Too Many Tuna Sandwiches

While driving, Dexter is pulled over by Angela (Julia Jones), who shows him his obituary as Dexter Morgan. She forces him to drive to the station to explain everything. Dexter claims that Rita's and Debra's (Jennifer Carpenter) deaths impacted him and he couldn't live with that life in Miami, prompting him to attempt to kill himself by driving towards a hurricane. He claims surviving was a sign to start again, abandoning his old life and starting a new one. Angela calls him out on abandoning Harrison and failing to amend everything; she is also angry for finding that their relationship was built on a lie and breaks up with him. After Dexter leaves, Molly (Jamie Chung) enters her office, intending to question Kurt about his lies to find the truth. Angela warns her to stay away from him.

Dexter starts investigating who could've been the source of his past life. He finds Molly's podcast and listens to a session where she claims that the Bay Harbor Butcher (Dexter) wasn't James Doakes as some crimes were committed while he was on military service, deducing the killer remains at large. Dexter and Harrison attend therapy, where Harrison expresses frustration at his abandonment. Dexter is less cooperative in the therapy, giving vague hints about his life and even claiming his marriage to Rita "fell apart". The last part prompts Harrison to reveal that he knows his mother was killed and tells the therapist he feels abandoned at their very own session.

Seeking to know more about Angela's next move, Dexter meets with Logan (Alano Miller), claiming he wants advice on how to save his relationship. Logan admits he dated Molly, but has since broke up. He also states that Angela and Molly are working on something. This worries Dexter, who thinks they will go after him, unaware that they are actually investigating Kurt. At the same time, Harrison visits Audrey (Johnny Sequoyah) at her house. They both express frustration at their lives, which culminates in a kiss and having sex. The next morning, Angela finds them together in bed and angrily takes Harrison to Dexter.


Too Many Tuna Sandwiches

Wanting to find out more about their investigation, Dexter plants his phone as a bug at the bar and records a meeting between Kurt and Molly. Kurt states he lied to the police to protect Matt from authorities and is willing to take her to interview him. Dexter follows them to the bunker and prevents Kurt from getting Molly inside it. He enters and finds that the door can't be opened from within and finds the camera in the room. Dexter drives Molly back to town, angering Kurt as he foiled his plan.

Angela and Teddy (David Magidoff) inspect a cave with a possible lead. They find a man-made hole and Angela enters. She finds many rocks and after moving them, finds a corpse. The corpse is that of Iris, her childhood friend who went missing. Dexter attends Harrison's wrestling match, noting Kurt is in attendance as a coach's aide. Harrison beats his opponent but even after winning, he breaks the opponent's arm. A stunned Dexter then gets into the arena to confront Kurt about motivating Harrison's actions. He attempts to talk with Harrison, wondering if Kurt told him to hurt the opponent. Dexter then receives a call from Angela, who got out of the cave. She says she doesn't need Jim, she needs Dexter Morgan.

Critical reviews

"Too Many Tuna Sandwiches" received positive reviews from critics. Matt Fowler of IGN gave the episode a "good" 7 out of 10 and wrote in his verdict, "Dexter: New Blood keeps delaying the important Dexter/Harrison truth bomb, for reasons that are still unclear, but fortunately 'Too Many Tuna Sandwiches' had other things going for it, regarding Kurt and his years of killing, to craft a capable and clever episode. A ton of secrets are spilling all over the place -- from Dexter's old life to Kurt's penchant for remote cabin murders -- and hopefully that means an even bigger reveal is on the way."

Joshua Alston of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "C+" grade and wrote, "The uneasy triangulation between Harrison and his two dads is the most interesting thing happening in New Blood, which continues to venture off into wan subplots that have yet to pay off. Harrison is becoming more violent and unpredictable by the episode, and Dexter's hands-off approach to psychopath parenting isn't quite doing the trick."


Too Many Tuna Sandwiches

Kelly McClure of Vulture gave the episode a 3 star out of 5 rating and wrote, "If you were to attempt to pick a general theme for last week's episode, it would probably land somewhere within the vicinity of 'the simplest solution is often the solution.' This week's is more along the lines of 'nature vs. nurture.' If you're not familiar, the basic concept of nature vs. nurture is whether or not a person's behavior is molded by the events of their life and the actions of those around them, or more so from genetics and inherited traits. In episode six, 'Too Many Tuna Sandwiches,' this comes up in a family therapy session with Dexter/Jim and Harrison. When watching how they go about their unique blend of Morgan problem solving throughout the course of a day, it's genuinely hard to determine which of the two, nature vs. nurture, has the biggest responsibility for them both being huge psychos."Den of Geek gave the episode a 3.5 star out of 5 rating and wrote, "Typically, when prestige dramas focus on their teenage characters, things go awry, but there are so many interesting wrinkles to Dexter facing the same conundrums that Harry had to face raising him. Prior to New Blood airing, I wondered if the series would be able to justify its existence beyond just being IP extension for ratings sake. On that therapy couch and in the hallway after Harrison's wrestling match, New Blood justified itself to me."TV Fanatic gave the episode a perfect 5 star out of 5 rating and wrote, "The beauty of this episode was that no time felt wasted, but there was plenty of room for every character to shine with some fun, heartfelt, and terrifying scenes. It's amazing what can fit in an hour."

Iberodon

Iberodon is a small, extinct mammal of the Lower Cretaceous from Portugal. It was a member of the also extinct order Multituberculata, and led its obscure and plant-eating existence in the company of dinosaurs. It lies within the suborder "Plagiaulacida" and family Pinheirodontidae.

The genus Iberodon was named by Hahn G. and Hahn R. in 1999 based on a single species. The species, known as Iberodon quadrituberculatus, is known from teeth found in Berriasian (Lower Cretaceous)-age strata of Portugal.

Philip Francis Johnson

Philip Francis Johnson, usually known as P. F. Johnson (1835 – 3 November 1926) was an Irish nationalist political labour activist and Kanturk hotel proprietor. Born at Mallow, County Cork, he co-founded in 1869 the Kanturk Labourers’ Club, where he was lifelong committed to the well-being of labourers in the Munster region. He had close Fenian connections and was active in the Land League. Although an anti-Parnellite he supported the Irish National League with a branch in Kanturk.

Early years

Johnson was well educated and widely travelled, as a youth he spent eight years in India, visiting the South Sea Islands. When he returned to Ireland in the late 1850s he worked as a commercial agent and stationmaster. He married Teresa Rourke in September 1857 and they had two daughters. He became proprietor in 1860 of the substantial Egmont Hotel in Kanturk through renting it from the estate of the Earl of Egmont.

Johnson played a prominent role from 1869 in the Amnesty Association established by Isaac Butt, campaigning for the release of Fenian prisoners. The association organised its first open-air rallies in Mallow and Skibbereen where Johnson displayed his fierce gift of oratory. He also addressed further pro-Fenian meetings, which included a commemoration at Kilclooney Wood, the site of the death of Peter O’Neill Crawley. He contributed letters to the weekly pro-Fenian The Irishman, as well as to the Cork Examiner, publicly advocating a republican form of government, but his exact relationship to the Irish Republican Brotherhood are unclear, often denying he was a sworn Fenian member.

Political engagement

When Isaac Butt founded the Home Government Association in 1870, Johnson was active in its formation and campaigned for it in several elections always opposing the Gladstonian candidates. In October 1872 he, together with Butt and John Nolan, leader of the Amnesty Association, went on a speaking tour of Britain.

Johnson first turned to the concerns of labourers in 1869 when he co-founded in September the Kanturk Labourers’ Club, becoming its secretary in January 1870. It was the first body of its kind in the country which attempted to represent agricultural labourers. The club had several hundred members and attracted thousands to its rallies. It recruited its supporters largely from Fenian sympathisers.


Philip Francis Johnson

Focused on calling for improvements to Gladstone’s first Irish Land Act 1870, the club demanded that its legislation needed to incorporate provisions for housing and small holdings to be made available to labourers at a ‘fair rent’. On the other hand the club discouraged conflict with tenant farmers over wage rates. Johnson attempted to organise clubs elsewhere in the country, with only limited success. This largely due to the labourers’ situation, although extremely discontent, they were widely dispersed and had irregular seasonal work patterns. Their dwindling numbers due to emigration and their limited vision made them difficult to organise. As a result labourers’ organisations tended to be organised by agrarian activists and radicals such as Johnson, who were themselves not labourers.

Labourers’ union

Together with Butt’s Home Government Association, Johnson operated the club from 1871 as affiliated to it, but his more genuine commitment to the labourers’ cause and his belief that British radicals were natural allies of Irish republicans had him establish contact to the newly evolving National Agricultural Labourers Union (NALU) in Britain. A few of their activists came to Ireland to support him. At a meeting at Johnson’s hotel in August 1873 attended by Butt and P. J. Smyth and some NALU representatives, the Irish Agricultural Labourers Union (IALU) was founded.

Despite some initial successes in Munster and Leinster, the home rule MPs though nominally its leaders, showed little interest in its activities so that by 1875 the IALU had faded away. Other reasons for this were that the IALU activities aroused conservative and clerical suspicion due to its nationalism and Fenian connection and the rhetoric of some of its speakers. This in turn led to a breakdown of relations with the NALU. Johnson began to suffer health problems after an accident and turned to advocating emigration to Canada, setting up an emigration business in his hotel.

Labour league activist

During the Land War of the early 1880s Johnson was symbolically nominated to the founding executive of the Land League and was a leading activist in north Cork and the surrounding counties. When from December 1880 landlords attempted to encourage divisions between farmers and labourers, Johnson reactivated labourers’ organisations as a countermeasure to these attempts.


Philip Francis Johnson

He then took a leading role in establishing a Munster Labour League at a conference in Limerick in May 1881. The league functioned as a pressure group within the Land League movement and campaigned for more attention to be given to the demands of labourers as well as betterment for small tenant farmers. It also acted as an umbrella, uniting the many local ‘labourer leagues’ which had sprung up spontaneously as a reaction to the agricultural crisis.

Many supporters advocated that he be returned to parliament, but it never came about, though the police regarded him as a candidate for arrest, which also didn’t happen. From mid 1882 Johnson recognised that the national directory was neglecting the labourers’ needs and reducing their organisations to being mere subservient off-shoots of the Irish National League. He justifiably scaled back his political involvement and was never again prominent on a national level.

Later years

Johnson bought his hotel and six acres of adjoining land in the 1890s and stayed in business in Kanturk until 1917. He remained an outspoken anti-Parnellite, though in the years prior to the first world war he nevertheless supported the local Redmonite faction against the All-for-Ireland League founded by his fellow townsman William O'Brien which was backed by the Kanturk founder of a newer labourers’ association, D. D. Sheehan.

It can be said of Johnson that he took a formative role in the creation of a form of ‘labour-nationalism’ centred in Munster committed to the well-being of the landless labourers, although he was primarily a believer in a cross class nationalist alliance rather than a trade unionist in the latter day sense of the word. His engagement played a notable, if sub-ordinate, part in nationalist politics throughout the home rule movement and had also some influence on the post-independence Labour Party.

After selling his hotel in 1917 he retired to live with his grandchildren in Clifden, County Galway, where he died 3 November 1926.

Jean-Étienne Waddens

Jean-Étienne Waddens (also Vuadens, Wadin) was born in 1738 to Adam Samuel Waddens (Vaudin) and Bernardine Ermon. He was killed during an argument with Peter Pond in 1782 at Lac La Ronge.

Jean-Étienne Waddens remained in Switzerland until at least 1755, however by 1757, he was serving in the colonial regular troops of New France. In May of that year, he renounced Calvinism. He remained in the Montreal area after the city's surrender in 1760.

Jean-Etienne Waddens married Marie Josephe De Guire on November 23, 1761, in St Laurent near Montreal.marriage "à la façon du pays" (in the style of the country), Marguerite Waddens married Alexander MacKay, a prominent fur trader.Tonquin, Marguerite married John McLoughlin, who is best known for serving as Chief Factor and Superintendent of the Columbia District of the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Vancouver from 1824 to 1845.


Jean-Étienne Waddens

Waddens first appeared in fur-trading records as a small independent trader. Beginning in 1772, he was at Grand Portage with eight traders of his traders, who he accompanied. In 1773, he had a licence for two canoes, and an outfit valued at £750, a considerable amount. Between 1773 and 1778, he moved from Lake Winnipeg to the Saskatchewan valley; by 1779 he was on the southern edge of the Athabasca country. In 1779, to counter the idea that separate interests were the bane of the trade, firms trading in the far northwest, including Waddens' joined into one association, known as the “nine parties’ agreement,” a temporary combination usually regarded as the forerunner of the North West Company. At Lac La Rouge, he had a lucrative trade with “the Northward Indians” coming from Lake Athabasca. In late 1781, he was joined by Peter Pond, a man who too represented the company's interests. However, they were on bad terms. In March 1782, Waddens was fatally wounded in a fight, which has been described as murder. In 1783, Mrs Waddens requested Governor of Quebec, Frederick Haldimand to arrest Pond, submitting an affidavit of one of Waddens’ men. Pond was examined in 1785 but was not brought to trial, most likely because Lac La Ronge lay in the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, beyond the jurisdiction of the Province of Quebec.

Not much is known of Waddens’ character. Alexander Mackenzie's described him as a man of “strict probity and known sobriety”, however it is possibly a formal phrase. Yet, Waddens succeeded in moving up the social ladder from a private in 1757 to a member of the bourgeois of 1782, although not to the rank of the trader-capitalists, like James McGill.

Self-perception theory (SPT) is an account of attitude formation developed by psychologist Daryl Bem.emotional response is ambiguous) by observing their own behavior and concluding what attitudes must have caused it. The theory is counterintuitive in nature, as the conventional wisdom is that attitudes determine behaviors. Furthermore, the theory suggests that people induce attitudes without accessing internal cognition and mood states.

Bem's original experiment

In an attempt to decide if individuals induce their attitudes as observers without accessing their internal states, Bem used interpersonal simulations, in which an "observer-participant" is given a detailed description of one condition of a cognitive dissonance experiment. Subjects listened to a tape of a man enthusiastically describing a tedious peg-turning task.

Subjects were told that the man had been paid $20 for his testimonial and another group was told that he was paid $1. Those in the latter condition thought that the man must have enjoyed the task more than those in the $20 condition. The results obtained were similar to the original Festinger–Carlsmith experiment. Because the observers, who did not have access to the actors' internal cognition and mood states, were able to infer the true attitude of the actors, it is possible that the actors themselves also arrive at their attitudes by observing their own behavior. Specifically, Bem notes how "the attitude statements which comprise the major dependent variables in dissonance experiments may be regarded as interpersonal judgments in which the observer and the observed happen to be the same individual."

Further evidence


Self-perception theory

Further evidence

There are numerous studies conducted by psychologists that support the self-perception theory, demonstrating that emotions do follow behaviors. For example, it is found that corresponding emotions (including liking, disliking, happiness, anger, etc.) were reported following from their overt behaviors, which had been manipulated by the experimenters.facial expressions, gazes, and postures. In the end of the experiment, subjects inferred and reported their affections and attitudes from their practiced behaviors despite the fact that they were told previously to act that way. These findings are consistent with the James–Lange theory of emotion.

In 1974, James Laird conducted two experiments on how changes in facial expression can trigger changes in emotion.

In 2006, Tiffany Ito and her colleagues conducted two studies to investigate if changes in facial expression can trigger changes in racial bias.Implicit Association Test (IAT)."black males showed less implicit prejudice than those made to smile at pictures of white males.

Chaiken and Baldwin's 1981 study on self-perception theory dealt with environmental attitudes.environmentalist or conservationist. Participants then completed one of two versions of a questionnaire designed to bring to mind either past pro-ecology behaviors or past anti-ecology behaviors.

Evidence for the self-perception theory has also been seen in real life situations. After teenagers participated in repeated and sustained volunteering services, their attitudes were demonstrated to have shifted to be more caring and considerate towards others.

Recent research

Research incorporating self-perception theory has continued in recent years, appearing in conjunction with studies dealing with motivational "crowding out," terrorism, mindwandering, and the inclusion of others in the self.

Guadagno and her fellow experimenters did a study in 2010 addressing the recruitment of new members by terrorist organization via the internet.extreme ideologies (primarily through simple requests gradually increasing to larger commitments–an example of the foot-in-the-door technique), the authors looked at how "the new converts may form increasingly radical attitudes to be consistent with their increasingly radical behavior."social influence in this scenario.

Also in 2010, Clayton Critcher and Thomas Gilovich performed four studies to test a connection between self-perception theory and mindwandering.


Self-perception theory

Similarly, Goldstein and Cialdini published work related to self-perception theory in 2007.self-concepts, leading participants to then change their own behaviors.self-expansion model: close relationships can lead to an inclusion of another person in an individual's sense of self.

Applications

One useful application of the self-perception theory is in changing attitude, both therapeutically and in terms of persuasion.

Psychological therapy

For therapies, self-perception theory holds a different view of psychological problems from the traditional perspectives. Traditionally, psychological problems come from the inner part of the clients. However, self-perception theory perspective suggests that people derive their inner feelings or abilities from their external behaviors.

One of the most famous therapies making use of this concept is therapy for "heterosocial anxiety".anxiety with females after several sessions of therapy in which they engaged in a 12-minute, purposefully biased dyadic social interactions with a separate females. From these apparently successful interactions, the males inferred that their heterosocial anxiety was reduced. This effect is shown to be quite long-lasting as the reduction in perceived heterosocial anxiety resulted in a significantly greater number of dates among subjects 6 months later.

Marketing and persuasion

Self-perception theory is also an underlying mechanism for the effectiveness of many marketing or persuasive techniques. One typical example is the foot-in-the-door technique, which is a widely used marketing technique for persuading target customers to buy products. The basic premise of this technique is that, once a person complies with a small request (e.g. filling in a short questionnaire), he/she will be more likely to comply with a more substantial request which is related to the original request (e.g. buying the related product).self-image, therefore giving reasons for agreeing with the subsequent, larger request. It is because people observe their own behaviors (paying attention to and complying with the initial request) and the context in which they behave (no obvious incentive to do so), and thus infer they must have a preference for those products.

Challenges and criticisms


Self-perception theory

Challenges and criticisms

Self-perception theory was initially proposed as an alternative to explain the experimental findings of the cognitive dissonance theory, and there were debates as to whether people experience attitude changes as an effort to reduce dissonance or as a result of self-perception processes. Based on the fact that the self-perception theory differs from the cognitive dissonance theory in that it does not hold that people experience a "negative drive state" called "dissonance" which they seek to relieve, the following experiment was carried out to compare the two theories under different conditions.

An early study on cognitive dissonance theory shows that people indeed experience arousal when their behavior is inconsistent with their previous attitude. Watermansocial facilitation, enhanced performance in simple tasks and worsened performance in difficult tasks shows that arousal is produced by people when their behavior is inconsistent with their attitude. Therefore, the cognitive dissonance theory is evident in this case.

Apparent disproof

Debate ensued over whether dissonance or self-perception was the valid mechanism behind attitude change. The chief difficulty lay in finding an experiment where the two flexible theories would make distinctly different predictions. Some prominent social psychologists such as Anthony Greenwald thought it would be impossible to distinguish between the two theories.

In 1974, Zanna and Cooper conducted an experiment in which individuals were made to write a counter-attitudinal essay.placebo; they were told the placebo would induce either tension, relaxation, or exert no effect. Under low choice, all participants exhibited no attitude change, which would be predicted by both cognitive dissonance theory and self-perception theory.

These results are not explainable by self-perception theory, as arousal should have nothing to do with the mechanism underlying attitude change. Cognitive dissonance theory, however, was readily able to explain these results: if the participants could attribute their state of unpleasant arousal to the placebo, they would not have to alter their attitude.

Thus, for a period of time, it seemed the debate between the self-perception theory and cognitive dissonance had ended.

Truce experiment

Fazio, Zanna, and Cooper conducted another experiment in 1977, demonstrating that both cognitive dissonance and self-perception could co-exist.


Self-perception theory

In an experimental design similar to Zanna and Cooper's 1974 study, another variable was manipulated: whether or not the stance of the counter-attitudinal essay fell in the latitude of acceptance or the latitude of rejection (see social judgment theory). It appeared that when the stance of the essay fell into the latitude of rejection, the results favoured cognitive dissonance. However, when the essay fell in the latitude of acceptance, the results favoured self-perception theory.

Whether cognitive dissonance or self-perception is a more useful theory is a topic of considerable controversy and a large body of literature. There are some circumstances in which a certain theory is preferred, but it is traditional to use the terminology of cognitive dissonance theory by default. The cognitive dissonance theory accounts for attitude changes when people's behaviors are inconsistent with their original attitudes which are clear and important to them; meanwhile, the self-perception theory is used when those original attitudes are relatively ambiguous and less important. Studies have shown that, in contrast to traditional belief, a large proportion of people's attitudes are weak and vague. Thus, the self-perception theory is significant in interpreting one's own attitudes, such as the assessment of one's own personality traits

According to G. Jademyr and Yojiyfus, the perception of different aspect in the interpreting theory can be due to many factors, such as circumstances regarding dissonance and controversy. This can also be because of balance theory as it applies to the attitude towards accountability and dimensions.

Ko-Ko Joe

Ko-Ko Joe is a song written and recorded by American country artist Jerry Reed. It was released in August 1971 as the lead single from the album of the same name, Ko-Ko Joe. The song reached peaks of number 11 on the U.S. country chart and number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the follow-up to his country chart number 1 hit, When You're Hot, You're Hot.

Content

The song, composed by Reed himself, begins with the description of a man living on the banks of the Etowah River, (as Reed calls it "cottonmouth country"). As the locals seem to tell it, he's a long-haired, dirty-clothed survivalist who drinks homemade brew and eats exotic meats. He is ostracized by these same locals who think of him as both a bum and 'crazy'. Reminiscent of the 'maligned' character's 'redemption' found in Hank Williams' 1953 song, "Be Careful of Stones That You Throw" (in that case a woman), the third verse tells us about the day (one year before the song's telling), when the dam on the river burst, washing away everything in its path. We learn from the headlines of that day about a mother who told of how Ko-Ko pulled her son from the flood waters, saving the boy's life. Reed leaves it ambiguous as to whether Ko-Ko survived.

The Problem with a Poo

"The Problem with a Poo" is the third episode of the twenty-second season of the American animated television series South Park. The 290th overall episode of the series, it aired on Comedy Central in the United States on October 10, 2018.

The episode explores modern political correctness and cancel cultureMr. Hankey, and Vice Principal Strong Woman and PC Principal deal with the fallout from their fling at the end of the previous season. These themes are also seen in the episode's references to the 2017 documentary The Problem with Apu, the cancellation of Roseanne after controversial tweets by the show's eponymous actress, and the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Plot

At a South Park City Council meeting, Mr. Hankey, a sentient piece of feces, and the director of the town's Christmas pageant, is told that the budget for his show has been cut in half. Despite the fact that many in town like him, he is told that many others are offended by him due to his scatological nature. After he takes his anger out on South Park Elementary's music students, both during class and with a series of politically incorrect tweets, the City Council fires him. Unable to find a lawyer to accept his case, he enlists Kyle Broflovski, since Kyle's father is a lawyer. At a public hearing, greater scrutiny is placed upon his history of offensive tweets, which he attempts to minimize as failed attempts at humor that he blames on his use of Ambien. He also argues that preparing for the upcoming Christmas show is more important than focusing on such indiscretions.


The Problem with a Poo

Vice Principal Strong Woman, pregnant following her fling with PC Principal in "Super Hard PCness" and "Splatty Tomato", tells PC Principal that their affair was a mistake, and that she wishes to break up with him. PC Principal, despite his concerns over whether this is possible, reluctantly agrees, and the two organize a school assembly on in vitro fertilization in order to stave off speculation that Strong Woman became pregnant through sex or any other questions over the father of her children. She gives birth to quintuplets who turn out to be highly politically correct (PC) and bear a strong resemblance to PC Principal, but she refuses to acknowledge that he is the children's father. PC Principal, not being able to stay away from his children, proposes that they tell others that he is the children's male nanny, or "manny".

Feeling that people have forgotten what the spirit of Christmas is about, Mr. Hankey enlists Kyle to help him put on a musical performance in the park, but when the show's politically incorrect humor offends PC Principal's and Strong Woman's PC babies, they begin crying. Their distress continues even after Mr. Hankey ceases his politically incorrect material, because it is explained to him that "sometimes PC babies don't know what they're crying about." Mr. Hankey angrily excoriates the townsfolk for this, and when Kyle tries to stop him, an altercation ensues that destroys their stage. South Park severs all ties with Mr. Hankey, ending the long Christmas association between him and the town. Mr. Hankey leaves town, in search of a place that still accepts objectionable, racist beings like him. He arrives in the fictional town of Springfield, the setting of the animated TV series The Simpsons, where the characters native to that show, in particular Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, welcome him with open arms. A title card is then shown that reads "#cancelthesimpsons", mocking cancel culture, and the "#cancelsouthpark" marketing to that was used to promote season 22.

Reception


The Problem with a Poo

Reception

Jesse Schedeen rated the episode 4.3 out of 10 in a review for IGN, offering the verdict, "This episode tries to have its cake and eat it too by attacking badly behaving celebrities and outrage culture at the same time, and it fails to accomplish either. The funny moments this week can't outweigh the jumbled, frustrating narrative."

John Hugar with The A.V. Club rated the episode a C, summarizing his review stating "'The Problem With A Poo' was a convoluted attempt to insert too many of-the-moment references into one half-hour without definitively saying anything about the possibility of redemption for once-beloved entertainers who engage in abusive behavior."

Jess Joho, writing for Mashable, saw the episode as a turning point for the series, and the references to The Problem with Apu and the #CancelSouthPark hashtag evidence of a deeper metafictional subtext than the series had previously exhibited, stating, "For the first time, South Park seems to be genuinely engaged with questioning its own place in the current cultural climate." Noting that the episode seemed intentionally vague as to what its views were on the Roseanne Barr, Brett Kavanaugh, and Simpsons issues, Joho felt that its takeaways were also more "measured, sincere, elusive, and bafflingly balanced" than had previously been the case. Joho also thought that the show's usually bitter take on such topics was not tempered with a greater modicum of seriousness, reason, and empathy, which Joho saw as an opportunity for "potential brilliance."

Mount Lyall (Quebec)

Mont Lyall is a mountain in Gaspésie National Park, in the unorganized territory of Mont-Albert, in the La Haute-Gaspésie Regional County Municipality, in the region of Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, in Quebec, in Canada. It is part of the Chic-Choc Mountains. Mont Lyall is located on an outcrop of land on the west shore of Lac Saint-Anne.

Mount Lyall agate mine

The Mont Lyall Agate Mine is located in Lemieux Township on the site of an ancient volcano that existed 350 million years ago. Valérien Côté was the discoverer-founder of this fine stone mine. He started his geological research in 1974. Between 1979 and 1981, there was deforestation of an area of 700 hectares (2¾ sq. mi.) to facilitate prospecting; many excavations were carried out by a D-8 bulldozer. The first significant indication of fine stones was discovered in 1981.

This mining park welcomes visitors alone, as a couple, as a family or in a group for a prospector experience of about 2 to 3 hours. The site has two open-air quarries full of geodes of various sizes. The activity consists of prospecting and collecting geodes. The cut stones expose cavities of crystals and minerals including agate, jasper, carnelian, quartz of different colors (amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, smoky, black), etc. The stone cutting service is offered on site.

Trail to the top

From the Mont Lyall parking lot, a marked path leads to the summit. This pedestrian ascent begins quite slowly in the forest area until the ridge line. Then, the slope becomes more accentuated at the halfway point and includes a large turn. At the top, there are several secondary tracks allowing to admire the panorama; all lead to a marked trail back.

Mountain skiing


Mount Lyall (Quebec)

Mountain skiing

In 1990, the installations began at Mont Lyall for the practice of mountain skiing thanks to the COOP Accès Chic-Chocs. Development work continued over the years thanks to the financial participation of several partners, in particular the MRC de La Haute-Gaspésie Regional County Municipality, the CLD de la Haute-Gaspésie, the government of Quebec, the FQME, Sépaq and Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC). The development of the developed ski area aims to improve the quality of the skiers' experience, in particular the development of new undergrowth, by building daily shelters, and to improve emergency plans and measures.

Skiers can climb the mountain by various climbs: the ascent of the Fortress, the ascent of the Trail (which is an area conducive to avalanches), the Lavoie route and l'Autre Montée.

Toponymy

The toponym "Mont Lyall" evokes the memory of T.O. Lyall, of the company "Lyall Construction" of Montreal. Mineral rights in the region had been granted to it around 1928.

Jean-Étienne-Marie Portalis

Jean-Étienne-Marie Portalis (1 April 1746 – 25 August 1807) was a French jurist and politician in the time of the French Revolution and the First Empire. His son, Joseph Marie Portalis, was a diplomat and statesman.

Biography

Early years

Portalis was born at Le Beausset, currently in the Var département of Provence, France to a bourgeois family, and was educated by the Oratorians at their schools in Toulon and Marseille, and then went to the University of Aix. As a student, he published his first two works, Observations sur Émile (on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile: Or, On Education) in 1763 and Des Préjugés in 1764.

In 1765 he became a lawyer at the parlement of Aix-en-Provence, and soon obtained so great a reputation that he was instructed by Étienne François de Choiseul in 1770 to draw up the decree authorizing the marriage of Protestants. From 1778 to 1781, Portalis was one of the four assessors or administrators of Provence.

Revolution

In November 1793, after the First French Republic had been proclaimed, he came to Paris and was thrown into prison for being the brother-in-law of Joseph Jérôme Siméon, the leader of the Federalists in Provence. He was soon released to a maison de santé, where he remained until the fall of Maximilien Robespierre during the Thermidorian Reaction.

On being released he practised as a lawyer in Paris, and, in 1795, he was elected by the capital to the Council of Ancients of the French Directory, becoming a leader of the moderate party opposed to the directory rule. As a leader of the moderates, he was targeted by the coup d'état of 18 Fructidor, but, unlike General Charles Pichegru and François Barbé-Marbois, he managed to escape to Switzerland, then to Holstein, and did not return until after Napoleon Bonaparte established himself as the leader of the new Consulate.

Under Napoleon


Jean-Étienne-Marie Portalis

Under Napoleon

Bonaparte made him a conseiller d'état in 1800, and then charged him, with François Denis Tronchet, Félix-Julien-Jean Bigot de Préameneu, and Jacques de Maleville, to draw up the Code Civil. Of this commission he was the most notable member, and many of the most important titles, notably those on marriage and heirship, are his work. He gave a famous speech, "Discours préliminaire au projet de code civil" in which he presented the core principles of the civil code: legal certainty (non-retroactivity), the notion of "ordre public" and the forbidding of the "arrêt de règlement" which was a characteristic production of the Ancien Régime's judges and was contrary to the idea that only the law prevails.

In 1801 he was placed in charge of the Department of Religion or Public Worship, and in that capacity had the chief share in drawing up the provisions of the Concordat of 1801. In 1803 he became a member of the Académie française, in 1804 Minister of Public Worship, and in 1805 a Chevalier Grand-Croix de la Légion d'honneur. He soon after became totally blind, and, after an operation, he died at Paris.

Self-portrait (Rembrandt, Indianapolis)

This 1629 self-portrait by Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn is part of the Clowes Fund Collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is among the earliest of over 40 self-portraits by Rembrandt (possibly the first), which he produced over the course of four decades.

Description

This is a portrait of studied spontaneity. His parted lips, tilted head, and leaning posture all evoke a moment of surprise and sudden animation, crafting a more dramatic encounter with the viewer. He wears what can best be described as a costume, culled from his collection of studio attire. This includes a scarf, a cap pulled low to give Rembrandt a dramatic shadow over his brow, and a steel gorget with a shiny, oversized rivet. Since Rembrandt never served in the militia, the gorget is sheer affectation.

Although he was only twenty-three when he made this painting, Rembrandt utilized an impressive array of artistic techniques to fill it with emotion and drama. Already, his characteristic lighting and dense atmosphere are visible. He used nearly monochromatic hues and incisive brushwork, delineating individual strands of hair by scratching into the wet paint, to create this emotionally charged portrait. Studies such as this enabled him to create his later great works of art, which portray so authentically the feelings of the subjects.

Historical information

At the time of this portrait's creation, Rembrandt was still a young, uncelebrated painter in his hometown, Leiden. Working as the master of his own tiny workshop, he honed his craft. Samuel van Hoogstraten, who studied with Rembrandt, later wrote a painting manual advocating self-portraiture as practice for capturing emotion, since it allowed the painter to be "both performer and beholder." Rembrandt's followers endlessly emulated his self-portraits, creating a whole subgenre eagerly sought by collectors.

Attribution controversy


Self-portrait (Rembrandt, Indianapolis)

Attribution controversy

Rembrandt often used his self-portraits as teaching aids for his students, having them produce countless copies and variants both for their own edification and because they sold quite well. There are no fewer than five copies of this particular painting, which has led to some contention regarding its attribution over the decades. Art historian Abraham Bredius, who discovered it in a castle near Lvov in 1897, first presented it as an authentic Rembrandt, but his definitive Rembrandt catalogue reversed that opinion in 1969. Other scholars weighed in on both sides, before and after a 1966 cleaning. Technical examinations including X-radiography in 1979 settled the matter, and the work is now accepted as Rembrandt's own. The X-radiographs revealed extensive pentimenti where Rembrandt altered the angles of his shoulders and head, and his hat's position. This indicates that the work is an original composition, rather than a mere copy.

There is further specific evidence in favor of this attribution which does not require advanced equipment to discern. The painting bears the monogram RHL, which was used by Rembrandt during his years in Leiden. These initials were added when the paint was still wet, and do not appear on any of the copies. Furthermore, this portrait includes several blemishes on Rembrandt's chin. While he himself always recorded his face with all its wrinkles and imperfections, his students tended to gloss over such evidence of humanity.

Acquisition

Dr. G.H.A. Clowes purchased this painting in 1951, ending its circulation among the noble families of Poland. The Clowes family gave it to the IMA in 1959. It has the accession number C10063 and is currently on view in the Clowes Pavilion.

René Pelissier

Biography

See also Aerial victory standards of World War I

René Alphonse Pelissier was born on 30 April 1886 in Versailles, France.

On 2 August 1914, he was called to serve as an infantryman. He was promoted rapidly through the enlisted ranks until he was wounded on 30 April 1915. Rendered unfit for infantry service, he began pilot's training on 17 August 1915. On 14 January 1916, he graduated with his Military Pilot's Brevet. He reported for his first posting on 8 March 1916, to fly a Caudron for Escadrille C.53. He was wounded on 30 April and sent to hospital. Upon his return, he reported to Escadrille C.202 on 17 June 1916, again as a Caudron pilot. On 29 July, he shot down a German Fokker for his first aerial victory.

On 26 October 1916, Pelissier was pulled from combat duty to become an aviation instructor. Although there is no record of his reassignment from teaching, on 28 June 1917, he shot down an observation balloon for his fourth victory. On 6 January 1918, he was posted to Escadrille N.155. On 20 April 1918, he was commissioned into the officer's ranks as a Sous lieutenant. On 1 September 1918, he was granted command of Escadrille Spa.175. With them, he scored his sixth and last win on 16 September 1918.

The records of his aerial combats are both incomplete and contradictory. Escadrille N.155—which by 1918 was actually Escadrille Spa.155—claims that Pelissier scored five of his six victories with them. However, Escadrille C.202 says he scored four victories while with them—two on unknown dates in 1916. And his victory over an observation balloon with a Caudron bomber from C.202 seems unlikely. However it is agreed he shot down six enemy aircraft.

Regardless of confusion over his victories, Pelissier flew 694 hours of combat during World War I. For his valor, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre with five palmes and an etoile de argent, plus the Médaille militaire. On 29 September 1918, he was inducted into the Legion d'honneur.

René Alphonse Pelissier died in Paris on 27 March 1969.

Controversies

The Metropolitan Library System has been involved in a number of controversies and accusations of censorship. Many express concern that extreme cultural conservatives exercise an inordinate amount of power over the system.

"The Tin Drum" controversy

In 1997, the system was placed in the center of a dispute regarding the film "The Tin Drum". The conservative group "Oklahomans for Children and Families" checked out the film, as well as other material from the Library, and began accusing the library of being a harbor for "obscene" material, including the film in question. Members of the group began attending meetings of city councils around Oklahoma County, and were able to convince a number of these cities to pass resolutions regarding the group's goals.

Eventually one of the group's leaders turned over a copy of the film to local police. This resulted in the film being declared obscene by Oklahoma County District Judge Richard Freeman; as a result, all known copies of the film were seized from both libraries as well as individuals who had rented copies from video stores.

"Controversial" Children's Books


Metropolitan Library System (Oklahoma)

"Controversial" Children's Books

In August 2005, the Library Commission voted 10-7 to move "easy, easy-reader, and tween" books containing "sensitive or controversial" themes to an area that could only be accessed by adults. The decision was based primarily on concern by cultural conservatives that books that advocate acceptance of homosexuality, such as "King and King", were accessible by children. Staff of the Library system opposed such restrictions, and the American Library Association strongly condemned the decision.Sally Kern had spearheaded an effort to keep such books away from children; in May 2005, the Oklahoma House passed a nonbinding resolution to "confine homosexually themed books and other age-inappropriate material to areas exclusively for adult access and distribution", primarily due to Kern's efforts.

The Commission's decision was implemented in February 2006 as a "Family Talk" section that contained such controversial content. Further restrictions were added in November 2008, when the Commission added the requirement that such material must be placed at least 60 inches off the ground in order to be out of the reach of many children.

In December 2008, bloggers James Miko and Wayne Fuller accused Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett of working with Steve Kern, the husband of Rep. Sally Kern and pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, to make nominations to the Metropolitan Library Commission based on the issue of disallowing children access to such controversial books. The "Gossip Boy" blog had obtained a copy of a leaked conversation with Kern, where he mentioned his nominees for the Commission and mentioned that one "won’t take a lick of nonsense from the homos."

Attempted gag order on abortion information

In July 2022, the library system ordered its workers not to provide information about abortion to guests, saying in a memo, "If a staff member gives any information on how to obtain an abortion, then that person may be found personally liable and will also make MLS liable."American Library Association's Principles of Intellectual Freedom.
