After finishing his MA studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1957, Oded entered Israel's Foreign Ministry. In 1961, when African countries started receiving their independence, Oded received a scholarship from Israel's Foreign Ministry to study for his doctorate at Makerere University in Uganda which was at the time the only university in East Africa. During his one-year stay in Uganda, he was informed about a community of African Jews who called themselves the Abayudaya (which means "Jews" in the local language), which was unknown to the outside world and had been founded in 1919 by Semei Kakungulu, a successful army general of the Buganda Kingdom.See book: Michael Twaddle, Kakungulu and the Creation of Uganda, 1868 - 1928, James Currey Ltd.

When released, critic Bosley Crowther lambasted the film, especially the screenplay, writing, "Things must be tough in the picture business when such a respectable cast as is in The Secret Fury, now on the Paramount's screen, descends to such cheap and lurid twaddle as this R. K. O. melodrama is, Claudette Colbert, Robert Ryan, Paul Kelly, Philip Ober, Jane Cowl and even José Ferrer in a 'bit' role are the major performers who expend more physical energy than intelligence on this wantonly unintelligible tale.... To lay any blame on the performers for the nonsense that takes place on the screen would be an obvious injustice."Crowther, Bosley. The New York Times, film review, June 22, 1950.

In January, 1946, the 15-year-old narrator (unnamed except for the "Junior" that distinguishes him from his father) receives an envelope addressed to him found amongst his late father's papers. The contents are a two-page letter of fatherly advice, identifying Senior's main regrets in life as words of warning. A few bits from the letter are quoted, they are "bland homilies" and "banal twaddle". Junior initially puzzles over the form of the letter, not really noticing the content: the fact that the letter was dated to three years previously, the fact that it was typed--which his father never did, the fact that he had no idea of its existence, the fact that the envelope itself, addressed to him, had last been seen in a safe-deposit box.

At first Dickens was not inclined to take the job, and he wrote to Bentley in October 1837: > I have thought the matter over, and looked it over, too. It is very badly > done, and is so redolent of twaddle that I fear I cannot take it up on any > conditions to which you would be disposed to accede. I should require to be > assured three hundred pounds in the first instance without any reference to > the sale – and as I should be bound to stipulate in addition that the book > should not be published in numbers I think it would scarcely serve your > purpose. However, Bentley agreed to Dickens' terms (a guarantee of three hundred pounds and an agreement to publish the book all at once, and not in monthly numbers).

His clumsy flow is no worse than Diddy's jittery streams of twaddle, but it's just as annoying. The tendency here, whether intentional or not, is to surround himself with mediocre talent rather than the titans who he helped make superstars [...] The overall laziness of that facet is even more inexcusable coming from one of the most renowned producers of the last decade.". The most positive review comes from USA Today, Steve Jones says "He misses occasionally on this 17-track opus, but he's mainly on target with his jolts to the eardrums." However, August Brown of the Los Angeles Times was a little less critical, stating that, "many of the same vices that plagued the first installment of Shock Value keep the second edition sodden as well: Tim's precise, micromanaged beats usually outshine his random collection of vocal collaborators.

" The large amount of percussive breakbeats, as is common with contemporary dance music, augment Bannett's pipe and fiddle playing throughout, though the electronic beats are mostly unobtrusive, allowing the fiddles and pipes more room to permeate. Other electronic sounds on the album include ambient textures like in that of contemporary electronica, including modem-style squeals and micro-processed winds. Described by Bennett as "a party tune with a pile of twaddle over the top," the opening "Tongues of Kali" is an upbeat number flavoured by Punjabi music, and contains funky grooves, bagpipes, sitar and "DJ tinged mayhem." It starts with thick vocal gargling, keyboard work and percussion which journalist Scott Frampton compared to the sound of "someone whacking a caber tosser's thigh," before the appearance of a house hi-hat rhythm and later a "sort of Gaelic scat.

He also vehemently denounced his critics and those with whom he disagreed. For example, in 1888 the Columbia Chess Chronicle quoted a lecture he had given two days before on the Steinitz Gambit. After condemning as "utterly worthless" the analysis of that opening published in two English periodicals, Gossip declaimed:Winter 2004 (quoting Columbia Chess Chronicle, September 15, 1888, pp. 91–92). > In order, therefore, to establish an important point of theory, and at the > same time to prevent American chessplayers from being misled and deceived by > the superficial analysis of incompetent British chess editors, whose object > in condemning the Steinitz Gambit has obviously been mainly to depreciate > the originality of its illustrious inventor, whom they invariably try to > drag down to their own miserable level of shallow incompetency and self- > conceit, I submit the following variations which at any rate possess the > undeniable merit of exposing the hollow analytical twaddle continually > published in the two London journals above named.

In addition, he was a confirmed socialist and a close friend of the leftist writer, Herman Gorter This influence may also be reflected in his harsh criticism of Johanna Gezina van Gogh-Bonger while she was organizing in 1892 an exhibition of Vincent Willem van Gogh's, her brother in law's works, hence indirectly criticizing also Van Goghs's work: "Mrs Van Gogh is a charming little woman, but it irritates me when someone gushes fanatically on a subject she knows nothing about, and although blinded by sentimentality still thinks she is adopting a strictly critical attitude. It is schoolgirlish twaddle, nothing more. [...] The work that Mrs Van Gogh would like best is the one that was the most bombastic and sentimental, the one that made her shed the most tears; she forgets that her sorrow is turning Vincent into a god."Quoted in J.M. Joosten, "Van Gogh publicaties (15) deel 6", Museumjournaal 15 (1970), pp.

(Worcester Bicentennial Commission), 1977 but were later criticized for their 'operatic' style"We have listened ad nauseam to the ... weary list of Masses and Vespers with their borrowings of the worst characteristics of an operatic style which even in the theatre has been rejected as artificial and unworthy of serious consideration from a purely artistic standpoint.... Who that has learned to appreciate the noble magnificence of a Palestrina ...could tolerate the twaddle of our Mercadantes or Peters or Stearns?", Church Music and the Parish School, The Rev.
