neg: The Leisure Hour The Leisure Hour was a British general-interest periodical of the Victorian era which ran weekly from 1852 to 1905 . It was the most successful of several popular magazines published by the Religious Tract Society , which produced Christian literature for a wide audience . Each issue mixed multiple genres of fiction and factual stories , historical and topical .   The magazine 's title referred to campaigns that had decreased work hours , giving workers extra leisure time . Until 1876 , it carried the subtitle `` A Family Journal of Instruction and Recreation '' ; after that , the subtitle changed to `` An illustrated magazine for home reading '' .   Each issue cost one penny and comprised 16 pages . The layout typically included approximately six long articles , formatted in two columns per page , and five or six illustrations . The articles were a mix , including biographies , poetry , essays , and fiction . Each issue usually started with a piece of serialised fiction .   The creation of the magazine was partly a response to non-religious popular magazines that the Religious Tract Society saw as delivering a `` pernicious '' morality to the working classes . The ethos of the magazine was guided by Sabbatarianism : the campaign to keep Sunday as a day of rest . It aimed to treat its diverse subjects `` in the light of Christian truth '' . Despite this , The Leisure Hour carried far fewer statements of Christian doctrine than the Society 's other publications . Compared to other popular magazines of the time , The Leisure Hour had a greater emphasis on fiction .   Two days before the magazine 's launch in 1852 , a warehouse fire destroyed the first batch of The Leisure Hour , so replacement copies had to be printed .   The magazine was edited by William Haig Miller until 1858 , James Macaulay from 1858 to 1895 , and William Stevens from 1895 to 1900 . Harold Copping was one of its illustrators . Authors were initially only credited by initials rather than by name , giving the writing a collective rather than individual authority , though naming of authors became more common from the 1870s onwards . In its jubilee issue , published in 1902 , the magazine identified 111 authors who had contributed .

neg: Joseph Pulitzer Joseph Pulitzer ( -LSB- ˈpʊlɪtsər -RSB- -LSB- ˈpulit͡sɛr -RSB- ; born József Pulitzer ; April 10 , 1847 -- October 29 , 1911 ) was a Hungarian-American newspaper publisher of the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the New York World . Pulitzer introduced the techniques of yellow journalism to the newspapers he acquired in the 1880s . He became a leading national figure in the Democratic Party and was elected congressman from New York . He crusaded against big business and corruption , and helped keep the Statue of Liberty in New York .   In the 1890s the fierce competition between his World and William Randolph Hearst 's New York Journal caused both to use yellow journalism for wider appeal ; it opened the way to mass-circulation newspapers that depended on advertising revenue and appealed to readers with multiple forms of news , entertainment and advertising .   Today , he is best known for the Pulitzer Prizes , which were established in 1917 by money he bequeathed to Columbia University to recognize artistic and journalistic achievements in the United States . The prizes are given annually to award achievements in American journalism and photography , as well as literature and history , poetry , music and drama .

neg: Tait's Edinburgh Magazine Tait 's Edinburgh Magazine was a monthly periodical founded in 1832 . It was an important venue for liberal political views , as well as contemporary cultural and literary developments , in early-to-mid-nineteenth century Britain .   The magazine was founded by William Tait ( 1792 -- 1864 ) , the son of a builder and an inheritor of a large fortune . Tait was an `` independent radical '' in politics ; he strongly favored the Whig party . 1832 was a time of great political ferment , with the first Reform Bill the dominant subject of discourse . Tait 's periodical was intended as a `` Radical riposte '' to `` the politically revanchist but culturally avant-garde Blackwood 's Edinburgh Magazine . '' Tait 's welcomed many new and unknown writers like Robert Nicoll , as well as established voices like James Henry Leigh Hunt , and figures of future fame like Harriet Martineau and John Stuart Mill .   From 1833 on , Tait 's Magazine was a regular venue for the essays of Thomas De Quincey . De Quincey 's series of biographical essays on the Lake Poets ( later collected as Recollections of the Lake Poets ) were featured in Tait 's between 1834 and 1840 . Tait published a range of other selections by De Quincey , including , somewhat surprisingly , `` A Tory 's Account of Toryism , Whiggism and Radicalism '' ( December 1835 , January 1836 ) . That article , however , was supplied with many sarcastic footnotes disagreeing with its points -- `` objecting foot-notes from the pen , presumably , of Tait himself . ''   In 1834 Tait 's Magazine was combined with Johnstone 's Edinburgh Magazine , a liberal periodical started two years earlier by husband and wife John Johnstone and Christian Isobel Johnstone . She was an early feminist who wrote extensively for Tait 's in the following years , becoming the magazine 's `` chief contributor and director '' under William Tait himself . Christian Johnstone was `` the first woman to serve as paid editor of a major Victorian periodical , '' to which she brought `` fresh life and popularity . '' In the same year Alexander Bailey Richmond took the magazine 's London agents to court , for reviewing a work calling Richmond a government spy : the defence was successful .   Christian Johnstone died in 1857 ; Tait 's Magazine ceased publication in 1861 .

neg: Grand Slam Cup The Grand Slam Cup was a tennis tournament held annually at the Olympiahalle in Munich in Germany from 1990 through 1999 . The event was organized by the International Tennis Federation ( ITF ) , which invited the best-performing players in the year 's Grand Slam events to compete in the Grand Slam Cup .   The tournament was created in 1990 and was played on indoor carpet courts . From 1990 to 1996 , it was held in December but was moved to the middle of autumn from 1997 to 1999 . From 1990 to 1997 the tournament was limited to male players . A women 's Cup was added in 1998 and was held simultaneously with the men 's Cup .   Throughout its existence , the Grand Slam Cup was famous for paying out the highest prize money of any tournament in tennis . The winner for the first three years of the Cup received US$ 2 million in prize money , which dipped to $ 1.625 million in 1993 , rose to $ 1.875 million in 1996 and back to $ 2 million in 1997 before falling to $ 1.3 million in 1998 . If the Cup was won by a player who had also won a Grand Slam event that year they received a bonus of $ 1 million . Prize money for the winner of the two women 's Cups was fixed at $ 800,000 .   The Cup was not recognized by the Association of Tennis Professionals ( ATP ) for the course of its run , and participants did not receive points in the ATP computer rankings nor have it credited as an official career title . Following the discontinuation of the Cup in 1999 , the ATP decided to give the event full recognition and added it to players ' lists of official titles .   A compromise between the ITF and the ATP was announced on December 9 , 1999 which merged the Cup with the ATP Tour World Championship , the ATP 's year-end tournament also held annually in Germany , giving birth to the ATP World Tour Finals , an official tour event .   A direct result of the merging of the two competitions can still be seen in the qualification rules for the ATP World Tour Finals , which included one notable difference from those of the ATP Tour World Championship . The Tour World Championship was meant to include the top eight players on the ATP computer rankings at the end of a season , even though this could mean the exclusion of a Grand Slam champion who had not been able to earn sufficient ranking points in the rest of the year . Present Finals rules ensure the participation of a Grand Slam champion who is unable to earn a top eight ranking at the end of the season and automatic qualification for the top seven players in the computer rankings . The eighth ranked player , however , qualifies only if all Grand Slam singles champions are among the top eight . Any Grand Slam event champion who is not in the top eight but is still in the top twenty is included to the detriment of the eighth ranked player . This situation occurred at the 2004 Tennis Masters Cup , where Andre Agassi , the 8th ranked player in the ATP Champions Race , was excluded from the event in favor of Gastón Gaudio , who had won that year 's French Open but was ranked 10th at the end of the year .   Pete Sampras was the most successful player at this event winning two titles out of three final appearances .

However , the album presents a very truncated version of the concerts he performed on this tour , which consisted of up to 24 songs . The album fails to note where the performances were recorded , although according to liner notes in a later Simon compilation , `` Duncan '' is from a London concert and `` American Tune '' was recorded in New York City .   Simon was joined by Urubamba and the Jessy Dixon Singers , although the individual members are not identified either on the recording or on the liner notes . In addition to `` Jesus Is the Answer '' , included on the album , Jessy Dixon also performed `` What Do They Call Him '' on tour , while Urubamba performed the instrumentals `` Kacharpari '' and `` Death in Santa Cruz '' .   The album was Simon 's first live release and showed him performing Simon & Garfunkel songs solo in concert for the first time . The variety of songs and richness of styles helped with the album 's appeal . Most notable was Simon 's fascination with gospel , something that materialized in the arrangements on many of the songs , taking distance from Simon 's classical folk early style .   Near the end of the album , an audience member calls out for Simon to `` say a few words . '' He replies : `` Say a few words ? Well , let 's hope that we continue to live . ''   The album was a moderate success . It reached # 33 in the U.S. and was eventually certified gold by the RIAA . However , it failed to chart at all in the UK . Further , two of the live performances were released as a single as part of the promotion for the album : the breakthrough Simon & Garfunkel `` The Sound of Silence '' as the A-side , along with Simon 's debut single `` Mother and Child Reunion '' on the B-side .

At first the label licensed new rap music from US production company Powerplay for the first compilation album ` Def Beats 1 ' but as an addition to the US material Harris produced an extra track , under his own ` Music of Life Productions ' recorded in London by the label 's A&R man Derek Boland . ` Rock the Beat ' by Derek B created a demand for British hip-hop and the demo tapes started to arrive , Music of Life signed the best artists instead of licensing more US material and Harris would produce many new songs featuring artists including M.C Duke , The Demon Boyz ( Million Dan ) , Thrashpack , Asher D and Daddy Freddy , CJ Macintosh & Einstein , She Rockers ( Betty Boo ) , Hijack and many more .   Many of these recordings broke ground and are still considered to be highly innovative , the first reggae/hip-hop combination ( Asher D & Daddy Freddy 's ` Ragamuffin Hip Hop ) and Derek B 's album would be licensed to US label ` Profile ' ( Run DMC ) , Hijack would be signed to Ice-T 's Rhyme syndicate label and many more . Music Week wrote that Music of Life was `` the most successful hip hop label in the UK right now '' , in 1988 .

Sister label ` Living Beat ' was launched in 1989 and would release many dance music , house and pop recordings with chart success including ` Supermarioland ' reaching No. 6 in the UK pop charts with Harris 's AKA ` Ambassadors of Funk ' in association with Nintendo , Samantha Fox 's Song for Europe entry ` Go for the Heart ' and was instrumental in helping Prince achieve his first UK No1 pop single ` The Most Beautiful Girl in the World ' .

neg: The Last Time I Saw Richard `` The Last Time I Saw Richard '' is a song by Joni Mitchell from her 1971 album Blue . It is the last track on the album .

According to Richard Flynn , as noted in the official Joni Mitchell website , biographer Karen O'Brien believes `` Joni revisits her brief marriage to Chuck Mitchell in this song . O'Brien even refers to the protagonist of the song as Richard/Chuck . Joni and Chuck ( who , unlike Joni , sang `` material ranging from simple ballads to Brecht theatre songs , '' according to Broadside Magazine ) lived in Detroit after their marriage in 1965 , until their break-up in 1967 , when Joni moved to New York City '' .

neg: Meet on the Ledge `` Meet on the Ledge '' was a song released in 1968 by the English folk rock and electric folk band Fairport Convention . It was their second single .   The song was taken from the album What We Did on Our Holidays . BBC Radio 2 's Sold On Song TOP 100 songs as voted for by Radio 2 listeners put their early song `` Meet On The Ledge '' at Number 17 . They had performed `` Meet on the Ledge '' on the 1969 launch of From the Roundhouse ( a short-lived BBC-TV youth and arts programme about the London `` underground scene '' ) . The song 's title comes from a large , low hanging tree limb on which Richard Thompson used to play as a child , and which he and his friends had dubbed `` The Ledge '' . Richard Thompson acknowledged that some people interpret `` the ledge '' as some sort of code for the afterlife and that it is popular at funerals . In an interview with Mojo magazine March 2011 Richard Thompson said : `` The hardest thing about being a 17-year-old songwriter is that you 're embarrassed - you 're never going to write a song saying , ` These are my feelings , I love you . ' So I was trying to find some semi-veiled language that conveyed something to somebody somehow but which did n't really say anything up front . It 's a slightly naïve song , a little obscure . I do n't even know what it means . '' Thompson added : `` I had to sing it at my own mother 's funeral . It was in her will . That 's about the hardest thing I 've ever done '' .   The song became Fairport Convention 's unofficial anthem . At their concerts and , particularly , at the ongoing Cropredy Festival , it is often performed as the last song and a signal to fans that there will be no more encores .   Thompson was somewhat uncertain of his own vocals at the time of the first recording . Instead Sandy Denny and Ian Matthews took the honours . Thompson re-recorded it on the album Small Town Romance ( a bonus track ) , but does not give it any special prominence in his repertoire . Fairport Convention re-recorded the song in 1987 , releasing it as a track on the album In Real Time : Live '87 and as a single to tie in with the band 's 20th anniversary . Of the latter release , band member Ric Sanders quipped at the time `` We 're going to release it every 20 years until it 's a hit '' . It was covered by Eleanor Shanley , Noel Murphy and the Continental Drifters . The title has been used for a compilation album by Fairport Convention and a book about them . On the 1972 compilation History of Fairport Convention it is the first track .

neg: Billy Budd Billy Budd , Sailor is the final novel by American writer Herman Melville , first published posthumously in London in 1924 as edited by Raymond M. Weaver , a professor at Columbia University . Other versions were later published . Melville had begun writing the original work in November 1888 , but left it unfinished at his death in 1891 . Acclaimed by British critics as a masterpiece when published in London , it quickly took its place as a classic literary work in the United States .   The novella was discovered in manuscript form in 1919 by Weaver , who was studying Melville 's papers as his first biographer . Melville 's widow had begun to edit the manuscript , but had not been able to decide her husband 's intentions at several key points or even to see his intended title . Poor transcription and misinterpretation of Melville 's notes marred the first published versions of the text . After several years of study , Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts , Jr. published what is now considered the best transcription and critical reading text in 1962 .   The novella was adapted as a stage play in 1951 and produced on Broadway , where it won the Donaldson Awards and Outer Critics Circle Awards for best play . Benjamin Britten adapted it as an opera by the same name , first performed in December 1951 .

neg: The Reivers The Reivers , published in 1962 , is the last novel by the American author William Faulkner . The bestselling novel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1963 . Faulkner previously won this award for his book A Fable , making him one of only three authors to be awarded it more than once . Unlike many of his earlier works , it is a straightforward narration and eschews the complicated literary techniques of his more well known works . It is a picaresque novel , and as such may seem uncharacteristically lighthearted given its subject matter . For these reasons , The Reivers is often ignored by Faulkner scholars or dismissed as a lesser work . He previously had referred to writing a `` Golden Book of Yoknapatawpha County '' with which he would finish his literary career . It is likely that The Reivers was meant to be this `` Golden Book '' . The Reivers was adapted into a 1969 film directed by Mark Rydell and starring Steve McQueen as Boon Hogganbeck .

neg: Tender Mercies Tender Mercies is a 1983 American drama film directed by Bruce Beresford .

Robert Duvall plays the role of Mac ; the supporting cast includes Tess Harper , Betty Buckley , Wilford Brimley , Ellen Barkin and Allan Hubbard .   Financed by EMI Films , Tender Mercies was shot largely in Waxahachie , Texas . The script was rejected by several American directors before the Australian Beresford accepted it . Duvall , who sang his own songs in the film , drove more than 600 mi throughout the state , tape recording local accents and playing in country music bands to prepare for the role . He and Beresford repeatedly clashed during production , at one point prompting the director to walk off the set and reportedly consider quitting the film .   The film encompasses several different themes , including the importance of love and family , the possibility of spiritual resurrection amid death , and the concept of redemption through Mac Sledge 's conversion to Christianity . Following poor test screening results , distributor Universal Pictures made little effort to publicize Tender Mercies , which Duvall attributed to the studio 's lack of understanding of country music .   The film was released on March 4 , 1983 , in a limited number of theaters . Although unsuccessful at the box office , it was critically acclaimed and earned five Academy Award nominations , including one for Best Picture .
