Lord Linlithgow(1887-1952), KG(Order of the Garter), KT(Order of the Thistle), GCSI(Order of the Star of India), GCIE(Order of the Indian Empire), OBE(Order of the British Empire), TD(Territorial Decoration), PC(Privy Council), FRSE(Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh) was a British politician, agriculturalist, officer and a colonial administrator.
At the young age of 25, he was honored to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
He was the chairman of the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee on Indian constitutional reform, which aimed to bring about changes in India’s constitution from Apr 1933 to Nov 1934.
Lord Linlithgow was appointed as the Viceroy of India, succeeding Lord Willingdon and taking on an important role in British colonial rule in Apr 1936.
When Lord Linlithgow arrived in India, he implemented the plans of local self government that are stated in the Government of India Act,1935.
Provincial elections were held in British India during the winter of 1936-37, as mandated by the Government of India Act of 1935. Madras, Central Provinces, Bihar, Orissa, United Provinces and Bombay Presidency all participated in these provincial elections.
Princely states did not participate in the elections because the idea of federation of India did not come to fruition.
The elections were overwhelmingly won by Congress, with a majority of the votes going to their candidates.
In May 1939, Subhas Chandra Bose founded the Forward Bloc political party after resigning as President of the Congress.

hello everyone!
welcome to the first post from kate’s homeground, a kate bush fan page. my goal for this page is to start up a space where KB fans, new and longtime, can come together to admire and discuss kate’s incredible work.
I intend to not be like any other kate page. being a huge fan myself, I want to share rarities and interesting things I find around the internet about kate. I want to make friends here and hopefully help others feel more involved within the KB fan group. With kate gaining many new fans, I want to bring us all together again.
See you around! Thanks for being here.

Richard Attenborough (1923–2014) Physique: Average Build Height: 5' 6½" (1.69 m)
Richard Samuel Attenborough, Baron Attenborough Kt CBE FRSA was an English actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. He was the president of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, as well as the life president of Chelsea FC. He won two Academy Awards for Gandhi in 1983: Best Picture and Best Director. Attenborough also won four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and the 1983 BAFTA Fellowship for lifetime achievement. As an actor, he is best remembered for his roles in Brighton Rock, I'm All Right Jack, The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles, Doctor Dolittle, 10 Rillington Place, Jurassic Park and Miracle on 34th Street. Attenborough died at the age of 90, five days before his 91st birthday.
Attenborough had been around for years and he has always been rather cute in that British way, but over the last 10 to 15 years, he had develop his warm, fuckable grandfatherly persona. The first film that I remember him in was Jurassic Park, I really didn't notice him because... dinosaurs. Anyway, after two dozen or so of re-watching Jurassic Park over the years, that I started finding him fuckable.

oh my god i just stumbled across this 2008 interview in Transformative Works & Cultures with three women academic friends who formed a collective called the “Audre Lorde of the Rings.” I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!
some of my favorite passages from the interview:
KT: [...] We spend a lot of our time playing with words and ideas to work out, simultaneously, the affinities and frustrations produced by these shared colonial legacies. In terms of what ALOTR itself actually refers to in its ideal sense—we were all especially frustrated about a bad professional encounter, and a particularly antifeminist one, and we channeled that anger into a conversation about old-school women-of-color feminism and about the lack of appreciation for collective endeavors in this profession. That immediately brought us to a mad-respect chatfest about Audre Lorde, then to The Lord of the Rings and to the concept of a motley fellowship, of our motley crew (which included more than the three of us).
As this idea of the ALOTR kept resurfacing in our conversations, we got to thinking about what the fellowship means, about what hobbitry means, and about how we all carry hobbitry in our hearts. The entire Fellowship of the Ring ultimately carries hobbitry in their hearts, regardless of their individual origins (as dwarf, elf, man, etc.). Hobbits are a simple lot who are pure of heart, and who love drink, food, and playing barefoot. But they also bear the tremendous burden of transporting the Ring and resisting its allure of power for the sake of power. What they don't have in physical strength or pulchritude they make up for with their tenacity in spirit and purity of heart.
And I think we identified with Frodo's temptations as well as his burdens, understanding also how significant friendship is, first and foremost, during such arduous endeavors. We understand how easy it is (especially in the academy) to be tempted by the dark powers of the Ring—by the allure of power itself. But we hope and aspire constantly to thwart those darker elements: the covetousness, the useless skirmishes for control, the selfishness. Friendship, fellowship, mutual encouragement, are what make us happier as well as stronger doing what we do.
***
KT: In some way, we were accomplishing some of our best, most "real" work during downtimes at conferences when we weren't presenting (or in the presence of) more ostensibly "polished" academic presentations, and instead having conversations about pop culture and big ideas. I guess we wanted to capture that sense of whimsy as well as naughtiness. Overall, I think we wanted a venue to get these ideas off our chests, or at least to try and figure out a space for our writing that would capture some of our more oblique, popular inspirations. And to acknowledge that these "oblique" forms are central to our intellectual process––not simply props or objects for the typical displays of mastery, ownership, and wankery in the academy and beyond.
ATV: For me, O!I is a place where we're able to put a few things to words. It's that experience of listening to the same song over and over again, except that it happens outside of headphones and in good company. It's about working through a few questions that we wish would get asked of us. It is also the kind of disciplinary mechanism that you might want and need for writing.
Alongside KT, I reiterate that O!I is an entity that sprung from finding family in the abjection of academia, rushed along by a few too many of its conferences. Its nascent rumblings could be traced to exchanging faces across the rooms of professional cocktail parties and to years of note-passing. I think it's worth noting that gravity first pulled our triumvirate together during the Experience Music Conference in 2005, an annual event that gathers journalists, academics, and performers together in Seattle. Being ladies in music scholarship is a very specific and difficult and discouraging and, of course, immensely pleasurable kind of experience. The interface between music and critics and criticism, and the snares to be found there, has been a formative site for the battle-scarred heart of O!I.
I think the kinds of challenges presented by EMP—namely, the procedures by which we had to take ourselves more seriously as music critics—provided the collective stuff behind our virtual reckoning. We had long been working through some fluster over ways of talking about music—the crazy-making kind that has certain folks making claims to and over things, and their fascinating ability to go unchallenged. The crazy-making was also due to our shared frustration over the lack of hospitality our work has found in certain venues—which is not only about being published in a book but also about being in the room. Together, we urgently needed a way to make productive use of all that frustration. O!I forces us to not spend energy on that anger, but to take said energy and do our own work.
***
Q: Would you call Oh! Industry a fan site? How do you conceptualize your and your project's relationship to fan cultures?
KT: I think in certain respects, O!I is a place for us to express some of our enthusiasms and fanaticisms. But I also think it serves as a venue for us to try other things out and on. To test-drive some of our passing fancies—songs of the moment, as well as of a lifetime. I have always been a believer and proponent in the critical labor of fandom. In fact, I've been teaching a course on "Fan Obsession, Imitation and Expertise" since graduate school, bringing together certain urtexts in philosophy and literature (Nietzsche on Wagner, Ruskin on Turner) and thinking about how these "boy" genealogies carry over into more contemporary incarnations while also being exploded or remade by queers/women/working/people of color. Our insistence on affect, deep engagement, investment in our objects (even if those affects are negative and off-putting), is also related to fandom. I always say I can't deal with works that refuse to feel it or somehow can't feel it. The object, especially the popular object, is not an end in and of itself.
***
Q: Your blog takes something of a defiant tone toward the academic 'verse. How do you understand O!I's relationship to your institutional day jobs? Do you think it could or should be recognized as part of your professional work? Would you like to see academia's view of popular culture and fandom change?
ATV: I think part of surviving and having a good time in the academy means that you have to let go of what is permissible in and to it—what it recognizes and what it finds recognizable. It is kind of liberating when you decide to just do your work, however out there you think it might be. Of course, there are material implications for doing so. Many women who have been doing their work (often when they do it brilliantly) have been denied promotion, a paycheck, a book deal. But to do otherwise—to not do one's work—is no way to live either. In terms of the writing itself, I don't think you would find much disparity between our popular and our academic voices. Some have had a hostile reaction to such blurring, but others have found some relief in it. It is such a tremendous honor when someone approaches us and speaks of finding a newfound sense of permissiveness by what we're trying to do.
**
KT: I agree with everything my sistahs say. Especially to any and all references to Ann Jillian and It's a Living. As I mentioned at the very beginning of our chat, O!I serves as a venue for some of our digressions. It also offers a kind of starter kit for each of us, I think. I know that I turn to writing pieces for O!I when I feel I really need to get something off my chest. To do something quickly. To express my interest and passion in something that it might take me longer to write about in a more "official" context.
More than anything, O!I offers a place for us to say whatever we want to without worrying about whether or not it will "count." It's tremendously freeing and a great cure for writer's block to have a place to work ideas out, even if they're only seeds of ideas. Sometimes the ideas on O!I even end up more polished or thoughtful than when I sit down to write more officially, with the burden of formality and making it count hanging over me.
All this said, doing a site like O!I also requires a lot of prep time and work. Time spent organizing the page, inviting guests, writing posts, etc. In that sense, I believe it should be recognized as part of our professional labor. And as for the latter part of the question, about academia's views toward pop culture and fandom, I can only say yes. I'd have to ramble on forever if I tried to explain why.

Why does God want us to always pray? It’s because it’s His intention to always answer our prayers. This should excite you to always pray; to take advantage of the privilege and opportunity of prayer, which, essentially, is a Spirit-to-spirit communication in divine fellowship. Sadly, what many know about prayer is asking God for things. They see prayer as an avenue to beg or “force” God to do something for them, as though He’s unwilling. But that’s not the purpose of prayer. God isn’t against us; so, when we pray, we’re not trying to convince Him to do something He’s not inclined to do. Rather, we’re siding with Him in bringing His will to pass. Furthermore, the Bible shows that there’re different kinds of prayer, with different rules governing each kind. Most Christians are acquainted with the prayer of faith. The prayer of faith is quick; it’s the kind of prayer you can pray on the go. But there’re lots of issues and challenges in this world that won’t go away by the prayer of faith. Such situations or issues require some passionate supplication for the desired change to take place. We read about this kind of prayer in James 5:16-18 (AMPC); it’s heartfelt and continued. You may say, “But prayer is prayer”; no, prayer isn’t just prayer. You can’t apply the rules for the prayer of faith for the prayer of intercession; it won’t work. It’s one of the reasons people don’t have answers to their prayers; they’re praying the wrong way about their situation. If, for example, any football player other than the team’s goalkeeper, within his own penalty area, deliberately handles the ball when in play, such a player will be penalized. The referee won’t overlook the infringement, because you can’t apply handball or basketball rules to football. Study the Word to know, and apply the right rules for the different kinds of prayers and you’ll surely have results. They’ll enrich your prayer life. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Jsxb7l-KT/?igshid=bauwlu8nz3fa

hello everyone!
I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to share my recent obsession with the kate bush fan podcast online. I’ve spent the last week listening to this constantly.
I’ve learned so much about kate and have just felt so connected to this. It’s definitely keeping me sane through covid related isolation and I recommend having a listen if you want to geek out over kate’s music with some hardcore fans.
they talk about everything from the hidden KT symbols on each album to a 3-part before the dawn special where they document the show (with sound clips!) and describe what it was like to see kate on opening night.
you’re able to check it out at katebushnews.com or on soundcloud by searching kate bush fan podcast.

Kate Bush | Before the dawn
I thought that I would start off my brand new tumblr blog by giving you all my review on one of my favourite albums of 2016. KT Fellowship (Kate Bush) Before the dawn album.
Tumblr media
Incase no one knows who Kate Bush is, she’s a singer, songwriter & producer from London, who has been in the industry since 1978 at the age of 17 & is still smashing it. Kate did shows back in 2014 & this album is a live recording from those shows, it did get filmed aswell but if it goes onto a DVD or not, we’ll have to wait & see or it might never happen. I never went to the show as I did have a bit of money issues but listening to this album it felt like I was front row at her show. Kate’s vocals sounded amazing, her voice has changed a lot since 1978 but that’s just purely with age, she’s just gotten older but that’s life, but you can still tell that it’s Kate singing. Kate’s band also sounded incredible, you can really feel the atmosphere from the crowd shouting & cheering Kate on, it gave me goosebumps as she hadn’t done live shows in over 30 years. Going through the setlist of the show/album I think it all moulds perfectly as act 1 is basically starting off with the hits such as Lily, Hounds of love, running up that hill, king of the mountain etc. Then act 2 goes into the ninth wave where it’s about a woman lost at sea, (the ninth wave concept is also featured in Kate’s Hounds of love album) then act 3 you have the sky of honey which is about a young painter (which is also featured in Kate’s 2005 album Aerial.) Kate also featured also encore songs too which were Among Angels from 50 words of snow album & cloudbusting from the Hounds of love album. 
I think overall it’s a brilliant album, if anyone went to the show then it would bring back great memories for you all seeing Kate performing & like me if you didn’t go you can imagine how the show would be & from what I heard from the audience it sounded incredible. So go & buy the album folks, it’s 100% worth the money.

Congratulations to Trish Doller!
Congratulations to Trish Doller, whose new novel IN A PERFECT WORLD just received a great review from Kirkus!
A white Catholic teen from Ohio spends her months in Cairo getting to know her gorgeous Egyptian driver while learning about social justice and international fellowship. When her mother gets the chance of a lifetime to open up a Doctors Without Borders-style eye clinic in Egypt, Caroline’s both nervous and excited. She ignores dire warnings from her beloved-but-“racist” grandmother, who’s convinced terrorists lurk around every corner. Cairo gains appeal when Caroline meets her driver, Adam, an aspiring chef who shows her a Cairo beyond stereotypes: not just pyramids, but churches, jerk chicken, and Egyptian reggae. At every opportunity Caroline muses on how Egypt resembles home: the call to prayer like church bells, Islam’s attitude about dating resembling her grandmother’s, the unmet promises of the Arab Spring compared to Ferguson. Adam and Caroline have much in common (they’ve both been sorted into Hufflepuff, for instance), but religion, class, and culture demand they stay apart. Caroline’s awareness of the imperialist undertones of her relationship with Adam doesn’t make her stop loving him, and they both struggle to do what’s right. There’s a place for unsubtle messaging about white Americans learning to see humanity in the Muslim world, and Caroline—with her likable tattooed father and her mouthwatering descriptions of food—is a pleasant vehicle for the lesson. Pair with Aisha Saeed’s Written in the Stars (2013) for an insider point of view of Islam.
IN A PERFECT WORLD comes out from Simon Pulse in May, but you can preorder a copy now on Amazon, B&N, the iBookstore, or from your favorite local indie.
And feel free to give Trish some love and follows on Twitter, Tumblr, or Instagram!
Congratulations to Trish Doller! was originally published on kt literary
