

Company
Chonghaejin Marine Company Ltd. was set up on 24 February 1999, and became a key entity to consolidate Yoo Byung-eun's bankrupt company Semo's shipping business, taking over ships and assets held by Semo Marine, and had Semo's debts written off. Yoo Byung-eun's two sons are controlling the shipping firm through a majority stake in the investment vehicle I-One-I Holdings as well as 13 unlisted affiliates which through a tangled web of ownership structure own each other. After Sewols sinking, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries cancelled Chonghaejin Marine's license to operate ferries on the Incheon-Jeju Island route in May 2014.

In mid June 2014, Chonhaiji Co. Ltd., a ship block maker controlled by the sons of businessman Yoo Byung-eun, and the major shareholder of Chonghaejin Marine Company with 39.4%, lodged its application for receivership at the Changwon District Court. Chonhaiji had  billion (~ million) in outstanding debt to main creditor Korea Development Bank. On 12 June 2014 a man's body was found in a field 415 kilometres south of Seoul. A few weeks later after forensic testing police revealed it was the body of Yoo Byung-eun. While foul play was ruled out, police said they had yet to establish the cause of death.

title: Without Apparent Motive

text:
Without Apparent Motive () is a 1971 French thriller film directed by Philippe Labro and adapted from the 1963 novel Ten Plus One by Ed McBain. Set in Nice, it tells the story of a police detective faced with a series of unexplained killings of apparently unconnected people by a mystery sniper.

Plot
Unmarried police detective Carella sees Jocelyne, a sexy old flame who is being trailed by an Englishman. Any thoughts of taking up with her again are put aside because he has to investigate the assassination by a single shot from a long-range 0.22 rifle of Forest, a prominent local businessman. The widow is no help but the man's stepdaughter Sandra mentions an associate Barroyer, who later that day is killed in exactly the same way. Sandra also finds her stepfather's secret diary, which among many trysts recorded a steamy night with Jocelyne. Next day, Carella asks Jocelyne round to his flat and she is shot dead on the steps outside. He has learned that both Forest and Barroyer smuggled money through an astrologer and drug dealer called Kleinberg, who is shot later that day.  After four deaths in two days, Carella's boss is frantic. Though the police have linked the victims to money laundering, narcotics and prostitution, nothing adds up to a motive for murdering them.

Sandra gives them a big clue, as she knows two men who were at university with the four victims, one is a TV presenter called Sabirnou and the other a theatre director called Palombo. Both are brought in for questioning and a picture emerges. With two women whose present married names are unknown, as students all were in the cast of a play together. Why this should lead to their deaths remains unknown until next day one of the two unknown women, Hélène, approaches the police. She reveals to Carella that the end of run party degenerated into a mass sex orgy and that when Juliette, the other unknown woman, refused to join in she was gang raped. It remains to find Juliette, which happens next day when her husband rings the police. Arriving to take her in for questioning, Carella is shot at by a long-range rifle and, returning fire, he wounds the sniper.

Reception
TV Guide called it "a deft thriller in the hardboiled tradition of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett", and said that "Labro slowly builds up a feeling of impending doom, holding the mystery's solution until the very end and maintaining a consistent mood."
