# My Idea of Fun
***My Idea of Fun*** is the second novel by Will Self, and was published in 1993.
## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
A lonely boy grows up just outside Brighton in a caravan park with his over-sexual mother and the tenant Mr Broadhurst, who takes the boy on a disturbing and often violent journey.
The novel works as a strange Bildungsroman, in which the main character, Ian Wharton, learns the art of black magic from Broadhurst, who is also known as the Fat Controller. At the Fat Controller\'s behest Ian engages in a series of strange acts including time travel and trips to an alternate reality called the Land of Children\'s jokes, a grotesque alternate universe inhabited by the menacing and deformed characters from jokes. The protagonist\'s education culminates in bizarre rites of bestiality and necrophilia. However, he finds that in exchange for knowledge of the black arts Broadhurst begins to take over more and more aspects of his life.
The novel may also be seen as an example of an unreliable narrator, as it is unclear whether the strange events in the novel are meant to be real or hallucinatory.
## Reviews
Nicholas Lezard said of the book that \"No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligence. Rejoice

It was the 35th staging of the U.S. National Championships, the first held at Forest Hills and the second Grand Slam tennis event of the year.
## Relocation to Forest Hills {#relocation_to_forest_hills}
In 1915 the national championship was relocated from Newport, Rhode Island to the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills, New York. Already in 1911 an effort was made by a group of tennis players, headed by Karl H. Behr from New York, to relocate the tournament to New York but by a vote of 95 to 60 it was decided to remain in Newport. In early 1915 the issue resurfaced when a group of about 100 tennis players signed a petition in favor of the move, arguing that most tennis clubs, players and fans were located in the New York area and that it would therefore be beneficial for the development of the sport to host the national championship there. This view was opposed by another group of players which included eight former national singles champions. The contentious issue was brought to a vote at the annual United States National Lawn Tennis Association (USNLTA) meeting on February 5, 1915 and with 128 votes in favor and 119 against it was decided to relocate to Forest Hills.

# 1917 U.S. National Championships (tennis)
The **1917 U.S. National Championships** (now known as the US Open), officially renamed that year to **National Patriotic Tournament**, was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor grass courts at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills in New York City, New York. The tournament ran from August 20 until August 25. It was the 37th staging of the U.S. National Championships and due to World War I the only Grand Slam tennis event of the year.
## National Patriotic Tournament {#national_patriotic_tournament}
The tournament was renamed **National Patriotic Tournament** in support of the war effort. No trophies were handed out to the winners and the entrance fees were dedicated to the American Red Cross. Robert Lindley Murray defeated Bostonian Nathaniel W. Niles in four sets in the men\'s final.
In the commemorative book \'Fifty Years of Lawn Tennis in the United States\', published by the USLTA in 1931, Lindley Murray commented on the final: \"I succeeded in beating Nat Niles 5--7, 8--6, 6--3, 6--3, plenty of indication that the match was close and hard fought. I remember well that, try as I would, I could not get into the full swing of my game those first two sets. This was because my opponent was driving beautifully, particularly low, fast ones to my backhand. In addition he was lobbing so accurately and deeply that, try as I would, I could not bring off my kills. Nat led me one set to love and 6--5 in the second set. which was mighty close to being two sets down. But about that time my game began to get going. Up until that time I had just been missing and while desperately dashing all over the court my shots would end in just hitting the net or just going out. From the twelfth game of the second set, on for the rest of the match, things began to go right, and at the end I felt as if I was playing as well as I know how.\"

# The Mix-Up
***The Mix-Up*** is the seventh studio album by the American hip hop group Beastie Boys, released on June 26, 2007. The album consists entirely of instrumental performances and won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
## Background
On May 1, 2007, an e-mail sent to those on Beastie Boys\' mailing list revealed the album is all instrumental. `{{cquote|OK, here's our blurb about our new album — it spits hot fire! — hot shit! it's official... it's named THE MIX-UP. g'wan. all instrumental record. "see i knew they were gonna do that!" that's a quote from you. check the track listing and cover below. you love us. don't you?"}}`{=mediawiki}
On June 21, 2007, a legal stream of the entire album was released on BrooklynVegan.com. Drummer Mike D said that \"even though *The Mix-Up* is a \'post-punk instrumental\' album, the Beasties have no plans to ditch vocals for good. In fact, they are currently planning another version of the album that will feature collaborations with \'a pretty wide array\' of \'mostly newer\' vocalists.\" Two singers speculated to be featured on the vocal version were Jarvis Cocker and M.I.A.
In an interview with *The Aquarian Weekly*, published in February 2008, the band was asked if they were making a statement about the status of hip-hop music by releasing an album strictly of instrumentals. "In a way, the album was a reaction to our hip hop,\" said Ad-Rock \"Our last record was an all rap record, so when we started recording \[*The Mix Up*\] we wanted to work with some instruments, and it just sounded cool, so we kept with it." Mike D expanded on Ad-Rock\'s response, adding, \"We get asked, 'What do you think of the state of hip hop today?' a lot. Maybe I'm being defensive, but it seems like people always look for us to come out and criticize hip hop. But hip hop is what we grew up on, and it continues to be one of the only forms of music left that strives on evolution and innovation. Yeah, we might be in a spell where we're waiting for that next record to come out and change everything---but still, that's what hip hop is and that's what puts it in its unique place."
## Critical reception {#critical_reception}
The album debuted at number 15 on the U.S. *Billboard* 200, selling 44,000 copies in its first week. It was their lowest charting album in the US. *Uncut* magazine gave it four stars out of five, saying \"*The Mix-Up* is the best record collection ever thoroughly digested and re-imagined by a bunch of guys in love with sound.\" *The Mix-Up* won a Grammy in the Best Pop Instrumental category.

The tournament ran from September 2 until September 9, 1940. It was the 60th staging of the U.S. National Championships and the second Grand Slam tennis event of the year because of the cancellation of Wimbledon and the French Championships due to World War II. Don McNeill capped an outstanding season with his win over Bobby Riggs in the finals of the men\'s singles. Earlier in the year McNeill won the U.S. Men\'s Intercollegiate Singles Championships for Kenyon College, defeating Joe Hunt of Navy. A dramatic moment occurred in this 1940 National Championships during the men\'s singles quarter-final match between 1943 national champion, Joe Hunt and third seeded Frank Kovacs. Kovacs had the reputation as a court clown, and early in the third set, Kovacs\' antics with the gallery compelled Hunt to sit down on the baseline and refuse to play until the umpire stopped the disturbance. Hunt ignored several of Kovacs\' serves, allowing them to harmlessly fly by. In short order, Kovacs also sat on his baseline and Forest Hills experienced what was called \"tennis\' first sit-down strike.\" About five minutes went by with the crowd alternately cheering and jeering. When order was restored, Hunt went on to win the match in straight sets

# Bernhard Heine
**Bernhard Heine** (August 20, 1800, Schramberg (Black Forest) -- July 31, 1846, Glockenthal near Thun (Switzerland)) was a German physician, bone specialist and the inventor of the osteotome, a medical tool for cutting bones.
## Apprenticeship in Würzburg {#apprenticeship_in_würzburg}
Bernhard Heine was born on August 20, 1800, as the son of a tanner in Schramberg. At the age of ten (according to other references, thirteen) years he was apprenticed to his uncle Johann Georg Heine in Würzburg as an orthopaedic mechanic. Without any enrolment he later attended lectures in medicine at the University of Würzburg.
After a number of journeys he took over his own department in his uncle\'s orthopaedic institute. When Johann Georg moved to the Netherlands in 1829, Bernhard - together with his cousin Joseph Heine - became the head of the Würzburg institution.
In 1837 Bernhard Heine married his cousin (Johann Georg\'s daughter) Anna Heine (born 1801).
## Inventing the osteotome {#inventing_the_osteotome}
In 1830, after years of research and development, Heine presented a medical tool to his colleagues. It was a \"bone saw\", which he called the \"osteotome\", and which revolutionized surgical treatment. His invention was a great success among medical experts all over Europe. Heine travelled to other parts of Germany, and to France and Russia to present it to other surgeons. In 1836 a doctoral thesis on the \"Osteotome and its application\" was published in Munich.

--------------------- ----------------------------------------
Heine declined an offer of the Russian Tsar Nicholas I to take over the position of an orthopaedic senior consultant at the imperial school in Kronstadt and returned to Würzburg. The University of Würzburg awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1836 and an honorary professorship in 1838, although he had never acquired any degree.
## Research work on bone formation {#research_work_on_bone_formation}
Heine acquired valuable knowledge in the field of bone formation and bone regeneration, which is still valid today. He was able to prove that the periosteum, the tissue covering the bones, is decisive in bone regeneration and therefore has to be spared violation in the operating process. From 1844 he was an associate professor at the University of Würzburg, teaching experimental physiology.
## Death and legacy {#death_and_legacy}
He fell ill with tuberculosis and died on July 31, 1846, while on holiday in Glockenthal near Thun in Switzerland. His early death did not allow him to publish his findings; it was not until 1926, eighty years after his death, that his research findings were published (see external link [biography](http://www.hanshekler.de/ch/history/Heine/bheine.htm))

# Dave Loos
**David Henry Loos** (born March 5, 1947) is a retired American college basketball coach who most recently served as head coach of the men\'s team at Austin Peay State University, where he is also a former athletic director. He was head coach from 1990 until retiring at the end of the 2016--17 season.
On April 2, 2013, Loos announced that he would relinquish his position as director of athletics to focus solely on coaching basketball. Derek van der Merwe was announced as the successor to Loos on June 5, 2013. On March 5, 2016, the Loos-coached Governors won the tournament championship of the Ohio Valley Conference, thus qualifying to participate once again in the NCAA Division I men\'s basketball tournament.
The following season, which ultimately proved to be his last as head coach, was set against the backdrop of a battle with colorectal cancer. During the 2016 offseason, he underwent surgery to remove the malignancy. A malignant lymph node was found during the procedure, and he began chemotherapy. Loos was forced to take a medical leave in January 2017, missing four games. After the Governors failed to make the 2017 OVC tournament, ending their season, Loos chose to retire. The university announced his decision on March 2, which was followed by a full press conference on March 6

# William de Grey, 1st Baron Walsingham
**William de Grey, 1st Baron Walsingham** PC KC (7 July 1719 -- 9 May 1781), was a British lawyer, judge and politician. He served as Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas between 1771 and 1780. de Grey was the third son of Thomas de Grey, MP, of Merton, Norfolk, and Elizabeth Windham, daughter of William Windham. He was the younger brother of another Thomas de Grey. The de Grey family had been settled in Norfolk since the 14th century. He was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, was called to the Bar, Middle Temple, in 1742, and became a King\'s Counsel in 1758. Between 1761 and 1763 he was Solicitor General to Queen Charlotte.
de Grey entered Parliament for Newport, Cornwall, in 1761, a seat he held until 1770, and then represented Cambridge University from 1770 to 1771, and held office under George Grenville and Lord Rockingham as Solicitor-General between 1763 and 1766 and under William Pitt the Elder, the Duke of Grafton and Lord North as Attorney-General between 1766 and 1771. He failed to secure the conviction of Henry Sampson Woodfall for the publication of one of the Letters of Junius, which was deemed by the Crown to be a seditious libel; the jury thought otherwise and Lord Mansfield declared a mistrial.
In 1771 de Grey was appointed Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, a post he held until 1780, when he was forced to resign due to ill health. He had been knighted in 1766 and on his retirement in 1780 he was raised to the peerage as **Baron Walsingham**, of Walsingham in the County of Norfolk.
Lord Walsingham married Mary, daughter of William Cowper, in 1743. They had one son and a daughter. He died in May 1781, aged 61, and was succeeded in the barony by his only son Thomas. Lady Walsingham died in 1800.

# Rise the Euphrates
***Rise the Euphrates*** is a 1994 novel by American writer Carol Edgarian. It concerns three generations of Armenian American women living in Memorial, Connecticut during the twentieth century. Rather than focus on a central character, the book contains the story of three generations: the grandmother Casard, her daughter Araxie, and granddaughter, Seta. The struggles faced by each woman show the enduring effects of the Armenian genocide which occurred in 1915 at the hands of the Young Turks. A major theme in both Edgarian\'s work and Armenian-American literature is the ability to reconcile the genocide, lost identity, and displacement of the past to life in present-day America. In *Rise the Euphrates*, this reconciliation is symbolized in the recovering of Casard\'s lost name, Garod.
## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
*Rise the Euphrates* begins with Casard\'s story. At the time of the genocide, Casard is ten and still goes by her original Armenian name Garod. In Armenian, "Garod" means yearning which is what Casard does the rest of her life: yearn for an Armenia which no longer exists. Casard\'s mother\'s name is Seta, the same name given to Casard\'s granddaughter.
The Turks invaded Garod\'s town of Harput, murdering the men and raping many women and girls. Among those to escape rape and death, Garod and her mother Seta are driven out of town into the desert. After walking for two weeks without water or food, the caravan reaches the Euphrates River. The river lies in front of the caravan, and a band of murdering Turks emerges from behind, forcing a choice; death by drowning or death by Turkish sword. Seta takes Garod\'s hand and prepares to jump into the Euphrates. At the last second, Garod remains on the bank and watches her mother drown. Turning around, Garod sees the band of Turks departing. Garod then wanders in the desert for several days, forgetting her name in the process. Later, under the care of nuns, Garod is given the name Cafard, which is a French word meaning melancholy of the soul. She eventually emigrates to the United States. At Ellis Island, immigration officials hear her name as Casard. While at Ellis Island, Casard meets, and after an afternoon of courtship, marries her husband Vrej; another exiled Armenian. Casard and Vrej had one daughter, Araxie.
Araxie grows up and marries an odar, a non Armenian husband, named George Loon. George and Araxie have three children, Van, Seta, and Melanie. When Seta is born, Casard takes Seta into her arms and whispers her story of the genocide. Casard then tells Seta that her task is to recover Casard\'s forgotten name. Araxie was also given the task to find Casard\'s name. However, one generation removed from the genocide has left Araxie near Casard\'s pain to achieve the type of reconciliation Seta is capable of.
Seta\'s younger years are marked with the tensions occurring between her mother and grandmother. Casard dies unexpectedly when Seta is twelve from a fatal car crash. Similar to the Armenian genocide, the Loon family life after Casard\'s death is never the same once Casard is gone. The remainder of the book highlights Seta\'s growing up years. However, with Casard\'s passing, Seta\'s life becomes more American and less Armenian-American. Araxie finds herself without a final opportunity to reconcile with her mother and becomes depressed. Later she divorces George Loon. Without Casard, the family structure and its place in the Armenian- American community disintegrates. Despite this, Seta remembers Casard\'s hidden story and the desire that her lost name be recovered. This recovery is achieved through another Armenian-American girl, Theresa Van.
Several years later, Seta betrays Theresa with a lie in order to secure her own popularity. After this betrayal, the girls do not interact for several years. Shortly after Seta and Theresa turn 15, Theresa\'s mother dies. A few weeks after her mother\'s death, Theresa is abducted and severely beaten by a well known member of the town. While Theresa is recuperating, Seta brings offerings of sorts to Theresa\'s house. Her interaction with Theresa and the offerings she brings draw Seta back into the Armenian community. At the end of the book, Seta and Theresa play the duduk together.
That night after playing the duduk with Theresa, and wholly embracing her Armenian heritage, Seta dreams of the women who were at the Euphrates River the day Casard forgot her name. The women tell the story of what Casard was only able to verbalize as "the indignities". When she wakes up from her dream, Seta has recovered Casard\'s name, Garod, which she then relays to Araxie.

## Major themes {#major_themes}
### Matrilineal approach {#matrilineal_approach}
In *Rise the Euphrates*, the main characters are all women. Seta discovers her Armenian heritage by interacting with her mother and grandmother. In other words, the book is concerned with a matrilineal approach. Commonly found in Armenian-American literature is what is known as a patrilineal approach. This means the main characters are typically male. The characters discover their Armenian heritage through interactions with fathers and grandfathers rather than mothers and grandmothers. Common to the patrilineal approach is the idea of discovering the Armenian homeland. In the matrilineal approach, discovering identity is highlighted. Each of these, discovering the Armenian homeland and discovering sources of identity, are ways to reconcile- comes to terms with -- the Armenian Genocide.
### Oral storytelling {#oral_storytelling}
For hundreds of years in Armenia, Armenians maintained their sense of identity through the Armenian language and the Armenian Apostolic Church. In the United States this did not change. For Armenians living in the United States, much of Armenian culture is still kept alive through language and religion. Because of the importance of language to the culture, stories and oral story telling are very important. In *Rise the Euphrates*, the stories themselves are an integral part of the book. The emphasis in the book is on Casard\'s story; however, through the other stories Edgarian includes, the reader will further understand Armenian culture and the tradition of storytelling.
### Betrayal myth {#betrayal_myth}
A central myth in Carol Edgarian\'s *Rise the Euphrates* is the betrayal myth. Edgarian names several betrayal myths in her book, among them, the biblical stories of Cain and Abel, and Judas and Christ.

# German Spaniel
The **German Spaniel**, also known as the **Deutscher Wachtelhund** (German Quail Dog), is a breed of dog that was developed in Germany around 1890, and is used as a hunting dog. Descended from the old German breed, the Stöberer (lit. \"rummager\"), which became popular with commoners following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, who required a versatile hunting dog. Stoeberer is now a type of hunting dog in Germany with the Wachtelhund being its sole member. The breed is not very well known outside of Germany, but was recognised by the United Kennel Club in 1996.
A well built breed, its coat comes in brown shades with occasional white markings. It can be trained to retrieve game, as well as for tracking. It is related to the Small Münsterländer (″Heidewachtel″) and the Drentse Patrijshond, all of which are descendants from the quail dog that at least date back to the 15th century.
## History
thumb\|left\|A German Spaniel photographed in 1915. Frederick Roberth, a German dog breeder, is credited with creating the modern Deutscher Wachtelhund around 1890. While several breeds feature in its makeup, the most prominent dog breed to be bred into the modern breed is the now extinct Stoeberer. The Stoeberer has been mentioned in literature as far back as 1719, and was thought to have a nose as powerful as a Bloodhound. Following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, the common man in the German states was allowed to hunt and needed a versatile hunting dog; that dog was the Stoeberer. In the late 19th century, when Roberth was working on his new breed, he found specimens of the Stoeberer in Bavaria, and those dogs were crossed with water dogs and sporting spaniels to become the modern German Spaniel.
In 1903, the Deutscher Wachtelhund was recognised as a breed and, following that, the German breed club, the Verein für Deutsche Wachtelhund (VDW), was organised. The term Stoeberer has since become a category of hunting dog in Germany, with the Wachtelhund being the sole member of that category. In 1910, the VDW selected four male dogs and seven female dogs upon which to base the breed standard for the Wachtelhund. Those dogs were selected from all over Germany, one coming from each region, with two coming from Hannover. All of the modern registered German Spaniels today are descended from those eleven dogs. thumb\|right\|A modern German Spaniel John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain owned a German Spaniel named Pincher, thought to be his favourite dog, which was painted by Edwin Henry Landseer. The dog originally belonged to his son William Henry, but became his constant companion. Lord Eldon would write of Pincher\'s behaviour in correspondence, for example to Lady F. J. Bankes in December 1831: \"When I got to Southampton, Pincher, who sends his kindest regards, marched up to the bed-room, in which I slept the last two times I was there. The chambermaid provided another room for me, the house being full of company, there being a ball at Southampton. Pincher was uneasy at this, and out of humour, and if he could speak, he would not have allowed it.\" Following Lord Eldon\' death, a sum was left to his daughter, Lady Frances, specifically to pay for the care of the dog.
Not usually kept as pets, the dogs are often owned by German foresters and professional hunters. In the 1960s and 70s, several German Spaniels were imported into the United States, and descendants of those dogs are now used in Canada to track down and flush out American black bear. A further pair of dogs was brought to the United States in 1994, and the United Kennel Club recognised the breed in 1996, placing it in the Gun dog group.

# Dizengoff Street
**Dizengoff Street** (*רחוב דיזנגוף*, *Rehov Dizengoff*) is a major street in central Tel Aviv, named after Tel Aviv\'s first mayor, Meir Dizengoff.
The street runs from the corner of Ibn Gabirol Street in its southernmost point to the port area of Tel Aviv in its northwestern point. Dizengoff Street is one of the most important streets in Tel Aviv, and has played an essential role in the development of the city. Since the 1970s, Dizengoff Street has suffered urban decay.
## History
In the street\'s heyday, it was described as the \"Champs-Élysées of Tel Aviv\". In Hebrew slang, a new word was coined based on the iconic status of this street: \"l\'hizdangef\" (*להזדנגף*), literally \"to Dizengoff oneself, ie., to stroll down Dizengoff.\" Since the 1970s, Dizengoff Street has suffered urban decay. The advent of the shopping mall, Dizengoff Center is cited as a principal reason for the decline, along with changes in the configuration of Dizengoff Square.
The stretch of Dizengoff Street northward to Dizengoff Square was once very upscale but has since declined. North of Dizengoff Square, the street still has better and more upscale shops, filled with designer name stores, especially towards Basel Street. The street is still full of coffee shops and clothes stores, in addition to a large number of bridal clothing stores. Towards the southern end of the street is the landmark Dizengoff Square and Dizengoff Center shopping mall.
A Hamas suicide bus bombing killed 23 people on 19 October 1994. An Islamist mass shooting killed three people on 1 January 2016. On 7 April 2022, three people were killed in another shooting. On 9 March 2023, three people were shot by a Hamas gunman.
## In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}
The film *Dizengoff 99* (1979), which has become an Israeli cult classic, describes the way of life around the street and how it changed over the years
