Old English æfter "after, next, throughout, following in time, later," from Old English of "off" (see of) + -ter, a comparative suffix; thus the original meaning was "more away, farther off." Compare Old Norse eptir "after," Old High German aftar, Gothic aftra "behind." Cognate with Greek apotero "farther off."\n

\nAfter hours "after regular working hours" is from 1861. Afterwit "wisdom that comes too late" is attested from c.1500 but seems to have fallen from use, despite being more needed now than ever. After you as an expression in yielding precedence is recorded by 1650.

The manuscript is dated 21 June 1895.

The song was first performed by the Irish baritone Harry Plunket Greene in St. James's Hall on 2 March 1900, together with A Song of Flight, Op. 31, No.2.

After (Ihsahn album)

After (2012 film)

After is a 2012 fantasy thriller film written and directed by Ryan Smith and starring Steven Strait and Karolina Wydra. It premiered at the 43rd Annual Nashville Film Festival on April 19, 2012. Canadian distributor Mongrel Media acquired the North American rights to the film in June 2013.

After (novel)

After is a young adult novel written by Francine Prose. It was first published in 2003, and the nearby school shooting is reminiscent of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.

After a school shooting 50 miles away, the new grief and crisis counselor (Dr. Willner) attempts to control the students' lives, using the recent tragedy as an excuse for incresingly restricting their lives. The school gradually is controlled by the grip of the administration, and students who do not comply with the new rules disappear, never to be seen again.

Its plot is reminiscent of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

Similarities include the normalization of propaganda and surveillance with the telescreens in 1984 and the TV's on school buses spouting so called educational content that turns out to be blatantly false. These novels also touch on brainwashing, with the nightly emails sent to parents that convince them to send their children away to reform camps from which they never return.

In contrast, After takes place during the reforms, showing how they were allowed to happen, while 1984 only shows the aftermath and its inevitability. The ending of After also shows the main character (Tom Bishop) escaping his town with his friends and family, a much lighter closing than 1984.

Described in the New York Times Book Review as a "rich parable", this novel questions the line that must be drawn when freedom is more important than safety.

After (book)

After is a non-fiction book, written by Canadian writer Francis Chalifour, first published in October 2005 by Tundra Books. In the book, the author narrates his pain and confusion as he grieved his father's death by suicide. Judith Miller, an award judge for the Edna Staebler Award called After, "deeply moving" saying, "We enjoyed the lyricism of his language and his strong sense of character."

After (The Walking Dead)

"After" is the ninth episode and mid-season premiere of the fourth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead; it aired on AMC on February 9, 2014. In this episode — written by Robert Kirkman and directed by Greg Nicotero — Rick ( Andrew Lincoln) and Carl Grimes ( Chandler Riggs) find themselves on the road following the attack on the prison, while Michonne ( Danai Gurira) deals with her past.

The plot for this episode is very similar to Volume #9 Issues #49 and #50 of the comic book series.

The episode was watched by 15.76 million viewers, issuing a significant rise in ratings from the previous episode two months prior; however, commentators had varied reactions to it, with many noting positively the character development but commenting negatively on the episode's pace.

After (Lady Lamb album)

After is the second studio album by American musician Lady Lamb. It was released in March 2015 under Mom + Pop Music.
