The album was released on 29 August 2001 in Japan, 3 September 2001 in the United Kingdom by Sony Soho Square and 11 September 2001 by Epic Records in the United States.

The sleeve art of ''A Funk Odyssey'' is the first Jamiroquai album not to prominently feature the “buffalo man” logo on its cover. In a 2001 interview with ''Billboard'' magazine, Kay said he wrote the deliberately simple first single " Little L" in 25 minutes, "It would have been so easy to overthink and overwrite that song, because it's so incredibly simple. But that would've killed it." He described the fourth single, " Corner of the Earth", as a "spiritual song" that "speaks for anyone wh ...

Eloyi Language
Eloyi, or Afu (Afo) or Ajiri, is a Plateau language of uncertain classification. It is spoken by the Eloyi people of Agatu LGA and Otukpo LGA of Benue State and Nassarawa State in Nigeria. Classification Armstrong (1955, 1983) classified Eloyi as Idomoid, but that identification was based on a single word list and Armstrong later expressed doubts. Other preliminary accounts classify it as Plateau, and Blench (2008) leaves it as a separate branch of Plateau. Blench (2007) considers Eloyi to be a divergent Plateau language that has undergone Idomoid influence, rather than vice versa. Phonology Consonants * Muniru et al. (2021) classify as post-alveolar, but , , and as palatal. * Blench (2007) includes two palatal plosives, written and , which Muniru et al. (2021) interpret as and , respectively. However, Muniru et al. do not find in their wordlists. * Muniru et al. also place in the labial-velar column of the table but describe it as a voiceless glottal fricative. Blen ...

Assemblée De La Francophonie De L'Ontario
AFO, or Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario (, ''Francophone Assembly of Ontario'') is a Canadian organization which coordinates the political and cultural activities of the Franco-Ontarian community. The organization was created in 1910 as the ''Association canadienne-française d'Éducation de l'Ontario'' (''ACFÉO'') to lobby for French language education rights in the province. The organization and the Franco-Ontarian community at large faced a serious early crisis when the provincial government adopted Regulation 17 in 1912, effectively banning the teaching of French in schools. The regulation was never fully implemented because of ACFÉO's litigation, and it was eventually repealed in 1927. ACFÉO subsequently changed its name to ''Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario'' ("Association of French Canadians of Ontario"), or ''ACFO''. The organization continued to lobby for the improvement of French language services in the province. It was instrumental in the ...

Arellano-Felix Organization
The Tijuana Cartel (, ), formerly also known as the Arellano-Félix Cartel (, CAF), is a Mexican drug cartel based in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Founded by the Arellano-Félix family, the cartel once was described as "one of the biggest and most violent criminal groups in Mexico". However, since the 2006 Sinaloa Cartel incursion into Baja California and the fall of the Arellano-Félix brothers, the Tijuana Cartel has been reduced to a few cells. In 2016, the organization became known as Cartel Tijuana Nueva Generación (New Generation Tijuana Cartel) and began to align itself under the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, along with the Beltrán Leyva Organization (BLO) to create an anti-Sinaloa alliance, which the Jalisco New Generation Cartel heads. This alliance has since dwindled as the Tijuana, Jalisco New Generation, and Sinaloa cartels all now battle each other for trafficking influence in the city of Tijuana and the region of Baja California.

Whilst in Insein prison in July 1941, CPB leaders Thakin Than Tun and Thakin Soe had co-authored the ''Insein Manifesto'', which, against the prevailing opinion in the Burmese nationalist movement led by the '' Dobama Asiayone'', identified world fascism as the main enemy in the coming war and called for temporary cooperation with the British in a broad allied coalition that included the Soviet Union.
