Time Out started as a magazine created in 1968 by Tony Elliott who used birthday money to produce a one-sheet pamphlet. The first product was titled "Where It's At," before being inspired by Dave Brubeck’s album Time Out. The magazine was initially a counter-culture publication which took a non-conformist stance on issues such as gay rights, racial equality, and police harassment. As one example of its early editorial stance, in 1976 London's Time Out published the names of 60 purported CIA agents stationed in England. Early issues had a print run of around 5,000 and would evolve to a weekly circulation of 110,000 as it shed its radical roots.
Time-out, Time Out, or timeout may refer to:
In telecommunication and related engineering (including computer networking and programming), the term timeout or time-out has several meanings, including:
Timeout allows a more efficient usage of limited resources without requiring additional interaction from the agent interested in the goods that cause the consumption of these resources. The basic idea is that in situations where a system must wait for something to happen, rather than waiting indefinitely, the waiting will be aborted after the timeout period has elapsed. This is based on the assumption that further waiting is useless, and some other action is necessary.
Charles Dickens' works are especially associated with London which is the setting for many of his novels. These works do not just use London as a backdrop but are about the city and its character.
Dickens described London as a Magic lantern, a popular entertainment of the Victorian era, which projected images from slides. Of all Dickens' characters 'none played as important a role in his work as that of London itself', it fired his imagination and made him write. In a letter to John Forster, in 1846, Dickens wrote 'a day in London sets me up and starts me', but outside of the city, 'the toil and labour of writing, day after day, without that magic lantern is IMMENSE!!'
However, of the identifiable London locations that Dickens used in his work, scholar Clare Pettitt notes that many no longer exist, and, while 'you can track Dickens' London, and see where things were, but they aren't necessarily still there'.
In addition to his later novels and short stories, Dickens' descriptions of London, published in various newspapers in the 1830s, were released as a collected edition Sketches by Boz in 1836.
London is a poem by Samuel Johnson, produced shortly after he moved to London. Written in 1738, it was his first major published work. The poem in 263 lines imitates Juvenal's Third Satire, expressed by the character of Thales as he decides to leave London for Wales. Johnson imitated Juvenal because of his fondness for the Roman poet and he was following a popular 18th-century trend of Augustan poets headed by Alexander Pope that favoured imitations of classical poets, especially for young poets in their first ventures into published verse.
London was published anonymously and in multiple editions during 1738. It quickly received critical praise, notably from Pope. This would be the second time that Pope praised one of Johnson's poems; the first being for Messiah, Johnson's Latin translation of Pope's poem. Part of that praise comes from the political basis of the poem. From a modern view, the poem is outshined by Johnson's later poem, The Vanity of Human Wishes as well as works like his A Dictionary of the English Language, his Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, and his periodical essays for The Rambler, The Idler, and The Adventurer.
You live your life
Like you are counting every hour
No time to spare
No time to smell the flowers
You work your fingers to the bone (just to stay alive)
Now you find yourself alone (you say you will survive)
This life won't last forever
You need to take some time out while you can
CHORUS:
Time out (stop and look around you)
Take some time out (so many things to see)
Time out (don't let this life go on without you)
Take some time out, time out
Time out!
All day, all night
You're trying to make a living
It's an oversight
There's something you're forgetting
Your son has things he wants to show you (you are never home)
Your friends don't even know you (and you never phone)
This life won't last forever
You need to take some time out while you can
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Good friends, family, too
Look at all, all that God has given to you
He gave His all, His greatest Gift
Life that we can live
