南歌子·天上星河轉
天上星河轉，人間簾幕垂。涼生枕簟淚痕滋。起解羅衣聊問、夜何其。
翠貼蓮蓬小，金銷藕葉稀。舊時天氣舊時衣。只有情懷不似、舊家時。

What happened to this website? I remember it, and didn’t know it no longer exists.

Every university is a world unto itself.
Here, no, additional letters from other colleagues are not considered. In addition to external review letters, colleagues within my home department register their judgement through other formal processes.

On to the 1990s in this thread about who sampled the iconic drumbeat from The Honey Dripper’s “Impeach the President.” Let’s start with LL Cool J, “Six Minutes of Pleasure.” An under-appreciated single from the “Mama Said Knock You Out” LP produced by Marly Marl. The sample is there from the start.

In an internal Party speech 1/20/17, Chinese General Jin Yinan celebrated Trump's pullout from T.P.P. “We are quiet about it...We repeatedly state that Trump ‘harms China.’ We want to keep it that way. In fact, he has given China a huge gift...As the U.S. retreats globally, China shows up.”

Another 1989 track that sampled IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT is Big Daddy Kane’s “Smooth Operator.” Among the best golden age MCs, his hyper-sexual persona was often imitated, but his technique was peerless. This song reached no. 1 on U.S. Rap charts. Here is the breakdown:

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT was also an early West Coast hip hop thing. Here is Dr. Dre produced “Gangsta Gangsta” by N.W.A., first single in 1989 off their debut “Straight Outta Compton.” Recorded in 1988, same year Dr. Dre also placed the sample on Eazy-E’s massive Eazy-Duz-It.

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT spread from there. A year later 1988 we have the incredible double album by duo DJ Jazzy Jeff (Townes) and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith). The first hip hop double album goes platinum. This track wasn’t released as a single, but it’s still slapping 37 years later.

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT was then re-sampled on the 1987 diss track response by Boogie Down Productions “The Bridge is Over”, a killer classic w KRS-One and Scott LaRock. Their track went on to be sampled by many others.

Impeach The President was sampled to provide the groove for Janet Jackson’s 1993 jam, “That’s the Way Love Goes.”

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

I’m sure you know Joe McDermott’s “The Making of a New Rural Order in South China” — are you looking for something else to put in dialogue with that?

A strong piece that hones the ethical edge of your historical research, and animates early Buddhist materials into conversation with contemporary thinkers. Congratulations on its publication.
